*mod mode*
Please remember we have a no nudity policy on the forums - post links (as have been done in this thread) not embedded images of such material

*killjoy mode*
Not everyone wants their nakied self posted all over the net If in doubt don't do it
You can always make up for it by simulating the poses with barbie dolls or something (I'm sure everyone will be just as eager to help out .

How about if i do some self portrait nudes, can i post them ? if so i will do some tomorrow night

Gary, please don't! I strongly urge you not to do that. ...on another thought: wtf?! Go for it, buddy!

Ok so I am going to have a photo shoot tomorrow with a girl and they are going to be naked.. Should I focus on one thing and shoot in black and white??

One thing? What is this "one thing?"

IMHO,

i bet she wants you to take pics of her cuz she wants you. Just a hunch. I wouldn't be too thrilled if my girl had some other dude take pics of her, even if it was "for me"

[jwbryson1]

A friend in college asked me to takes nude pics of her for her boyfriend, but alas it never happened. I didn't have a digital camera at the time (or a printer) and I could not figure out how to get them printed at the time.

Dammit.

Google bodyscapes/artistic nudes and then Google glamour nudes. One big difference you'll see is how lighting is used. And please, for the love of all things photographic, do not use a sheet as a backdrop and don't selective color your photos. Instant GWC neon light with a big red arrow pointing your way if you do that.

P.S. Did you draft up a model release and usage license? There's a current thread where a photographer is in hot water without the proper docs. Better to have something signed by the model stating she is freely allowing you to photograph her in her birthday suit.

Ok I will look those up and I know I will not use a sheet haha I have an actual back drop lol..
I have a photography contract saying she is allowing me to take pictures and that she can not sell them

I'm going to put "naked" in the title of all my posts from now on. 5 days, 86 replies and 1908 views

Pretty good response (not quite in the same league as a recent someone that we shall not mention) ... but a worthy challenger.

"tasteful nude" just means well lit soft porn.

I totally disagree. Nudity does not equal porn. Not even soft porn. There are a lot of factors that differ between artistic nudes and pornography.

Until more so-called "art photographers" take photographs of 1) men and 2) models with bodies that reflect real people, and not sexually idealized forms within the cultural definitions of the time period - I am unconvinced.

It's out there, don't get me wrong. But I just don't buy the whole "it's art" line without appealing to tradition.

That's like taking a picture of a Minivan and saying it's as artistic as a picture of a Ferrari

^^ comparing women to cars? I could not think of a better way to illustrate my point ...

It's terrible when people compare a woman to a Ferrari. A Ferrari is much cheaper, easier to maintain and more fun.
