What picture style setting make model's legs best looking?

If you want the model to look her best, shoot in raw and adjust the image in post.

When the model is wearing miniskirt, her legs are important part of the image. If her legs're good looking in the picture, the picture will be more successful.

And what picture style setting (and another setting) make model's legs best looking?

As always, lighting and posing are the most important factors. No different than any other portraiture.

Nothing's as simple as camera settings.

You have much to learn about those factors, and your question would be better posed to the accomplished artists in this forum's Glamour section.

Lighting & Post Processing.

Doesn't matter what picture style you use, you should be shooting RAW for this.

Very best,

Shouldn't it be "stocking style" in the question?

As others have said, lighting and posing are far more important than choice of an arbitrary picture style. Also important is that the model isn't cold, as not only do you risk "goosebumps", the models legs can take on a patchy "corned beef" look, which can be tricky to deal with in post.

For best control over the skin tone, you really need to be using raw and not jpegs, so picture styles are irrelevant.

This ^^^.

But while there if you see an image you like see if you can do a download. I find images that come from Flickr are often easiest. My point is many will have the full EXIF intact and although not necessarily representative of your final result, it may give you a starting point.

Keep in mind as well you have the ability to do some custom styles and put them on the camera. As others have said RAW will give you the best flexibility.

Go here as well for some additional Canon styles. The one called "Studio Portrait" may fulfill your needs and can likely be installed in your camera or applied in postvto a RAW image.

Some sample images might help us, help you.

Are you using DPP or an Adobe editor? I'm getting more used to Adobe Standard these days. I find the skin tones are pretty natural.

As far as DPP there is quite a difference in opinions I have read about. Some people feel Standard has too much pop and have referred to it as clown colours. It has does it's place when shooting colourful items.

A lot of people like to shoot neutral and PP later but I find it too bland so when I used DPP I shot faithful. I found it to be a nice balance between Standard and Neutral. Fortunately Canon's skin tones are very good and you can't go wrong with any 3. There are some personal preferences regarding the other colours in the frame.

It is pretty easy if you shoot in RAW because you can pick each style, edit to taste and print all 3 styles and get some feedback from other people.

Also stand on a chair. I find mini skirts can over expose when shooting too low

True. But shooting in the Raw pretty much guarantees it.

Are the Standard and Neutral picture style good for model's legs? (when model's wearing miniskirt)

I would have thought "portrait" would be best as it is supposed to give good skin tones. However, I am guessing here as I never use them. If you really want to know which you like best (and it is a personal, subjective, decision so somebody else's recommendation may not be the one you prefer) then do some shots in raw. Then you can load them into DPP, pick one and just click through all the different picture styles and see what they do and which you like best. Then you can simply select all the images you took and batch process them all to jpegs, using that picture style. It will only add a few minutes to your workflow, then you can go and do something else while it converts all your images to jpeg.
