One way to enhance it — depending on what your style is — are collapsible reflectors to bounce light from the window back into the hidden shadows of your frame. Sometimes, the shadows add to the sensuality of the finished photo.

Use Natural Light
Another way to make your photo beautiful and radiant is by having a completely lit backdrop of either natural sunlight or a well-lit location where the light is coming from the back. Using this technique, you’ll be able to show your body in the form of a shadow that reveals a captivating figure. Natural light offers some great conditions for shooting, especially if you want to capture a playful, clean mood.

You might want to add some filters to soften up a photo or make it sharper. Try top filters like VSCO and Snapseed and go to town! It’s not like your significant other doesn’t already know what you look like, but a near professionally edited photo goes a long way to spicing things up and making them interesting for Valentine’s Day.
