I remember seeing this discussion but a search failed to locate anything on the subject.

What are some of the ways to get nipples to stand up "perky" for photo shoots without coming across as being a perve ?

A cold can of Coca Cola. And you can drink it afterwards.

Act professional but not aloof. Establishing a "trust" between you and the model is so important to getting great images. NO touching and don't be afraid to verbally instruct the model in what you want.

Doesn't that pretty much cover it? Every person on the face of the earth knows that nipples respond to cold and physical manipulation. If you're too timid after 27 years of shooting to ask a model to fluff up the nips...I don't know what to tell you.

Well then just shut the hell up and go somewhere else ?

Verbally telling a model to perk up her nipples doesn't always work. Is ice better than air ? Is a feather better than cold ?

Sheesh, some people get their panties in such a twist......

Give a cold soda can to the model to put on her nipples. I didn't make this up, I learned from the model.

If this is important to your vision of the shot then just tell the model ahead of time. She'll know what's required and then be prepared for the shoot. It's really no different than asking anything else concerning the shoot. Be professional!

That's what you took from my response?


If your question was about making 5 year old's nipples stand up and not appear pervy, you should have been more specific.  As it wasn't (as you and I both know), I'll amend my statement. Anyone you are shooting where the nipples are required to be "perky" will know how to do it. You just have to ask them.


And FYI... what a stupid question.

Cold.


Physical manipulation.

U guys play nice...... Txt can often bn takn out of context... but as every1 said, jus ask, if a model is to take offense thn mayb she jus needed a way out of doing it n the first place.... but of course be respectful and professional.

Eye drops. They cause the blood vessels to constrict which (you guessed it) makes the nipple become 'perky.'

Sure it does.  If she doesn't seem to take the request seriously, say "no, really" and ask her if a soda or something would help.

The way we did it at Playboy was to use canned air (DustOff) and turn the can upside down.

Spray the breasts and torso from about 2 feet away (so you don't burn the model with extremely cold spray).

There is no leftover residue or wet areas and the effect is immediate and should last several minutes KM

wow this is getting intense, ok heres the method that has been around forever and is still used at playboy, simply use canned air the kind you use to clean your keyboard, ya just a tiny little sprits on the nipples and your good, and again just a quick sprits, too much and it can hurt because it is really cold
