what does everyone use to make a models body shine... i need somthing that isnt sticky and will give it nice shine ...

Baby oil most of the time, I guess you can use almost any body lotion if you shoot quickly before it's absobed ^_^

depends on preference, I've heard PAM works well (spray on oil for cooking) never tried it though, I've heard it could look heavy so spray lightly. I've used baby oil, it works very well but you have to make sure the model has used baby oil without a reaction previously.

And be sure they are don't touch ANYTHING, specially your equipment ^_^

For a sweaty look remember glycerine (glycerol) is a proved technique, you can water it down a little to use in a spray bottle. ^_^

well the girl im shooting tonight is covered in tattos literally from neck to feet.. and after we do some body shots we are shooting in tub lol funny you should say that... so probably baby oil???

[FatCat]

Good Luck... and don't forget to post some shots! ^_^

but still need somthing thats not going to be sticky... shes going to be on floor

[FatCat]

Well then, you need to plan your shoots ahead of time, so you can oil her only in the places you actually need (did that sound right? ^_^) and start with the less oil to full body coverage.

If she is to be leaning onto something, dont put oil ot the parts of her body making contact with the support, if she will be leaning on her back put oil only on her front... and bring along a lot of papel towels ^_^

Baby oil is great mixed with water, around 40 parts water to one part oil will give great effects for tats and not look too oily.
