Nude models with short hair
Hi! I am starting getting into the art nude kinda thing and am loving it. HOWEVER, I have yet to see other art nude models with short hair! Am I one of a few? Should I grow my hair out to fit with the industry? Show me photos of short haired nudes, any advice appreciated etc etc. Thankies very much, Cupcake x May 18 11 10:45 pm Link

May 18 11 10:50 pm Link I love short hair !!! May 18 11 10:55 pm Link I think nude models with short hair are SUPER sexy.

Even did some classic nude poses with a model that had a Mohawk. I liked the combo of classic style with modern hairstyle. There are some examples in my portfolio. May 18 11 11:01 pm Link The most important thing about hair, short or long,  is that it's healthy and that it fits your face like hers. Presently you definitely fit that description.

Me..I like long hair..but that's my own bias..I'll work with what ever I'm presneted IF the model is good enough. May 18 11 11:10 pm Link Hi Cupcake. Hun you have nothing to worry about. You look absolutely lovely as you are. Besides, in nude modeling especially artistic nudes, it's about the figure and how you express yourself with your form that is the focus in my opinion, not your hair. In many cases long hair models are asked to put their hair in a bun as to not distract from the contours and lines of the figure. My port examples of short hair body work, All 18+ of course; https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/1 … 8d90e5.jpg https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/1 … b107eb.jpg https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/1 … baee3a.jpg https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/1 … c2c99a.jpg semi short; https://photos.modelmayhem.com/photos/1 … 6c2b4f.jpg I personally have no preferences. May 18 11 11:23 pm Link May 19 11 04:45 am Link which hair? May 19 11 04:51 am Link May 19 11 05:58 am Link Take a look at my portfolio, my wife who is an experienced art and photography model has had short hair for about the past 10 years and has been chosen for some assignments specifically because of the short hair. I find that hair length doesn't make much difference for fine art nudes. I like to work with models having very long hair as well as those with short hair, it adds variety. May 19 11 06:08 am Link If I'm shooting general nudes, I wouldn't care if your hair was long or short as long as it fit your look. I only prefer long hair if I'm shooting commercial/fashion-ish type stuff. May 19 11 06:13 am Link Right here May 19 11 06:18 am Link I'm going to be a short-haired nude model by the end of next year. Or, well, I'm getting it cut into a mohawk, then eventually buzzed off with clippers. I have a cue of folk already lined up, who are excited to shoot after my hair is all cut off. May 19 11 06:54 am Link Short hair, long hair, to me it doesn't matter. It is all about getting the right pose for the shot you are trying to get. A good art nude model can bring the concept the photographer is trying to create to life. May 19 11 07:16 am Link Cupcake wrote: You can always wear a wig! May 19 11 08:20 am Link May 19 11 11:12 am Link Short hair is great. I looks great on women period. I personally like the 'spiked' or messy look in photos. And if everyone's comments aren't enough. Look at it this way, your not a candidate for the proverbial 'hair hanging over breasts' shot that has become so old it makes me want to puke. +100 for you ! May 19 11 11:22 am Link May 19 11 11:27 am Link I have modeled so long I have been hired with all kinds of hair. Shaved, short, med, long, straight, curly, braided... May 19 11 03:33 pm Link I have photographed a few with short hair. 18+ https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/21524370 https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/23092047 https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/22207006 https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/16686264 https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/18435825 https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/16686317 May 19 11 03:43 pm Link You have a wonderful, beautiful "Mia Farrow" (anyone remember her?) look to you. Don't change! I'd hire and paint you in a minute! May 19 11 03:46 pm Link May 19 11 03:49 pm Link May 19 11 03:49 pm Link Short punky hair looks much less predictable... less predictable = cool  Short hair with a great cut looks AMAZING! I love working with Models that have amazing short hair May 19 11 03:52 pm Link Short hair is awesome and there'll always be some fans, even in the art nude department May 19 11 03:58 pm Link MarianneRenoir wrote: but don't you agree that the majority of art nude photographers are looking to hire models with longer hair?

May 19 11 04:01 pm Link Cupcake wrote: i don't see how seeing photos of other models with short hair will help. it would make more sense, if you're interested in modeling professionally, to find out about your market. find photographers in your area (or out of your area) who hire nude models, and ask them what kind of models they're looking for, and if they prefer long or short hair. or, just look at their portfolios to see what kind of models they shoot. May 19 11 04:02 pm Link Short hair can be really amazing. I have short hair and model nude, it has never been a problem. When my hair was longer (almost shoulder length) I was always asked to move it away from my face or put it up in a bun. I spent a year growing it to that length and didn't book a lot of work during that time. I have since cut it and book work more consistently now. btw, I love your hair. May 19 11 04:05 pm Link dave wright phx wrote: Well, it's fairly obvious that there is a lot of demand for long hair and sometimes (especially for my acting) I do curse my short hair :b but it's a great asset in a way - comes in handy whenever someone's looking for something trendy or edgy... If my main focus/moneymaker was art nude I might think twice before cutting my hair but it isn't, and even then I still get some work in that field... I think my point is, the offer/demand ratio of short hair is pretty good so it works for me... May 19 11 04:09 pm Link I know a few art models with short hair. I definitely prefer long hair myself. I don't think I'd likely book a bald model, at least for my current project. I know you're not bald But someone mentioned it.May 19 11 04:12 pm Link dave wright phx wrote: I don't think so... maybe if it's glamour oriented nude work but not art nudes.
