With so many cross dressers choosing to capture their en-femme experiences with the help of digital cameras, it makes sense to cover some photography basics. By following some simple guidelines, you too can expect perfect cross dressing pics, every time.
Background
Try to choose a plain background, so that it does not distract from the image you are trying to capture. If you are taking photos in your home, be mindful of any clutter or unnecessary items in the background.
Use a Flash
If you’re taking pictures outdoors on a bright day, the sun can cause you to blink and throw harsh shadows on your face. If this happens, turn the flash on to lighten the face. It is because of this that sometimes the best photographs are taken in cloudy or overcast conditions.
Up Close
As you start to become more confident in perfecting your feminine appearance, try to move a little closer to the camera. A close-up picture can capture depth and definition that you don’t get from a picture taken at a distance.
Variety
Try to capture images in a variety of poses and in different settings. This keeps things interesting and often gives better results. If you trust someone enough to take pictures of you, use the opportunity to suggest a fun photo shoot. Instead of looking into the camera, allow them to take random photographs of you relaxing, chatting, laughing or playing.
Improve
There’s no harm in tweaking your pictures a little, to get rid of ghastly red eyes or to brighten things up. This can be done quickly and easily using photo editing software.
High Resolution
If you’ve paid top dollar for a state-of-the-art digital camera, then get your money’s worth buy taking plenty of pictures in the highest resolution it can manage. While you’re at it, also ensure that you’re shooting at your camera’s highest quality compression setting. Of course, this means that you’ll need an extra huge memory card. So, be prepared and invest in one straightaway. You never know when you might need it.
Tripod
Tripods are known as being big and bulky, and are an absolute pain to carry around. However, most cross dressing pics will be taken in the privacy of one’s home. So, if you want some great pictures and don’t have anyone to give you a hand, then a tripod may be the answer.
Self-Timer
This is a great little function that’s used a fair bit by cross dressers. If your camera has a self-timer, take advantage of it. Of course, you may need to read the instruction manual a few times to figure it out!
Even the simplest digital cameras can produce some great results. So, don’t be shy. With a little know-how, you’ll soon be taking pictures like a pro.
