Mar 28 11 10:15 pm Link I've used olive oil as a model...I hate the smell but NEVER EVER use motor oil Mar 29 11 05:46 am Link aquarelle wrote: I didn't think you were that new here. Mar 29 11 02:00 pm Link I have heard of photographers using pam. Simply because it's sprayable avoiding any issues with hands on.. Mar 29 11 02:35 pm Link I don't think anyone mentioned vaseline lotion (more vaseline than lotion actually) it's way more subtle for people with bony parts and might come out just a tad more subtle than the OP's example pic.

It has a warm glow, not overkill, and it works well with models with particularly sensitive skin.

I used to do massage therapy on women, so didn't even think there would be a problem with hands on. Do models really have a problem with that even if it is for a shoot?

As to your question, i was licensed in Atlanta for 12 years, and because of 2 lower back operations had trouble when I did men. din't want a 3rd operation so limited it to women. Mar 30 11 12:29 pm Link Anyone had any experience using crude oil? I've heard it's good for girls without tans.. Mar 30 11 12:31 pm Link Never use ANY automotive lubricants of any kind on the skin of anyone that you do not hate. Vehicle fluids, especially used, are very bad for people. I know that it's not an oil but, if you want a really high gloss, Coppertone Sport spray on sun screen is shiny as hell. Mar 30 11 12:43 pm Link ... Baby oil works. ... The skin eventually absorbs the oil, so you'll need to reapply. ... The floor will get messy -- best to have plenty of towels laid down before the model oils up. ... Best to oil up at the posing spot -- otherwise, you'd track oil all over. ... Your standard lighting might not work well for oiled skin -- manage those reflected highlights. ... Towards the end of the photography session, try misting the model with water from a spray bottle -- the model will appreciate it if you use warm/hot water.

Mar 30 11 01:22 pm Link Does regular Pam work, our do you have to get the olive oil version? Mar 30 11 03:58 pm Link As for the thing about getting cold. Only liquids that evaporate quickly will feel cold. So most oils do not evaporate fast. Mar 30 11 04:01 pm Link Coconut oil, but it's pricey. Mar 30 11 04:05 pm Link i find that "pam" (yes the spray can kind) works very well... spray directly on model and towel it off a bit to get rid of some of the moistness, you will still have that slight glistening you need and its not as messy........be sure not to get the "butter" flavor Pam, smell will make you crave popcorn! Mar 30 11 04:07 pm Link Not to get off topic, but does the butter Pam spray work for popcorn? I just made some microwave popcorn and it seriously lacked any butter, even though it said so on the box. Mar 30 11 04:14 pm Link Sophia Be wrote: Because of muscle density, and having to work harder, doing men caused soreness in my lower back. I realized this when I was in school, and had to men as well as women. Mar 30 11 06:01 pm Link DMesser Photography wrote: I see, makes sense I guess.

Mar 30 11 06:07 pm Link A can of  oil will do the trick and shoot it in natural light with soft boxes set on the sidesMar 30 11 06:13 pm Link Swanson Studios wrote: I was assuming this was a joke the first time it was mentioned. Oiling your skin with motor oil is a good way to develop aplastic anemia and leukemia as benzene soaks into the skin cells replacing the water. Having lost a friend to this after he spent a few days helping to clean up an oil spill without wearing protective gear I certainly wouldn't want to be part of having a model wear it for a photo session. The problem is that as the oil soaks into the skin it does not wash off in the shower. Instead, its poisonous effects can continue for hours and even days.

Mar 30 11 07:32 pm Link Good Egg Productions wrote: I don't like that "rule" at all. I wouldn't ingest soap, hand, sanitizer, or suntan lotion, but have no problem using them on my skin. Apr 13 11 11:23 pm Link Bodybuilders' posing oil, for the wet fish look. But, actually, applied sparingly, or towelled down, the stuff gives black skin a subtle sheen which is very photogenic. Apr 13 11 11:39 pm Link I like the title of this thread imagery.
