Why I shoot nudes.
Jul 02 12 05:41 pm Link yep Jul 02 12 05:43 pm Link Interesting analogy. Jul 02 12 05:46 pm Link Nice Jul 02 12 05:47 pm Link Lol! Jul 02 12 05:49 pm Link Jul 02 12 05:53 pm Link sgnr photo wrote: Yep, works for me! Jul 02 12 05:54 pm Link Sounds about right. The best way to ruin a photo of a hot girl is to put clothes on her, IMHO. Jul 02 12 05:54 pm Link Jul 02 12 05:56 pm Link Wye wrote: Well, I would go with beautiful woman, but pretty much. Jul 02 12 05:56 pm Link Kind of a reverse analogy, since you're looking to photograph where the sun doesn't shine...

Jul 02 12 06:00 pm Link and 90% of my nude models are in sunlight Jul 02 12 06:17 pm Link I love this analogy Jul 02 12 06:23 pm Link If a picture is worth 1,000 words, those 2 pictures say it all. Great analogy Jul 02 12 07:03 pm Link Some seek a bit of mystery ... clothing can make excellent perspectives ... Each to his or her own I guess. Jul 02 12 08:48 pm Link I just do it for the nekkid chicks. Jul 02 12 08:50 pm Link Tom deL wrote: Well, I shoot clothed models as well, but no one seems to question that. At least, no one other than models who don't want to pose other than nude. Jul 03 12 09:23 am Link Why shouldn't you shoot nudes? I've always loved your work.1 Jul 03 12 09:39 am Link Tom deL wrote: Not to get too far away from the topic, but part of the problem of nude vs. clothed is what what are you taking a picture of? If you put a beautiful dress on a beautiful woman, 9 times out of 10, the picture is ultimately of the dress, whereas the nude picture is of the woman. Similarly, if you cloth her in "a bit of mystery" the picture becomes about the mystery. Jul 03 12 10:25 am Link Jul 03 12 10:49 am Link Great analogy. Jul 03 12 12:51 pm Link love it Jul 03 12 01:37 pm Link ei Total Productions wrote: Thank you. Jul 03 12 03:57 pm Link I always imagined your response to "Why I shoot nudes" would be, because "Art of the Senior Portrait" Photography wouldn't be nearly as interesting. Jul 03 12 04:03 pm Link Ok.. I can agree with that.. Jul 03 12 04:03 pm Link I can dig it!!! Jul 03 12 04:04 pm Link Art of the nude wrote: But couldn't this be used to argue the opposite? The first image is a fine sunset. But that second obstructed image REALLY makes me want to stare and analyze and imagine what's behind there. Jul 03 12 04:05 pm Link In my case, I keep shooting and suddenly they start taking their clothes off. It's not my fault..

Aside from the fact that you always leave SOMETHING to the imagination, that assumes the goal is sexiness. But it isn't, for me. Jul 03 12 06:02 pm Link But... The pictures have WORDS. Kinda cheating Jul 03 12 06:12 pm Link May I steal this idea, but instead of an overlay of the bikini, I'd like to put a fence there to block the sun?

Jul 03 12 07:10 pm Link I do it for the beauty and MYSTERY a woman poseses. Don't have to see it all to be sensuous, in fact, that kind of ruins it for me. Jul 03 12 09:52 pm Link |
