There’s something equally striking and sexy with milk bath photography that makes it perfect for boudoir, glamour, or fashion portraits. The opaque texture plus solid color of the milk in a tub creates such a compelling frame around your subject, and it places the focus right on their face and body. When composed and shot right, your final image can give off a dreamy vibe and story. Just make sure to fill the tub with the right amount of milk so that it doesn’t conceal too much of your subject. A plain, minimal milk bath is already alluring by itself, but you can even enhance it by adding more elements and decor to your shot. Take your milk bath image to the next level by adding in decor like flowers and shells for more texture, use strawberry milk instead of regular milk to increase the contrast with its pink tone, or try smoke to decrease the contrast and make it moody.

To get your ideas flowing, we collected some captivating milk bath portraits on 500px for you. Just a heads up—some of these portraits are NSFW. Scroll down, and get inspired!
