No I encourage models to work with people on any site, but all to often do I see models come back and complain about, the photographrs beeing jerks and lousy images.

What I do  encourage models to do is to look for photographers who has technical and creative skills

Thats good



Technical and creative skill, and not being a jerk, has nothing to do with the volume of nude work on this site.

I been a member of this site for a very long time, like coming on here reading and looking at peoples work every now and then.

What I have noticed over the years is a tremedous amount of nudes!! What's the facination with nudes? As a model I would be very skeptical to pick a photographer from this site.

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.

Thank goodness you are here to show us the error of our ways.

Sounds like models should feel very lucky if they're able to do a nude shoot with you and only you. Hmm ... Okay, meanwhile back at the ranch.

I'm sure you'll point the direction for us to follow.

I personally am more offended by being compared to a loaf of bread than I am upset about the amount of naked bitches on this site.

A loaf of bread? You don't mold, sculpt, carve, manipulate, create anything out of a loaf of bread. You know what you do with bread? You tear it apart and stuff it in your mouth hole.

No, I'm not okay being someone's metaphorical loaf of bread

first, this is a private website, so the whole freedom of speech thing...

your opinions are rather offensive to the nude models and photographers who do nude work well.

ok you don't like nudes, put on your work safe mode so you don't have to look at it, and don't shoot it.

If you must, yes, clay is better than bread, at least it still holds some sort of artistic element

How would you know this? Why have you been so interested in viewing a "tremendous amount of nudes" over the years if you're trying to have us believe you're actually complaining about it? Oh, and again, not to mention the fact that YOU SHOOT A TON OF NUDES.

Must refrain from commenting on images of butter sliding sensuously down a perfectly tanned loaf of bread... heat from the lights accelerating the inevitable plunge into a open crevasse in the ... crust.  Beautifully contrasted by leaded crystal holding a full bodied... merlot... lit by multiple lazer pointers, diffracting and ricocheting about to ultimately fall upon the .... crust... and the melting butter.

Damn.  Now I am hungry!
