Yep, try shooting a loaf of bread along with a wine bottle, bet you be hungry before you even get a decent image of it, but by the time you done, you might have some lighting skills. It's actually a very hard image to do, as you work with different surfaces that requires different lighting.

Have fun with it, lol

I'm just curious.  Are you claiming to be an expert with light, or have lighting skills, and you are doing so in the Critique section (this forum is for asking for critiques, or giving them), does that mean you want us to critique your lighting?  I'd be happy to do so.

Oh, I definitely have had fun with it. In fact, this is the first time I can honestly say I LOL'd, like a mad man in front of my computer, by myself !

Guess, you didn't read my message, I do tons of nude work, and I make a decent living on it to. It's sad to see that you all so easily offended!!! I must have struck a cord somewhere!!! LOL

Well just speaking for myself, I am not in the least bit offended. I don't give a damn what others think of my work.

I feel that your post just seems like you are trolling.

no but it's tiresome to read the same thing over and over again

you must be offended at the nudes you shoot...you do show "the world" sometimes and you said that that is not a good nude

I'm genetically programed by nature to love the nude female form, which makes it my favorite subject.  Why fight your genetic predisposition?

Ah when we were growing up Playboy had a special place in the mind and heart, and surely would reach out for the issue of Playboy over Good Housekeeping.

Sign of the times, everyone is trying to outdo themselves with nudity everywhere.

I saw nipples in your port!!! You're one of those pervs!!!

Why this fascination with nudes on here?

'Cause nude women are awesome.



Clothed women are great too, but nude women just bring that extra shot of awesomesauce.

I beg your pardon..what about men? lol

Thanks Dean. I'm here to meet contacts and models I can potentially work with in the industry and to advertise myself. I don't need distractions.

Honestly, some of the best photographers on here has fashion in their portfolios' headshoots and some covered nudes.

I personally shoot lots of nudes, fine art style and glamour style, but my basic principal is to approach every subject like it was a loaf of bread and create an awesome image of it. Using light, poses, angels and perspective, and I'm only staisfied with my nudes if it shows nothing, My goal is to make the viewer start their imagination, to to give the whole farm away up front.

Sounds like trolling really, from someone who is a good photographer and shoots tones of nudes...

I'm still waiting for her to come to my area so I can have the honor of shooting with her.  She doesn't even need to be nekkid!  That face alone is beautiful enough for me!

Sorry to hijack your thread but on the subject of "freedom of speech", does this count as exercising ones freedom to speak freely?

I looked at your port and saw no ANGELS.

But seriously;
I shoot nudes because I like them.
I shoot nudes because the ladies ask me to.
I shoot nudes because it's a bigger challenge to create something new everytime when there is no artifice to hide behind, no props to fall back on, just the honest beauty and  naked truth of the human body.
