Default Help!!!

Okay....so I've been talking to a woman who wants to take some "sexy" shots for her husband. She's a beautiful woman but very self conscious about her body. She is heavyset. How do I help her pose for the type of shots she's wanting while still being "forgiving" of the areas of her body that she's uncomfortable with? She has great legs and a great bust. Her biggest concern is her midsection.

Any helpful hints, ideas, or tips would be greatly appreciated.

One shot we are going to try is with a hay bail and her wearing a hat and a pair of cowboy boots and nothing more. She will be laying on her stomach to de-emphasize her midsection with her legs lifted behind her. I plan on taking shots from multiple angles with this pose but still want to expand and I'm just not sure how to do that while still taking the emphasis off her midsection.

Thank You!

A corsets might help in this situation. Ask what clothes does she have that she feels sexy in. I wish you luck.

I love the corset idea, and it would emphasize her bust. You could do the same idea, with a twist. Have her wearing one of her husbands shirts, like a flannel or denim. Something button up. Have her sit slightly sideways, the shirt unbuttoned all the way, and hold the tails down to [I]just[I] cover her breasts, have the leg closest to you hide the more intimate parts of her body. Also, use things like fabrics to hide her midsection, draped over her or such in a way that leaves a little to the imagination. If she feels sexy, the shots will look sexy. Think a model in a shoot for a major fashion magazine, tell her shes great, that shes got such great lines, talk her up. Wait to do your cowgirl idea til the middle-end of the shoot, that way she'll prolly be more relaxed and itll have a little more attitude than the first shots.

Just an idea,..
