Problem: Article: Set up your light sources in a way that highlights and accentuates your model's natural features. This might be a soft, diffuse sunset glow if you're shooting in a cornfield, or a more stark balance of light and shadows for high-contrast black and white photos. Your lighting should work in conjunction with your model's form and pose to produce the most aesthetically-pleasing images possible. When possible, rely on natural light sources, such as the sun, moon and firelight. It has a much warmer, more immediate feel than artificial light (such as studio lights and reflectors), especially for daytime shoots. Move your light sources around and try out different brightness levels, placements and orientations until you arrive at the look you want. Unless your photography is known for a distinctive visual style, don't be afraid to try out different compositions, filters, types of lighting, etc. Every model will be uniqueevery shoot should therefore be a little bit different. Be thoughtful in your approach and take the time to capture every nuance of your subject, location, lighting and action. Mix it up. Include a few black and white photos in a vibrantly colored set or find ways to incorporate other thematic elements into the shoot. See what you can do to enhance the look of your photos (without altering them too much) during the editing phase. There's no need to stick too rigidly to predetermined plans. Though it's important to have a specific vision in mind, improvising a bit can help keep your shoot fresh and exciting. Sometimes the best ideas start as accidents when you're just playing around. You never know when you might achieve a breakthrough by simply letting things unfold on their own. Instead of running through the poses you decided on before the shoot, allow your model to move and position herself freely, and capture everything you can. You can always delete unusable shots later, but you might end up with one or two really special shots. Shake up a lifeless shoot by finding tasteful ways to hide or tease your subject's form. Use minimalistic accessories (like scarves or jewelry) to cover sensitive parts of the body, or shoot your model from unorthodox angles or interacting with their environment from a three-dimensional perspective. The point of nude photography isn't always to show the body in plain detail. Sometimes, less is more. In the end, your goal is to make a powerful statement. Don't restrain your creativity in finding unique ways to shoot the human body. Avoid graphic depictions of the genitals. This is leaving the domain of art and entering that of pornography.
Summary: Put special emphasis on lighting. Experiment with different techniques. Be spontaneous. Don't feel like you have to show too much.

Problem: Article: If a mixed number is a b/c then the equation used to convert it to an improper fraction is (ac+b)/c. In this equation: A is the whole number. B is the numerator (the top portion of the fraction). C is the denominator (the bottom portion of the fraction). BEDMAS or PEDMAS dictates that you must first address the numbers in parentheses. Since multiplication and division come first, you will first multiply ac. You will then add b, since that figure is also within parentheses. Finally, you will divide by c, or use c as the new denominator. P/BEDMAS stands for parentheses/brackets, exponents, multiply or divide, and add or subtract. Take the mixed number 1 for example: a = 1, b = 2, and c = 3. Multiply ac, which in this example is 3 x 1 = 3. You now know the product of ac = 3, so now it's time to add b = 2: 3 + 2 = 5. This sum, 5, is the new numerator of your improper fraction. Remember that the denominator (c = 3) remains the same from the original fraction, and the new numerator is 5. The improper fraction converted from the original mixed number, therefore, is 5/3. To be certain, you can always double check your math by running the numbers again, or verifying the answer using an online calculator. The simplest form is the smallest and easiest way to represent a fraction. To reduce a fraction to its simplest form, determine if the numerator and denominator have common factors. If they do, select the highest one and divide the numerator and denominator by that number. For instance, in the fraction 9/42, the greatest common factor is 3. Divide both the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor to get the fraction's simplest form: 9 3 / 42 3 = 3/14
Summary:
Learn the basic equation. Remember the order of operations. Multiply the whole number and the denominator. Add the numerator to the product. Rewrite the improper fraction with the new numerator. Check your work. Reduce the fraction to its simplest form if necessary.
