Our best advice on how to take a great nude, whether or not you own a full-length mirror
Photo: Photo-Illustration by The Cut; Photos: Getty Images One of the interesting side effects of recent self-isolation measures is that people seem to be getting hornier. Maybe it’s a primal response to the anxiety of the moment, or a desire for human contact that has hardened into something more carnal. Perhaps it’s just the nice weather. But unless you’re quarantined with a regular or potential sexual partner, your options for having sex with another person are limited.
What to include instead: books, candles, plants, clean furniture, exposed brick, attractive lamps. Props, too, are useful — think fruits, flowers, rope, a baguette; in general, the idea is not to distract but to enhance. That said, the nude is extremely subjective, and a lot depends on what you want to communicate. For passion, try a bitten lip and lacy bra. For indifference, maybe leave that pile of laundry in the shot. Adjust accordingly.
There’s also the bathtub nude. This can be of anything! Take a photo of your knees, feet, legs, whatever. The way the water captures the light is very pleasing, and you can also use things like bubble bath to your creative advantage: Conceal and reveal to your heart’s content. My colleague, Brock Colyar, maintains that the key to a good nude is “a floor-length or vanity mirror that is in need of a good Windex … The grimy mirror doesn’t give too much away , and leaves some stuff up to their imagination.”
