LOS ANGELES — Erotic photographer and adult industry veteran Michael Charles shows amateurs and pros alike how to shoot amazing photos in his new ebook, “Money Shots: The Insider’s Guide to Nude & Erotic Photography.” Weighing in at 165 pages and including dozens of images, “Money Shots” covers every aspect of the field of nude photography.
The book is much more than simply an academic discussion of the equipment and techniques required to take great nude shots. Drawing from more than a decade’s worth of experience in erotic and adult-themed photography, the book is written in an easy to read, conversational style and is filled with behind-the-scenes anecdotes.
Charles, a former fashion photographer whose stills have appeared in many adult magazines and websites including Barely Legal, Club and Swank, also goes over many considerations that are unique to the erotic photography business such as model releases, federal record keeping laws, and dealing with the occasional boyfriend or husband on set.
“There are a lot amateurs who’ve taken a topless photo or two of their girlfriends and wondered if they have what it takes to make a go of it as a professional photographer,” Charles said.
“In ‘Money Shots’, not only do I cover the technical aspects of shooting nudes, I also go over the steps necessary to succeed in the business, things like contacting buyers and negotiating prices for your work. For anyone looking to get started, this is definitely the book for them.
“However, ‘Money Shots’ will also be a very helpful tool for professional photographers interested in learning more about the specific art of shooting nudes. In the book, I cover many techniques that are unique to this type of photography and I share hundreds of insider tips and secrets,” he added.
The 50 chapters of “Money Shots” details every aspect of the world of nude and erotic photography. In addition, the book features 65 razor-sharp images that were chosen specifically to illustrate various photo techniques.
In addition to the book, the “Money Shots” package includes four free bonuses:
