Creativity in a Shibari Photoshoot

Whereas a Shibari scene is a more immediate and intimate experience, a Shibari photoshoot is, in the end, a product to be shown to others. This means that it has to be appealing for people other than the original participants. By increasing creativity in a Shibari photoshoot, you can end up with a product that is more appealing for your target audience.

First of all, and this might be the most important element of a Shibari photoshoot, you must make sure to use high quality equipment. Both the camera and the lightning equipment must be first class. Otherwise, you will get blurry pictures that no one will enjoy. Make sure that you can take high quality, well-lit photographs with whatever equipment you have in hand. You should also have an editing program available. Don´t worry, you don’t have to pay a license, there are plenty of free software options available.

Second, try to find and original angle. As you can see by surfing the web, there are literally thousand of Shibari images available. That’s the bad news. The good news is that they all look pretty much the same. This means that if you do something that is original, your chances of getting noticed increase.

Finally, since a photoshoot is, in the end, a product, you should make sure that participants in the scene look good on camera. Some people, even though skillful, might not be photogenic enough. You can also consider using models, who always look more attractive than ordinary people. If you want them to use lingerie or do the scene naked, make sure to include that on their contract. Just as you need consent when you do a scene, you need to put all working conditions in writing, when you hire someone.

Follow these advices and you will add enough creativity in a Shibari photoshoot to makeit a great experience.
