Dirty Secrets of Nude Photography
I was hesitant to reply because I got reamed really badly for sharing before. I accidentally left out a few facts, focused on extraneous details and people were merciless. I have had nothing but positive experiences before and since. I had a photographer try to pay me for sex. He was extremely pushy about it and borderline sexually assaulted me. I reported it to the cops but they didn't take me seriously or care. I almost quit modeling. I actually really enjoy nude modeling and it is hurtful to be reminded that some people assume nude models are sex workers. I have never been treated as a prostitute since. I really should have screened the photographer better. Asking the right questions is very important and I was naive. Lesson learned. I have refused numerous clients since on gut instinct. Don't be desperate and only work with people who make you feel comfortable. Jun 27 14 05:47 pm Link Good Egg Productions wrote: +1.

I want to relax and get to know the other person. I want to let my guard down and have fun. Do you want to work on your date? Fine, most women don't. A first date is pressure so why add to it?

Jun 27 14 06:17 pm Link I think a photographer who specializes in nudity should have a very bland blog. If you treat the people you shoot with respect then there should be no sensationalized experiences. As the saying goes, if you're looking for trouble you'll find it. I've never had drama because it's about the process and collaborating. Any real artistic pursuit is a combined effort. When you get in trouble is when your photography is more about ogling or trying to hook up with women. Jun 27 14 06:41 pm Link Ken Marcus Studios wrote: Damn. I wish you'd warned us sooner. It would have spared us from so much grief... Jun 28 14 11:37 am Link The biggest issue is telling the model what not to wear.
