I am not trained as a photographer, but in the course of doing my job some picture taking is required and occasionally I get some decent results.

Erotic photography is something I've thought about doing for the past several months; I'm talking tasteful and dignified, not raunchy.. THinking more about taking photos for someone who wants to build a portfolio or would like her photos for personal use only.


I'm wondering though, what issues I have think about besides just taking the pictures, legal issues, etc.

All feedback, from those who take pictures and those who have there pictures taken, is appreciated.

    As a photog, one has to make the model/subject comfortable. Preplanning helps, if one can previsualized, what the desired effect would be. Work out some sketches before hand without the model. Figure out what kind of expressions you would consider.

    Review different Erotic photographer's work over the years, from Paul Outerbridge to Maplethrope to David LaChapelle.
