Wetlook World Forum

If the purpose of your pictures is just to supply a big number of wetlook pictures, there is nothing wrong with the lighting; but if you want to create exiting results, which you can watch again and again without being tired, the photographical quality needs to be improved. Many wetlook pictures are done the following way.

1) You find a good looking girl, which is willing to get wet for money - she don't even need to like it.

2) You find the nearest beach where she can get wet.

3) You press the shutter without the slightest attention to lighting and disturbing objects.

However, it may also be done the following way:

1) You find a beautiful location and the time at the day where the lighting is just perfect.

2) You notice the colors at that time - for example orange if the location is perfect at sunset.

3) You find a model, who really likes it, and dress her in matching colors (orange) to limit the color palette.

4) You work with fill-flash, reflecters etc. to get the perfect result.

5) You don't slant the camera.

You see the difference.

Lighting is always a question about whether you want quality or quantity. It is difficult to explain, but look at the pictures from Edwin R ( for example http://forum.minxmovies.com/showc.cgi?37731 ) and Sam Haskins (not wetlook, but one of the best girl photographers ever).

PS. Have you ever seen a slanted painting?
