Introduction
There’s little more pleasing to the human eye than seeing a fellow in their natural self, sans clothes. Yet, there are skeptics out there who have given a negative connotation to nudity.
Against that backdrop, the objective of this piece is to showcase nudity as an art form. We will look at 10 of the finest nude art posing hacks that you could ever think of.

Ideation While Nude Art Posing
The key to tremendous nude art posing is to plan and ideate well. Right in the beginning, you must have clear and definite answers to such questions, such as who you will be shooting with, where you will shoot, etc.
Remember that, just like any other shoot, a nude art photoshoot planned and conceived appropriately in advance always produces the best results.
A well-planned nude art photoshoot invariably comes off well.
Signing A Model For Nude Art Posing
A successful nude art photoshoot requires appropriately signing a model. This mainly involves transparency about the nude photoshoot being planned with the concerned model(s).
Selection
The first step in signing a model is to follow the selection process suitably. Being clear about the purpose of the shoot will make a big difference. Equally important is the target audience to which the node is meant.
Legalities
Clear and definitive legal formalities are required while undertaking a nude art photoshoot. Some callous photographers tend to ignore this vital step. Don’t make that mistake.
Comfort
Your nude art photoshoot will fail if your model is uncomfortable. Therefore, you must ensure the comfort of your models before commencing the photo shoot.
Nude Art Posing Hacks
In this section, we examine various nude art poses. These are essentially the posing hacks referred to in the title of this piece.
Posing Hack #1 – Silhouette For Artistic Nude Pose

During your nude art photo shoot, try to capture a silhouette of your model. This will create an element of mystique that viewers will especially find captivating. Like a nude art photo, a profile photo has an unmistakable appeal.
Posing Hack #2 – Showing only a part of your model

You don’t have to show your model in its entirety in every photo. Instead, you can choose only to show a specific part, which adds to the appeal of your pictures.
This is an example of a monochromatic shadow image with a remarkable aura despite showing nothing to identify the model.
Posing Hack #3 – Focus on the face

An incredible nude art posing hack involves focusing on the face, even in an image where the model is nude. See the image above for a perspective.
The model is nude in the above image, but everything else is blurred out except her face.
Remember that nudes especially come out well where the model has their eyes set on the camera – onlookers get the feeling that the model is looking at them!
So, use this artistic nude pose hack as frequently as possible.
Posing Hack #4 – Two’s company!

If you have multiple models on location, how about involving them in your photos? If not in all your images, you can consider doing so in at least some of them.
As we mentioned previously, a lot will depend on the purpose of your shoot.
Getting two models together, possibly involved with each other somehow—like in the image above—further adds to your photos’ appeal.
Posing Hack #5 – Props For Fine Art Nude Poses

Your nudes are easily accentuated when you feature your models with props.
Again, as has already been emphasized above, a lot will depend on the purpose of your shoot. For instance, if it is to push a brand or a product, models could feature the business logo or a particular product if circumstances permit.
A particular business logo or product could easily replace the clock in the above image.
Posing Hack #6 – Partially Undressed

A nude art photoshoot doesn’t necessarily imply a fully nude model. Sometimes, the sensual appeal of a partially nude individual is more significant than one who has left nothing to the imagination!
For perspective, see the image above.
Despite being only partially naked, the model above has a distinct and intense sensual appeal.
Posing Hack #7 – It is not only about Female Nude Art Poses!

Nude art is not always about naked women alone. Men can be just as alluring – if not more, in their nude form. See the image above for a perspective, despite the man being partially nude only – in line with our previous hack. Yes, be creative while suggesting female nude art poses!
Posing Hack #8 – NEVER hesitate to use Overlays & Effects

Overlays & effects always have a profound impact on all kinds of photos. Nudes are no different, so feel free to use them in your nude art. The overlay used in the above image has further heightened its appeal.
Posing Hack #9 – Outdoor shoots

Nude art should not compel you to shoot indoors only. Remember that you can make full use of the outdoors whenever circumstances permit.
Moreover, out in the open, you could experiment with fine art nude poses and props to a possibly greater extent! You can also try a unique outdoor nude pose in a lotus pond.
Posing Hack #10 – Full body poses against a dark backdrop

Nude art comes out very well with whole-body poses against a dark background. Above, we share an example that highlights this pose hack exceptionally well. Image courtesy Pixabay.
Nude photography lighting plays an essential role in this posing hack. You must know the right light and angle to use.
Commercialization
So, now you have great insight into nude posing tips.
But what about commercializing your efforts? How do you monetize the hard work that you have put in?
Below, we share three simplistic tips.
Pre-arranged
Nude art photoshoots work out best where commercialization is pre-arranged. Let’s say a brand or individual has contracted you for such a shoot, with payment terms chalked out in advance.
Stock Photo Sites
As you can see above, the images we have used are from Pixabay, where pictures are available – even for commercial use, without incurring any expense.
There are other sites such as Shutterstock or iStock Photo where you can have your nude art available to the world for a FEE & not for FREE.
Your Website
An excellent commercialization option is your website, where users can download your nude art photos for a fee.
The difference in the case of stock photos cited in the previous point is that you can set the payment terms here. This is especially relevant since you get ALL the money customers pay; stock photo sites typically have a revenue-sharing arrangement, where customer payouts are split with the locations.
