Quick Pic Question

[Themachine01]

Im gonna be taking some progress pics this weekend and last time they didnt come out that well. What is the best way to get the cuts to show up nice? where should the light source be, directly above, behind, or in front? light oil, or no oil? etc. Thanks.

oil up, stand behind a white sheet, have good lighting, and take a black and white photo

as long as its not "head-on" direct centre light, the definitions will show nicely. and ofcourse a light layer of oil. light.

Do this, but don't oil up too heavy though. You will smoot out and look fat. Black and white works best. Lighting works best above and in front of you and above you, just like stage lighting.

sounds good, thanks guys.

would baby oil do the job?

 

[Japanese machine]

sure it would; flax oil would work , lol. its just a matter of a light layer to catch light, so that your cuts look deeper.

i think light above looks better.

Im not good at this picture thing and I want them to turn out good. What time of the day would be best? should I take them on a carb up day or on an empty stomach, is there anything I can take to tighten my skin up such as salt?

spray down with Pam, you'll look fine

 

[Themachine01]

thanks projection, anyone with any useful advise

I would say take them right when you wake up...personally I look more cut before I eat. Do some pushups and pullups to get a small pump going as well.
