In hot summer, many people love to spend their holidays at the seaside, where there are vast seas, rough waves, all kinds of rocks and colorful swimsuit tourists.

A good swimsuit photo should not only show the curvy beauty of human body shape, but also show the texture of human skin color. Such as graceful female body, handsome and plump male body. Most swimsuit photos are busts and full-length portraits. When shooting, the subject's posture should not be rigid, and he can sit, stand, turn, lie on his side, lie on his back, etc. Also pay attention to the bathing environment, such as parasols, swimming crowds, drifting white clouds and sparkling water.
