Naked shoot

Conduct yourself in a professional manner and you don't need an escort but I would strongly recommend a model release and usage license (two separate forms). The releases protect all parties and spells out how the images will be used, where they can be displayed, etc. I've done clothed shoots with no release but I would never do a nude/ implied shoot without one. I recommend using some Google-fu on artistic nude images for ideas. Lastly, how you communicate to the model her posing is critical. Think about how you want her to pose and communicate in a way that doesn't make you come across as a creep.
 
Professionalism is the key, make sure all the legal issues are in order. As far as the photos themselves go, I do think that in most cases artistically shot nudes are most effective when done in black and white. Now if it's not so artsy, it doesn't matter so much. I would also suggest that less is more in many cases. If you focus on the lines of the model's body and how the light strikes than as opposed to any particular part of the anatomy, you should come away with some really nice shots.

Ok thank you:) I will make sure to have legal papers and I communicate with my model very well

What do you mean focus on one thing? I would shoot in color then convert. If you shoot raw the raw image will still be in color.

I was reading an article about shooting a naked girl and it said focus on a certain part of her body.. Ok I will shoot in raw then..


How about breasts and make sure you post tomorrow, Try some body sculpturing
Focus on arse (fanny for US) http://gsgary.smugmug.com/photos/i-8TT9cFF/0/L/i-8TT9cFF-L.jpg

Great shots from your smugmug account. I love the lighting, especially in the second one.
 
why is this such a big thing? I think you all are making too much out of this. Plenty of photographers have nude models. What's the big deal?
 
"tasteful nude" just means well lit soft porn.


Are you serious? All the great masters from the Impressionist period were doing soft porn? Jeesh, grow the hell up! We had nude models in art class...when I was a teenager. Is there anything more beautiful than the human form? You better consider your answer carefully!
 
I was wondering when someone was going there^^^^^^^

"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.
