A Question for Nude Models
aquarelle wrote: I was young and needed the money. Dec 14 12 09:34 pm Link Started modeling in the nude at art classes, spread to photo from that, now have expanded to some acting (stage and movie) and even get to wear clothes with the stage & movie stuff sometimes. My model work is still pretty much full nude or real close to it. Dec 15 12 01:21 pm Link Eurocat wrote: Great, story, Eurocat. I've been enjoying your recent posts and comments. I do hope we'll have the chance to work together next time you're in Chicago! Dec 15 12 03:14 pm Link I actually started out doing nudes... and fell in love with it! So art nudes are all do. Strangely (or not) enough, I feel more comfortable modeling naked than when asked to wear panties, swimsuits, or clothes. Jan 20 13 08:53 pm Link i was a 19 y/o exhibitionist with a hatred of more traditional forms of employment, so why not get paid for something i'd do for free? Jan 20 13 09:17 pm Link I actually started out modeling when I was 12, was super tall and skinny for my age and was signed up with an agency. When I got to be about 15 or 16 my agency pretty much dropped me (I stopped growing taller, booo). Years later I heard about MM and when I signed up, I thought "well, hell, no one's gonna pay me for anything else BUT nudes, I'm only 5'7..." So I did nudes. I like 'em. Jan 20 13 09:27 pm Link I always wanted to push myself to embrace my body the way God made it, in its pure form...and to get in tune with who I really am without all the clothes and accessories. It was as hell, but I found a kinda famous and very professional photographer who only did artistic nudes that were gorgeous and tasteful. I really did not like the experience, i felt tense and he never even sent me the photos! (it was a paid gig, so i guess it is ok) I was puzzled that I felt so uncomfortable and decided to try again when the right opportunity comes up. The second time there was another photog whose work was so gorgeous that I just wanted to work with him. Surprisingly, I felt 10 times more comfortable! (No photos yet from that shoot... ) Then I've done a couple more and actually kinda liked it. I am still waiting to feel super comfortable while shooting nude, I guess it will come with practice! I am just extremely picky whom I do nudes with and it is going slowly. Jan 21 13 11:53 am Link |
