I'm conducting research for some writing about agencies providing employment for nude models. Please let me know if you know of any North American agency that is involved in nude modeling (but not hardcore porn.) Doesn't need to be an exclusively nude modeling agency.
Just a web address will be enough, a PM to me is fine vs. responding here.

Aaron Almost every NYC agency I've seen has models available for fashion nudes -- if you are referring to fine art nudes then I have no idea.

Other than some modeling guilds in the SF area, as far as I know, no such agency exists.
Edit: No such agency that exists only for nude work/nude models exists (to my knowledge).

All of the agencies I know of do-up to fine art or concept art only, but nudity is no issue.

None of them are going to book models to do the kind of work in your portfolio, though. Most of them will hire a model to (or even encourage) fashion shoots that involve varying degrees of nudity, not to shoots that are about nudity.
To my knowledge there aren't agencies for that kind of work because that kind of work largely has no commercial applications. With no commercial applications there's no way to support agencies and the related industry structure.

There are a number of small local agencies in any area that cater to just photographers,usualy run by some photographer,but to be honest my experience with them had been rather dismal.There are also "managers" who handle nude models(best advice is to run away)
Most of these are not the top agencies you are looking for ,and not worth wasteing time with.

Aaron Agencies don't "provide employment".... They are agents not employers.
That said, look on the fashion boards of any NYC, miami, or LA agency
Does that answer your question?
