Hi All,

Hope you are keeping very well!

Just wondered, from a photographers perspective, which is easier to capture, breasts or bottoms?

Honestly, I don't like photos where the main subject is either...

Boobies.  You have to make a woman flex her booty to make it look good.

Booty.

Unfettered boobies can be a bitch, particularly the large variety.

IMHO I would have to try shots of both for any given woman before I could decide.

All depends on the shape of the model and how they need to be presented and to what degree of exposure the model wishes to display them.

Really? I've shot lots of booty's and I don't recall ever having to ask the model to flex it. Clenched butt cheeks aren't attractive...not to me anyway.

Not necessarily "clenched", more like contract their Gluteal muscles.

Boobs for sure.  All you need is an ice pack or air conditioning on full blast and you're good to go.  As long as the model has good posture and gravity hasn't worked it's cruel magic, it's not hard to get a nice shot.

I still haven't taken a great ass shot yet.  Change your pov a few degrees or get a model not experienced at posing (I work with beginners) and it goes from bootylicious to pancake ass from one shot to the next.  I'm sure there are tricks we haven't figured out yet but currently it's like playing Where's Waldo.

With a set of 36Gs I would agree.
(I posted that bit of information because I always try to help models achieve their goals on MM.)

A clarification is needed before I can answer accurately.

My forte is the booty and I find that easier, as I know the angles better....but either skill could be acquired.

Guessing he means asses only look good when they're clenched.  Which is silly because then a lot of pictures would look like the model has a stick up her ass.

It would make the whole posing thing alot easier, though.  Just give her a cherry or small marble and tell her to clench. VOILA!
