I figure you guys know

Im in the middle of a prop cycle.

I am doing a photo shoot for an advertisment for a magazine. (nothing too big but I want to look my best. Its big enough that someone may notice it and who knows. what might happen)
It is my first one

I was planning on getting a spray on tan and starving myself for 2 days. Little make-up on the abs, high lighting.

This is probly all wrong, or am I close?

I'm pretty sure that plan is a concoction for turning out flat on photo-shoot day.

But Fireguy will be able to clarify much better then myself! lol.

What's your current bf%? When is your photo shoot and what type of look are you going for? Unless you are under 10% I would not worry about looking flat or carbing up much as neither will have a visual impact.

Right now Im at 13.5% BF

I just want my abs to show a bit more, maybe get some extra vascularity.

I am looking pretty good now imo. Ive started leaning up on my cycle instead of bulking up. I was getting to much BF on my bulk. With my leaner diet I have been cutting BF and gaining weight slightly.

How long til your photo shoot?

2 weeks

Ewww....you can make some slight improvements but not going to be able to get lean enough for water manipulation to make much of a difference. I would NOT do any sort of carb up whatsoever. At that BF% it will just smooth you out. You can do cardio like a mad man and then dry out a bit but that's about it this late in the game.
