How to take a picture of a muscle male body?

Hello guys I've been working out for 1 year now and i can say I have a good body now, however whenever I try to take pictures of it, my muscles do not look as highlighted as I d like to, do you have any advice for illumination or angles to take a picture Calvin Klein style? Thank you, by the way i will use an Iphone 5 as camera and a lamp for illumination

Use a hard light source and light from your sides. This will cause the light to fall on your body at a low angle and this will ephasise texture and muscle definition.

You really need someone else to take it who has the gear and knowledge to shoot and light it properly.

Side light source and a bit of baby oil to bring out the curves… Not too much.

This link should help you understand how to light for the most drama of body and facial features.

It is to an advert, but the information contained in it should get you started

It is about the light. How about put some body oil on your muscles? It would be much more better on the photos.

Photoshop.

Little baby oil and a raking light source.

Take a pic with a light source directly above you

Frontal side and back

I agree with Jason. A light source from directly above you brings out the shadows on your pecs and abs and makes them look bigger and more defined. A hard shadow makes them look better.

  • Why does my body look so skinny when I take a picture but I'm fat? When I take a picture I look skinnier then I'm and I do have a belly but the camera doesn't show it why? I mean it's a good thing lol I'm just confused about it makes me look like a stick and I have the iphone 6 if that matters
  • Is it wrong for a male to get a white iPhone? I really like the new silver white iPhone but I've read on some blogs that people consider this to be feminine. I normally prefer black phones but I really just don't like the new space grey colour. So I really want the white and silver one, but my concern is will this de-masculinise me in any way?
  • I pulled a muscle in my lower arm? I played racquetball for a while, and a few minutes afterwards my lower arm started to hurt. It's my right arm and is mostly on the left side. It hurts even just typing like this on my iPhone. I think I pulled a muscle, so why are some things besides ibuprofen I could do to maybe help with the pain?
  • How to change male voice to female on call (iphone) or any? I need to talk to someone in female voice and if they call back also i need to do the same, i'm male, please be considerate in answering, no jokes please. I use iphone 4s. So is there any way, and it must be an on call live one, not just recorded and changing. Those who can explain please answer only. And please explain clearly and how to do that too
