Q. Vaseline photo technique

Asked by R Pike (K=1242) on 8/20/2007

This is a pretty random question and I might be pushing my luck here but anyway here goes... I was watching Americas next top model last night (series 5) and they did this very basic photo shoot using vaseline on the models, the photos were really amazing. They were b&w headshots taken outdoors with all natural light and a black sheet in the background. The skin looked so soft like satin. I wish I had an example to show. Anyway if anyone saw it or knows that technique I would love to hear about it :)

I have heard of that before, it is fairly standard to use on models in photography. But that is about all I can tell you.

Sorry... vaseline on the lense, or vaseline on the models?

Vaseline on the models... makes them "shine". Vaseline on the lens gives you an in-camera Gaussian blur.

...and a heckuva mess on your lense, I'm guessing...
