Cleavage
Does anyone know any techniques to add cleavage to someone without much? I would like to know a verity of different techniques. Mar 26 06 01:48 pm Link Usually, this requires a doctor of some sort. Remember this motto: You're a photographer, not a magician. Mar 26 06 01:50 pm Link contour powder in the cleavage area (hollow), highlight the breast above the cleavage. Remember dark recedes, you make cleavage like you would if you were painting it on a canvas. Mar 26 06 01:52 pm Link 1) put on weight 2) cross your arms EDIT - 3) I am told that massaging them may help; enquire for my reasonable rate$!!! GWC! Mar 26 06 01:53 pm Link GWC wrote: LOL! Mar 26 06 01:54 pm Link Apparently breasts swell by 20 - 25 % on stimulation ;-) Mar 26 06 01:57 pm Link gaffers tape, contour powder, wonder bra and Photoshop... I have used these 'tools', in various forms, with a little success. I would avoid manual stimulation, unless your insurance premiums are paid up... Good luck!

Mar 26 06 02:12 pm Link I guess it would depend on what the model is wearing, but I use that natural bra-the silicone inserts the you put double stick tape on the inside. It really helped me in the majority of my shoots. the further apart you put them, the more cleavage you get. Really good for open back pieces, spandex materials, etc. Mar 26 06 02:42 pm Link John Jebbia wrote: Yes you did. Admit it... you want to be a stylist when you grow up. LOL!

Mar 26 06 03:18 pm Link I've had some success with gaffers tape, this girl was a very small A cup and the vest was making it worse, a little push from the side helped quite a bit.  Mar 26 06 03:21 pm Link Narvell wrote: I dont know if they can be washed as I have never used them , this is kinda a personal item you might be able to dissinfect them using a dissinfecting spray, but I would read the package before you invest in them if you cant wash em they might be a very pricy gift to give to a model. Mar 26 06 04:35 pm Link I'm not a Stylist either, but a good photographer should have a few tricks of his/her own. I have even had help from a food stylist (glycerine)... also, a photographer should be able to use proper lighting to enhance shadows. Mar 26 06 04:36 pm Link Deadly Design Make-up wrote: Yeah... I'm going to try the tape thing and hope the makeup artist I work with know contouring with the makeup. The one I worked with last night did and it really made a difference visually. Mar 26 06 05:06 pm Link Excilent make sure you let us know how it turns out  Mar 26 06 05:15 pm Link The chicken cutlets. Every stylist I know has a pair so there must be a way to clean them. And the contouring/highlighting always works well. Mar 26 06 09:25 pm Link Narvell wrote: When I was in school, we tried to convince the girls that swallowing would do the trick. Mar 26 06 09:31 pm Link if you're looking for any post tricks via photoshop, the reverse-pinch method can work wonders. Use the lasso tool with say a 10px feather and Filter -> Distort -> Pinch Set to -15% give/take and repeat as needed. When lasso'ing remember to lasso the countours of the body and do the filter effect multiple times with varying strength to build definition. email me if you need help Mar 26 06 09:40 pm Link Someone once told me that if you punch a womans breast hard enough, they will swell at least 2 cup sizes! Mar 26 06 09:45 pm Link Stephen Dawson wrote: AH! That caught me by surprise... Mar 26 06 10:04 pm Link Different models require different things done to enhance cleavage. The variations extend to more than just cup size. Some breast tissue extends under the airpits, some extend up to the collar bone, others start at the second, third and even fourth rib. I have watched MUAs go to work at beauty pageants. I have seen them use tape attached under the shoulder blade and wrapped around to the front either under the swell of the breast, puleed tight and upwards; taped from one side of the breast and across the nipples to the other; and tape starting underneath the flap and ending at the shoulder. Some tuck and tape cotton wads under the flap of the breast to get lift or use gel packs. I saw one MUA cut, shape and wrap chicken wire in cloth to under-form a girl's breasts. I have seen them try different techniques on the same girl until they got the look that was required. Sometimes it takes time, experimentation and patience...patience especially on the part of the model whose body is being fiddled with. Under bright lights and even brighter flash bulbs, push-up bras tend to show through or cast nasty, unflattering lines and shadows. Most models will go topless for this reason, hence more of a need for for taping and under-breast boosters. Well toned and blended make-up, faded in to make a shadow line works well as a finishing touch after the other techniques are applied. One caveat: make up shadows on moving/jiggling parts can look really screwy during dance numbers or sequences where the breasts tend to move. Mar 26 06 10:11 pm Link They're a rubber like material so you can clean them with soap and water or alcohol (if on a shoot and you have to switch between models) etc. They're only $20-you can find them at Wal-Mart or CVS, Walgreens etc. Mar 27 06 01:23 pm Link I use shoulder pads. They have a curve that is like an actual breast and you don't have to adjust the size individually especially if you purchase a set. I found a variety of sizes at a local sewing store and purchased them in black and white. T. Mar 27 06 01:57 pm Link T.Alexander wrote: Great idea. I have a whole bag of them in different natural shades that I can use. I got them at a fabric shop that was closing but I never used them. Wow... Great (Free) idea! Mar 27 06 05:26 pm Link Wait a couple of years and see if they mature ??? Mar 27 06 05:31 pm Link The funny thing is I once saw a man use makeup to create cleavage at a Halloween party because he was dressed as a French Maid. He had good pecs to begin with, but he used makeup to enhance them. So, I know it is possible, but unfortunately, I don't know exactly how he did it. Mar 27 06 06:02 pm Link Have a baby, then breast feed for 3 years. Mar 27 06 06:37 pm Link Come on, every high school girl knows you put some pudding or jello in a small water balloon, to make bigger boobs! Or at least all of my male friends who enjoy crossdressing at Halloween...lol. Mar 30 06 08:34 pm Link How can I achieve some clevage on the model in the picture I just uploaded in my port?...I'm thinking of getting the gaffers tape & the cutlets ^_^ but I don't know if it would work she is so small. -Liz Apr 12 06 10:54 pm Link Some of the photographer's perverted remarks on this topic are starting to irritate me! Apr 13 06 04:35 am Link AnnieStyle wrote: Starting?? You're better than me. Apr 13 06 10:13 am Link i'm agreeing with the cutlets. I also wear Victoria's Secret's very sexy bra, that coupled with the cutlets, unbeatable..... https://img2.modelmayhem.com/050908/10/ … 4cc265.jpg me on right with red hair (bra at work) Apr 13 06 01:44 pm Link SoVi-Southern Vitality wrote: Are these the chicken cutlets you're referring to? I need to get some of those and some of this gaffers tape (where can I find that as well?) too! These forums are so great!!! Apr 13 06 01:49 pm Link Cleavage is stupid and unnatural looking.

Apr 13 06 01:54 pm Link A Photographer's 2 cents - Lighting. A combination of strong sidelighting and a high contrast lighting ratio bring out contours, and emphasize a three dimensional image. If properly done then such lighting can increase apparent cup sizes up to a size and a half. However, unless you seek a mysterous look on the face, it can come with a visual price. Alternatively, turn the face toward the main light, or crop the face. With a profile of the face it can produce a strong and flattering image. Photography comes from a Greek word meaning "painting with light." Some wonderfully skilled MUAs are masters at painting on the canvas of the model. Just as an MUA can make all the difference in enhancing the images from a shoot, the photographer has to also make his or her contributions with lighting and posing.
