Problem: Article: If you’re skilled with a needle and thread, try this out yourself. You can even use fabric from an unwanted item of clothing like a skirt. Try matching the fabric to the shape of the neckline for an even more effortless look.  Pin the fabric onto the inside of the neckline while you're wearing it. Then take the dress off and sew the fabric along the neckline using a similar color thread to the dress. Cut the excess fabric, leaving about an inch of excess if you plan to hem it.  If you don’t feel confident sewing it yourself, go to a tailor and ask what they can do for you. Just because you want to cover your cleavage for a certain event doesn’t necessarily mean you wouldn’t opt for a more plunging neckline on another occasion.  Put the dress on and mark with a pencil where you want the snaps to go. Put one mark on top of the bottom layer of fabric and one on the underside of the top layer of fabric. Sew the snaps on by threading through the back side of the fabric where you placed your marks.  Take your dress from day to night by wearing it closed at the office and open when you go out. Sometimes, long straps make a dress hang too low on your torso, making it more revealing. By tightening the straps, you can add both modesty and comfort.  Cut the straps off the back, then cut off the excess, using the piece you removed on one strap to measure on the other strap. Sew each strap back in place with several knots, making sure it's not twisted before you start.  Avoid shortening the straps if your dress has a band or seam under the bust, as this could place it too high for a comfortable fit. Keep in mind that this will also make the armholes smaller. Make sure they’re at a comfortable position before changing anything.
Summary: Sew extra fabric into the dress. Add a snap closure to a wrap dress for multiple options. Shorten the straps of the dress to pull the neckline higher.

Problem: Article: Once the peppers have completely cooled, transfer them to a blender. Blend the peppers thoroughly, until they create a pureed liquid sauce. You can use a food processor if yours has a puree setting. Use a funnel to transfer the sauce into a glass jar with an air-tight lid. Seal the jar and store it in the refrigerator for 2 weeks. This will allow the sauce to steep. The seeds in the sauce will make it spicier as it steeps. After 2 weeks, remove the sauce from the refrigerator. Pour it through a fine strainer to remove any seeds that are still in the sauce. Make sure to place a bowl or jar under the strainer to catch the sauce as it drips through. Once the sauce has been strained, place it into a tightly sealed glass jar or plastic container and return it to the refrigerator.  Tabasco sauce, if stored in the fridge, can keep for over a year. Freezing isn't recommended, since it will alter the flavor and consistency of the sauce.
Summary: Puree the sauce in a blender. Pour the sauce into an air-tight container and refrigerate for 2 weeks. Strain the mixture. Return the sauce to the refrigerator. Finished.

Problem: Article: Have your model squeeze a some oil in their hands and rub oil over their entire body so their muscles look smooth and bold. The oiled up appearance will make the model glow, especially against a dark background. The oil will also help define highlights and lowlights in the image.  Avoid using too much oil. The amount will vary depending on the person's size and the type of oil, but you want the model to look realistic, not slippery. You can use baby oil or coconut oil. Using a spray bottle, lightly spray drops of water over the bodybuilder’s forehead, hair, and neck so it looks like they are sweating. To create an authentic image, you want the bodybuilder to look like they just finished a workout.  Avoid spraying too much water so it looks like they are wet. Just a few drops will work great! A little water also helps capture highlights. Take full-body shots while the bodybuilder flexes their chest, legs, arms, and back.  When photographing bodybuilders, you want to show off all their muscles in 1 image. Try out both serious and playful looks. Snap some shots with the model facing you directly, then try having them turn around. Ask them to pause as they turn, and take some pictures from different angles. Snap a diversity of images, capturing the bodybuilder’s chest, back, and side muscles. While you can steer the photo shoot and recommend poses and body placement, it is fun and productive to let the model organically pose and show off their body. Encourage them to smile and be themselves so their individual personality comes out on camera. Give your models some freedom, and you’ll get great shots. Perhaps they love their abs the most and want you to focus on abdominal shots. Try taking some photographs with work-out related items in addition to your full body shots. You can use small props like weights or dumbbells in your images.  For example, have your bodybuilder pose with a workout machine or standing in a stretching pose with a resistance band. You can also use things like sports balls or free weights. To capture the hard work and pure strength of bodybuilding, take pictures of your models in action. When you take action shots, you should take many imagines quickly in a row, and choose the shots that are most in focus.  For example, have your bodybuilder use a bench press, or take a picture of them while they run across the frame. Increase your aperture speed if your images look blurry. When photographing action shots, you can use up to 1/1000.
Summary:
Apply oil to your model’s entire body to make muscles stand out. Spray a few drops of water on their hair and face. Have your model flex their muscles. Take shots from the front, back, and sides. Encourage the model to be themselves in their poses. Use props in your image to add some interest. Try taking action shots to capture the bodybuilder in motion.
