Penthouse nudes involve open legs but no toys or pink spreads.

I have seen all kinds of Pink on Penthouse.  Unless they have changed in the last 10 years since I last saw one. bs

Thank you! I apologize if this is a repeat subject.

Radical idea: Why don't you ask the photographer?

Because it's a 3 model, 15 photographer kind of deal... and instead of sounding inexperienced to the person who contacted me about it... I was going to ask the forum so I could have a better understanding of what I was getting myself into... but I think it will end in me asking the person who contacted me because there are a lot of mixed (though still helpful) ideas about Penthouse style nudes.

you don't have nudes in your port, maybe you should wait on doing something like this until you've done a nude set. especially since it sounds more like erotic nude than art nude. if you regret it, 15 different photographers will have nudie pics of you.(disregard if you've shot nudes)

Well, it's not something I've done before, but something I'm preparing myself to do. I have an artistic nude shoot this weekend, and other Playboy style nude shoots the following weeks before this one comes up.

In fact, I could use any sort of advice related to nude modeling at this point!

I don't think asking for clarification about a job description is a sign of inexperience at all. A clear, written description of the job entails is more "professional" than a 2-word general idea of the sort of thing you'd maybe be asked to do.

This is very true, and I do intend on finding out exactly what the job will entail... I was just looking for a general idea... because I really don't have any idea at all about this subject.

While it has been a while since I've looked at either Playboy or Penthouse, I do recall that in one of the last Penthouse magazines that I had there was a couple layout that included full penetration - not the standard "tease" photos that they would normally run.

That used to be......

Last year I had heard about the "new" Penthouse and how great the photography was. Since the last issue I saw had that full penetration I wondered what they did to improve the magazine.

It sucked! A total waste of EIGHT BUCKS!!!!.....the photography was lame, unimaginative and I've seem better here on MM....BTW.more penetration or really wide open shots....not that I consider that a requirement but the whole thing was just so boooorrrringgg!

From what I understand when it was sold the new owners wanted to bring more into the "mainstream"...whatever that means????

Judging by the images in your port, are you sure you're ready for "Penthouse style" nudes?

Name dropping are we? The bottom line is she's not ready. Plus it's not Penthouse she's modeling for. But someone wanting her to do "Penthouse style". And that in their minds could mean anything. If your really interested ask to see examples of their work and go from there.

What makes me so unready?

I have sex.

I have pictures taken of me.

You combine the two. Not necessarily having sex, but being nude.

What would I need to be ready for?

I have shot penthouse filler and Cover (yesterday) I personaly know Earl Miller (most published PH photog in there history) PENTHOUSE tyle is SPREAD pink (if actuly for the mag someitmes toys are used) Playboy is all closed leg, no clit, ect
Anyother questions let me know>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Earl Miller does not shoot for Penthouse anymore. Since the new ownership took over a few years ago, they do not publish his work. Nothing they publish is as explicit as what he shoots.

P.S. . . . Earl and I have been good friends for many years.

If models and photographers talked about this stuff with each other half as much as they talk about it with outsiders here in these forums, these threads wouldnt even exist.

Here is a thought...  "Penthouse style,... interesting, what exactly does that mean to you?"

As a matter of fact, I have sent them a message asking just that. I was just looking to the forums for a little insight while I wait for a reply.

WoW! I had NO idea! It's probably been about ten years since I looked at a Penthouse magazine.  I do still subscribe to Playboy...

QFT - it sounds like a horrendous GWC-fest to me - 15 "photographers" all hot and sweaty and each with his own idea of what "penthouse style" means... not something to be undertaken by a model inexperienced in that type of modelling IMHO

Just my $0.02

It is beginning to look that way, isn't it! If you check out ShutterBug Magazine you'll find dozens of listings for "glamour" workshops. Basically someone puts together a group shoot as some fancy house with a pool. Charges 10 to 15 GWCs anywhere up to $200 each to come and shoot three or four "professional" models in various stages of undress.

The promoter makes out like a bandit, the models get barely anything except a few bucks and the promise of some prints for their ports and the GWCs go home thinking they are the best thing since sliced bread with nudie shots to show their non GWC buddies at the local tavern.
