One of the interesting side effects of recent self-isolation measures is that people seem to be getting hornier. Below, our best advice on how to take a great nude, whether or not you own a full-length mirror. Natural lighting is generally good, so if you have a room in your matchbox apartment that gets some sun in the afternoon, take advantage of it on your lunch break. If not, a well-placed desk lamp is very useful. My friend Jane suggests setting your light source up so it comes from a single angle, which means you can work more easily with shadows; Annabelle, another friend, recommends two different light sources for further fine-tuning. If you only have cool white light, try draping a thin colored scarf or blouse over it to change the tone.
