Cheat Sheet Flash Photography: PDF for using fill flash right

Sometimes I get asked how to use flash lights and how to achieve which
effects. I am a big fan of simple usage of light. You don't need a
complex setup for good photographs.

For example, even with a flash you stick on top of your camera you can
easily achieve great effects. You just have to be brave enough to use
manual mode in your camera. Dan Richards wrote a perfect cheat sheet for
fill flash. It exists for a couple of years and still is very helpful.
So thank Dan Richards and download the PDF here:

Another nude photo blog: Ne te promène donc pas toute nue

Nete

Usually I don't like to write about tumblr blogs. Most of them derive
from stolen, oh sorry, collected images from around the web with no
credits given.

In this blog "Ne te promène donc pas toute nue" credits are claimed to
be given but only hidden in the source code of the page. This is quite
lame but I really hope it is only because of technical reasons.

As the person collecting the images and showcasing them has a very good
taste for nudes in my opinion, I'd like to suggest to review this blog
anyway:

P.S. What makes it so difficult for people to write the name and url of
the photographer underneath a picture?

Punks Jump Up: Blockhead (unofficial video) by lee B. voyeur

Unofficial but fun. So many boobies, vintage footage...

Daniel Dash: Glamour Nude Photography

Dashc

This is a portfolio which looks very commercial at first sight. No
doubt, great productions, but the pearls are hidden a bit, in my
opinion. And they are sure there. Excellent photographs, stunning strong
images.

Check out Daniel Dash's website:

P.S. Quiz question: Who is the beautiful model in the picture?

Moritz Schell: Strong Photography from Vienna, Austria

Moritz

As you know, I am a fan of fashion inspiration. The portfolio of Moritz
Schell from Vienna really kicks ass in this aspect. Great fashion
photography (as usual, with an erotic touch to it). "Four" is my
favourite series.

Paintings by Ken Keirns

Ken

Ken and I have one thing in common. We focus mainly on the subject of
females in our works. I found his website and really liked the style of
the paintings. Full of expression, reduced in a way and I can see irony
floating through, also.

Catherine Louis Photography: Great works in this portfolio

Cath

While the professional works are absolutely fine also, I really like the
personal studies of Catherine Louis. Sensual body studies, greatly put
into scene:
