I have a very simple approach to fine art nude photography. I listen, observe and adjust, and then I imbue it with my own artistic style. Every woman has a different body language simply because they all have various personalities and life experiences. Psychologically they are all unique. On the other hand, there share many similarities. But knowing those is nowhere near enoguh to be able to create truly beautiful, sexy and at the same time sensual and delicate images. You have to understand how women react, what they react to, what makes them wonder, what throws them off, or even what allures them. Woman can go through a range of emotions during one morning equal to what an average man can cope with throughout a 10 year period. Their emotional spetrum is not only wider, but also much richer and way more unpredictable. So again, watch and learn, experience and remember, or better still try not to forget. Most images captured by men will not appeal to women, or at least not that easily or not in a way it was intended. One issue is that photographs that guys take are way too obvious, they simply mimic bioogical mind set up of a man, which is based on shortcuts. Those are both visual and emotional shortcuts. Shortcuts are for those who don't like puzzles, have no patience for sharades, and cannot be bothered with voicing their feelings. Men want visuals, women desire getting lost in words men want to touch, women like to evade, men want to act, women prefer to react. There is a brilliant saying that goes: if a woman isn't late it means she isn't coming at all. Think about it. My advice is thus. Try to forget what you want to see, and try to feel what she would want to express. A nude photograph should be like a good conversation. There are things that will remain unsaid, even though we may imagine what they are, things that could have been heard if you listened closer and paid attention, or simply - cared. Focus on the general beauty of female body not the parts of it, you are not shooting a car. Most importantly, you will have to learn how to break the personal barrier without making your model feeling uncomfortable. Body language does not lie. Those photographs should look like as if she took them alone in her room, completely oblivious and relaxed. If you can tell from the mood in the image that there was someone else in the room taking photos, it is not going to be enticing enough, well at least to a woman. The simplest way to think about fine art nude photography whenever you photographing women is to shoot for them and not for yourself. Your style is essential, because you are in charge of the lights, depth of field and all that technical malarkey. Those are your images, yes, but it is not your body, not your soul, and not your sexuality. If you manage to dress your nude model in the attire of who she really is as a woman, and have her feel complete when she looks at her own images, then and only then you can call it fine art nude photography.
