Lighting to Accentuate Breasts.

[doidinho]

Lets hear everyones tips/ tricks. My main model (wife) has small breasts and she loves it when they appear larger and rounder than they are. I'm sure there are some tried and tue lighting techniques.

One way round it that does not involve lighting is to use the Liquify filter in Photoshop to make breasts look bigger.

Cross or side lighting will accentuate the breasts, but the risk is that it will also bring out skin imperfections. Accenting the bust line is usually more a matter of the pose than it is the lighting.

While this sounds bad to some, there is actually a very good video on YT that shows how this is tastefully (and very acceptably) done. At first, I thought it was cheesy until the guy really did a truly professional job. Sorry, but I don't remember the title. It's worth looking up though.

Whilst this would be fine with a hired model it probably wouldn't be the best to do it with your wife/gf! I bet a lot of people would take it as confirmation that you thought they were small etc etc.

I haven't made a conscious attempt. The thread resulted as a result of one of Mark's comments in the photo sharing forum and my wifes enlightenment when her breasts appeared larger than normal in one of our shoots.

Small breasts are small breasts, what's the problem?

I guess people just have a tendency to want what they don't already have.

Turn the body away from the light. This will create shadows. Kicker lights will also help.

I had a model with PERECT 34D breasts on a 5'8" 112lb frame and she hated her breasts.

hgeaps of tips and tricks here ;-).

My wife also has small ones.. (ssshhh) But, some side lighting or turning body away form the light, open or see though tops that fall correctly can do well. try different things and different looks, hunched shoulders will make them look a little bigger but can give a not so nice shape, depending if you like a 'kate moss' look. Shoulders back gives a great look I think. small and perky ;-)

try not to shoot straight on..

some like em hot, some dont;-)
