Tips for taking artistic nude shots of black female? I only have a speedlite, flashlight and tripod. But i am having a hard time coming up with inspiration. |
With limitations such as lack of studio and studio equipment the next option is outdoors and that would be secluded outdoors. Pick an area where there isn't any traffic and where the area is very private. If you could find a building with a skylight that would be perfect. From that point the only necessity would be controlling the light.
I would suggest doing something very artistic, if you're not looking for erotica. There are millions and millions of possiblities and the universe is the limit, just open your mind.
Personally, I like art with a message and with an African American female there are many possiblities and many messages to convey. One possibility is a past to present concept. Tying in the heritage to modern day. One idea that comes to mind very immediately is a living room with modern day furniture. Perhaps some fancy pottery or statutes that would immediately convey high society, then perhaps placing numerous outfits in the background and then placing the woman in front totally nude.
The tripod can makeup for the lack of studio lights provided that the model can hold still for a second or two. Use the speedlight to bounce a flash and fill in.
The woman is the only item that needs to be in super sharp focus thereby a large aperture such as 2.8 or anything under F8 should not pose a problem. Hope that helps. |

Why are black people shown nude more freely in the media than whites? I've noticed in many documentaries about natives or tribal culture that dark skinned men and women are shown almost nude quite often. Women are shown bare breasted as well. There was even a movie recently called Slumdog Millionaire which has a scene that shows one of the main characters- a small boy running naked to the bathroom. But western men and women aren't shown like this as much and when they are, the material is usually rated M or R. Males are also more likely to be shown nude atleast from behind than females. |
| Historically indigenous and tribal people were not viewed at as human like Europeans. Because of their primitive customs and lack of clothing (which made sense because it was hot), they were likened to animals in the jungle. Western people have a puritanical view of the naked body and are ashamed of theirs unlike the tribal people. To Westerners the custom of showing tribal people naked was okay . It all depends on who is valued most in the Westerner's eyes. Obviously people of color are at the bottom then women and white men at the top of the food chain. |
For black people - would you be upset if you saw some white teenagers giggling at a nude black woman photo? Now then, before you elect to delete the question, please hear me out. The question needs to be buttressed by more information that can't be included in the header. So then, imagine that you see a group of white teenagers looking at a nude black woman in a Playboy-type magazine (please, no comments specifically about Playboy since this is not the issue). These teenagers are giggling and making fun of the black woman. How would you feel? Now then, I already know that the first response will be "but if I saw a group of black teenagers doing this, I would also be angry". Very well then, let's dissect it further. What if the group of black teenagers were saying the exact same things that the white teenagers were, would you be more angry at the black teenagers or the white ones? This question is not meant to offend and I am not taking a stand on pornography/erotica. This is a question about racial tensions in the USA. I think it is significant because it goes to the heart of our psyche when it comes to racial issues in the USA. It is certainly something that we don't want to talk about, but the only way we can solve the problem of racial tension in the USA is if we talk honestly about it. I, for one, would be more upset if I saw a group of black teenagers giggling and making fun of a nude white female than I would be if the group were white and saying the exact same things. I would feel that this would be an insult to my own group. I would think that the white woman who posed for the picture put herself in a very vulnerable position by allowing other ethnic groups to make fun of her ethniticy. I think that this is also how black people feel, but even more so since blacks are a minority in the USA. For a black woman to pose nude would be putting her in an even more vulnerable position in which she is open to ridicule, only because there are more white people. For this reason, I would suspect that black women are less likely to do such things in the USA. I think that having these feelings are natural and nothing to be ashamed of. We need to discuss them honestly in order to understand each other better. |
| Back in grade school they use to have National Geographic magazines and all the little white boys would be looking at the naked African women. They weren't nearly as hot as Playboy but I think when a group of boys look at a naked magazine together it's awkward for them so they laugh because they can't get off with the others watching. I could care less unless I know that woman personally. |
I have a pair of metal, old black bookends, each with a reclining female nude figure. Artist/ Manufacturer? How old? They are unsigned with no identifying marks. They have a satin finish and are metal casts, I believe. |
| Probably from the early art deco period, as this was a popular subject....I bet it looks like one of those old hood ornaments. If not signed, I'd take them to an appraiser. Check ebay for similar bookends |
Why don't black actors go naked more in tv and film? I am wondering why- as a black female- we don't see black actors go nude on screen, but it takes very little to persuade white actors of all ages to go nude. |
| I don't know but from a female standpoint, I would love to see more black males get naked! |
I am only attracted to black females; do people think this is strange? For some reason or another I only am attracted to black woman. It has been like this since I have been around 6 years old. I am a dark completed Italian man. Both of my parents are from Sicily. I grew up around all kinds of people. But I have a strong attraction to black woman. A lot of black females love Italian guys so it works well. The girl that took my virginity was African American. The first woman I ever seen nude was my 17 year old woman (she watched me as a guy). So what is it because of those things? Or is it just the way I am? Do people find it strange that I do? I know my mom can’t understand it. |
| I'm Italian too and im attracted to black females, but im also attracted to white females :) nothing strange about it |
