I would consider it, if I liked the photographer and/or the idea presented to me.

- I'm short. I'm also a full time college student as well as a full time graphic designer/webmaster for a couple of adult-oriented sites (I don't appear on any of them though...).
- no time limit, I just need a few weeks advanced notice to make sure I don't have tests/etc.

I've got very limited experience doing any other type of commercial design, and I basically refuse to design in flash because it's so bulky and costly for the clients (and every time I've been asked to design something in flash, they got exactly what they wanted, and then changed their mind and wanted it plainer because it took too long to load...), so I may not be the best choice for you. I can possibly refer to people who would be better at it though

I'm kidding, I can't take a straight picture if the camera is on a tripod... I just know how to stand still and look cute.

I will not accept implied/topless/nude work unless it is a paid shoot. Nicoll, I don't think you are being hypocritical, but you illustrate a point I was about to make... And I'd love to work with you if you want to come down to *my* part of Texas...
Models interested in paid nudes advertise because they know they'll get a specific value for their work.
Models interested in TFCD nudes do not advertise because they are looking for something intangible, whether that be personal keepsakes, improved portfolio, creative participation, a modeling challenge (and it is!), a chance to work with a particular photographer, an artistic idea they feel is worthwhile, etc.
It's easy to say "pay me $50/hour" on your profile and at least avoid the poor GWCs, but it's nearly impossible to tell 90% of the photographers who drop by that the intangibles they can offer don't meet your requirements. Even adding "with the right photographer" rarely garners interest from only the "right photographer."
Case in point: of the 13 TFCD shoots I've done since the beginning of the year, 9 have involved at least implied nudity. Of those models, none have portfolios suggesting that they are looking for TFCD nude work. It is something that they only discuss while planning particular shoots, depending on their comfort level with the photographer and the concepts.

I've paid models for nudes and I've also shot nudity on a trade basis. Hell, one woman contacted me out of the blue and suggested nudes as trade for photos she really needed.
It really depends on who is behind the lens, I think. I'm sure Raven's Laughter would always be able to find someone for a trade shoot. How many women who would not consider nudity for a TFCD shoot leap at the chance to make $25 in a Playboy "Girls Of ..." series?
I don't think too many models would submit their names to this thread because they don't want to be solicited by every photographer who think he's good enough because his girlfriend posed for him.

All the girls in my port are tfp/cd and have posed nude at first shoot. None advertise for nude.
No other way to get my attention I guess.
But those that do get my attention are rewarded in the end.

I once, years ago, did a nude shoot with a very attractive non-professional who contacted me through an ad I had placed in the Village Voice. It turned out the model was financially independent. The shoot went very well and the model willingly signed the release when we had finished. When I went to pay her, though, she said "I just needed to get that out of my system," and declined the money.

That was added because every person so far that has offered me nude/topless work from this site wanted porn and not art. Sorry, I don't mean it to be confusing, but I honestly have no problem doing implied/topless/nude with the right photographer with the right idea, but that doesn't mean that *every* photographer is going to be the right one, or have the right idea...
Case in point. I posted this, and about 15 minutes later I get a message from someone that said they saw my post, and they wanted to build me my own porn site. I laughed and didn't even bother responding... Right after that I get a message from a photographer I have shot with, wanting to know why I wouldn't shoot nudity with him (the project he had when I was working with him that involved nudity also involved dildos...).
Honestly, it's mainly the idea. If what someone is presenting me sounds like it should belong on a porn site, I'm not going to touch it. I'm not going to allow someone to talk me into something that I'm uncomfortable doing, or that I think would hurt my chances at my real career. Unlike a lot of people on this forum, I know I'm not going to model forever, and I'm never going to be rich and/or famous because of it... I'm just doing this as a hobby, and to me, that means I get more control over the shoots I turn down. I don't have to worry about people telling me I'll never walk a runway (who cares?!?) or that I'm not pretty enough to do print (thank god for small miracles on that one) because neither of those things are something I even want to do.
lol sorry for the rant, I actually took a break from this site because of the amount of requests I was getting for porn, so the frustration with it really never went away I guess.

Exactly!
Models don't advertise a willingness to do nude TFCD--it just brings too many GWCs and Heff-wannabes out of the woodwork, and too photographers whining about their concepts not being nude-worthy.

Once you become known as a "nude model," or, better yet, a "free nude model," every crappy wannabe-glamour (or "glammer," as I've heard it called) shooter in the area will approach you. Then, when you turn them down because you don't want ugly, unflattering, terribly-done snapshots of your naked ass all over the Internet, you get to hear about what a stuck-up, snobby bitch you are. Fun times.
But, of course, I am still open to nude TFP...with the right people.

I did a shoot with a very professional model at her home. She wanted something different for her portfolio and contacted me for TFP/CD shoot. I didn't suggest nudity at all. It was all glamour lingerie shots. At the end of the shoot, she suggested going topless. She said she liked my photography to that point and I felt very flattered that this professional model asked me to do such. She said she never put it in her contracts because of the said wannabes out there.
One of the shots from the shoot is my avatar. I greatly appreciated the experience and got alot of great advice from her and her husband who was an escort at the shoot.
I haven't shot in awhile in that style, but hope to do so again soon.

For the record: none of the nudes you see in my ModelMayhem portfolio were done by the models for money - they were all part of testing. And thanks Nicoll and Catriona for being so farsighted and for "thinking ahead of the curve"! I would shoot with both of you given the chance! Nicoll wrote:

If a tear sheet for Playboy is involved. Then yeah. Let's do it  While I'm not doing any nudes TFP now, I did several, and they were for stellar photographers or for tear sheets.

*wanders in*
Yes I have done many nude TFP's
I will do more in the future...
I know exactly what my market is, and who can provide those images that sell me as a nude model.
Currently my paid work scedual has kept me busy enough to not need to do any nude testing.
I am located in Bay area Ca, and travel to LA several times a year...
I model full time so I am avalible all during the year
