"Picturing Your Best"

let's take photos

Great "pictures".

What new t-girl doesn't dream of having a few of "those"? *Smile*

I'll be the first to admit - I'm no expert at taking "good photos". I know nothing about "professional" photography. However, I've taken 1,000's of pictures and gotten exceedingly adept at what not to do. *Laugh*

My goal is to keep you from repeating my mistakes and help you end up with a decent arsenal of photos you'll be proud to call "your own".

"Sound like fun?"

Good - let's get to it.

The "importance" of taking pictures
Deciding whether or not to post "nude" photos

the "importance" of taking pictures

My grandfather used to always say: "You never know how you look, till you get your picture took". *Smile* I have found this wisdom to be true - sometimes painfully so - when it comes to my "t-life".

Unfortunately I never took many photos before getting active on-line. This was a capital mistake! "Taking photos" - is very important to your femme development - for a variety of reasons.

First - pictures serve as an accurate "reminder" - of how far you've "come".

If you've ever exercised with the help of a personal trainer, you already know what I'm about to say. It's crucial to keep a detailed record "of your progress" - as you take small steps - towards bigger goals. Without these "records" you won't recall the often monumental progress made.

Bodybuilders measure their loins every day to evaluate "improvements". Why? It's so easy to get "caught up" in seeing what you haven't achieved, versus appreciating what you have.

We t-girls can do the exact same thing. Reviewing "past pictures" will always act as a reminder of the progress you're making. You'll also appreciate looking at your "younger" body - in the years ahead.

photography as a tool

Photography's greatest "benefit" - is found in what it "tells" you - about your look. A few close up shots will "measure" your make up skills - identify where you need to improve - or what you want to "repeat" in the future.

I used to take photos "before" I went out each night - just to "check" my look. More than once - it caused me to subsequently change my ensemble for the evening. Believe me - I was "glad" - of that. Better for my camera to "spot" mistakes - than some other smart-ass tranny. *Grin*

to "nude" - or not to "nude"

Food for thought...

You'll be a rare t-girl indeed - if you don't begin your photographic "journey" with desires for taking a few hot "nude" photos of yourself. You might envision taking such photos "with others". I once felt this way - and so did many people I know.

There's nothing wrong with "that". Most every gal has a large set of nude photos of "herself". The "potential" problem can occur when you decide to share these intimate portraits "on-line".

The internet is very unique. It reaches "the world" - in seconds. Likewise, on-line "images" - never go away.

Over time - you're femme "persona" - will begin to develop a life "of her own". You need "time" to determine if pornography - needs to be a part of the persona "she" projects.

If you've ever met "me" - you know - I'm not exactly "shy". *Laugh* Likewise, I'm not ashamed of my "body". I feel the human body is "a work of art". And I believe a transsexual's body represents the highest form "of that art".

Lots of my good friends "pose nude". A few even make a decent "living" doing so. I thinks that's perfectly cool. However...I have "other" friends that now regret allowing early photos - that included nudity - to be posted on the web.

I'll offer you this challenge. Try shooting photos where you're "almost" nude - but not quite. Lowering your panties where you "almost" show - can sizzle. *Smile* You'll be amazed how "hot" these images can be - and still maintain a "degree" of modesty.

Why not try "waiting" - if just for awhile? Let the "woman" - versus the girl - decide for you. Besides, you'll only get prettier - with time...and your hot photos will look that much better.

Deal?

Good girl! *Smile*

the good news

Ready for some great news? Taking good photo's is a "learned" skill - that's not - all about beauty.

Trust me, I know.

When I first started taking pictures, I did just about everything wrong. It showed! *Laugh*

In this section - I'll share every "little trick" I learned - both through research and "accident". Hopefully, the "result" - will be a few ideas you can use to produce better pictures of your lovely "mug".

Let's get to it!
