To appraise the progress during a diet or a weight training program, taking bodybuilding pictures can be very important and handy.
One of the basics in taking bodybuilding pictures is to know the difference between overweight and normal by comparing the Body Mass Index (BMI) with the waist measurement. Below are a few techniques in taking bodybuilding pictures that will surely have your photographs look like those of a pro:

This is why body hair must be removed by shaving or trimming right before taking a bodybuilding picture.
2. The subject must not eat right before a bodybuilding picture is taken. Food can make the stomach look protruding or distended.
3. Before taking the bodybuilding picture, a short workout should encourage blood circulation and increase muscle volume.
4. To highlight and emphasize the curves and sinews of the muscles in the arms, torso, and legs, a thin application of baby oil or cooking oil should be

Lighting
1. Blurry bodybuilding pictures can be avoided by placing the camera on a tripod or a steady surface for better leverage.
2. Contrasts in bodybuilding pictures are achieved by the proper positioning of lighting and shadow composition. Lights from the top will produce shadows on the bottom parts of the muscle while lights coming from the bottom will highlight your lower abs and make your chest muscles look slimmer.
3. Never ever use flash in taking bodybuilding pictures as this will ruin the
