Would you ever consider doing any topless modeling? Top $$$ paid. Not
for any commercial use. The photos will be used ONLY for a one time
private gallery showing(not open to the public) only select
photographers (so no worries of anyone seeing it) You will keep all
rights to the images other than a one time private showing and no smut
only done with the best of class. If your interested reply to
[emailwithheld]@gmail.com and send full body shot does not need to be nude but to understand what $$$ will be paid it would help. We are very
interested in using you for the shoot!  Are you available for travel?
Travel may not be a requirement photographer's nation wide will be
participating in this project all with credentials that can be
provided before the shoot, but if travel is needed the shoot will be
in Las Vegas and a 2 night stay (Expenses paid) with a 4hr shoot
required. Once again if you are interested please send photos to
[emailwithheld]@gmail.com. For exact pay quote a full frontal nude photo
non-digitally altered will be required General pay is from $500 to
$2000. Determining your exact zip code, if travel is need and your
availability will determine who you will be working with and your pay
amount. Please if you have any further question feel free to ask



I'm curious to know if it's real. But I have my doubts..Obviously.

They are asking for a nude photo from you. They sent it from a free gmail account.

They don't know who you are or where you live.

100% chance all they want are free nude photos and send this messase randomly.

Besides that you don't know where the pic will land. He could also be trolling fro FREE nudes to use for web splash pages  although with 2257 that practice may be over.

Models be wary of photgraphers that have the nerve to ask for extra images unless there is a valid reason EX; gwants to seem a few more shots of you in group setting. The can I see more line is tired old and a PITA.

They can't find any models in the LV area???  (Not to mention that the writing sounds completely unprofessional.) I'd stay far away.

I only had to read up to where it says from "model search" and that the email is withheld.
Sorry.

I just got this email through retrokitten, so I'm suspecting spam.

To be blunt, any experienced nude photographer doing legitimate gallery work doesn't need to see images beyond what's already posted.  They can usually infer whether someone has the look they seek pretty easily.  Finally, why would someone pay that much for gallery work?  There's never a guarantee it will sell, unless it's by some famous dead guy.

Lexi...

HONESTLY...nope.
And I ALWAYS zap any and all unsolicited emails.

You DID get a chuckle out of it...that is as good as it gets!
