How about a belt bra instead? If you'll take that exchange, it's been done.



There's another one with a bathtub--still on the RR tracks--but I can't remember the photographer.

I was wondering how long until someone posted that photo.  I love it!

If I've seen it once I've seen it a 1000 times. Seems like everyone's doing it.

What about the old belt around the boobs

That's just tacky..not even good enough to be cliche.

The circle is take off on the Norman Rockwell series. ...and what the hell is wrong with a high key white background?  It's kinda like vanilla ice cream..just a place to start for some but others are happy with it as is

For our own personal entertainment. I want to start a list of cliche photo concepts. I know I have seen other lists in the past. This is the "All New New Cliche Idea Massacre List"

OK, lets hear it, Short & Sweet.

hand bras

You beat me to it

I'll agree with hand bras, belt bras and caution tape.  Hard to put a new twist or vision into these.

I've done multiple hands on my body
various other hands on the breasts
as well as those showing and MY hands on another model, (dressed and nude model)

done belts all over next to each other, except on the boobs (that looked good)

and various tape only on bikini bits and also leaving just those bits to show...
Saran wrap too

But I'd say most of those are cliche also!
And mostly fun shots rather than Art
Would rather do worthwhile Art that's saleable, rather than many people here are just shooting whatever they think is just fun, for internet

Depends on the belt!

as long as I get to wear those cool black jeans with the "M" logo on the back...I'm there...
lol

They're actually not an "M" believe it or not. It's a "v" for Evisu (the brand). But it's impossible to make out especially on the big logos.

ok I gotta ask.... if shooting in studio is cliche, and shooting outdoors is cliche, where are we supposed to shoot?

Really??? Since when is film is cliche?

Where is that shot? Hard to find a good picture of a sackbut, let alone a model stroking one. Trombones are another thing.

Yes really.  Now I'm going to remove film images from my ports
and tell any film shooters I won't shoot with their cliche ass
and maybe even put that in my profile "No Film Shooters Allowed"

That's Funny I'm looking for a hasselblad with an A1 back and a 85mm 2.8 and a metered view finder. Just because no one wants to but my old darkroom I haven't used in 15 years.

girls with guitars.  I like girls, I like guitars but the combination just doesn't synergize for me.

Hi, I completely hear what you're saying.  Well, I'm a musician and well, the guitar never goes out of style to me because it's personal.  Seeing women with guitars that have no association with it is yes, cliche.
