It is on July 9th. I think she is stating you should have waited until then for some reason.

I thought it was Oct 13th, (yesterday).

Anyway bras in my view are lies, down right lies, lol. j/k

When I grew up in France I remember how few bras young women wore... in America another story

Sometimes I feel they wear 2 layers, not just one.

Haha lol your probably referring to the industrial bras that are like 3 bras in one! Lmao

The only time a bra bothers me is when the straps show plainly.  If there was a multimillion dollar client/job on the line, the lines might matter more, but since there isn't (yet), they don't bother me.

  I had one model who had her bra straps showing.  I was going to ask her if she could tuck the straps down so they didn't show when she volunteered to take the whole thing off.  If she had on a top that had sleeves (as opposed to spaghetti straps), I wouldn't have said a thing.

  What cracks me up is that bra lines bother some, but lines on a person's face don't.  They just photoshop the facial lines out of existence.  What's the difference?

Uh generally if you can afford a good makeup artist they make the lines disappear so you don't have too:-)

I keep my bra on as a courtesy to my husband.  Everyone has boobs, but this particular set are his and his alone. Maybe it is more of a privacy thing than anything else.

Your boobs don't belong to YOU? .

Yes, some models feel that way.

Haha, I don't think she quite meant it THAT way-but Puritan thought
never the less. I say if your going for the best shot then it will need a bra or not need a bra
depending on the model and the style of shoot. I prefer to do all my nudes with
bras on;-)

Let themselves go?  What?  Breasts aren't muscles.  Even toning pectoral muscles doesn't have all that much effect on perkiness.

Breasts come in all shapes, and overall body bulk and age don't always correlate to breast shape.  This was made very obvious to me when I attended the Dyke Parade in Toronto years ago.  It takes place on Saturday, the day before the big Gay Pride parade.

In the Dyke Parade, 500-1000 women (that year) marched down Yonge Street, the major north-south street in Toronto.  Many were topless.  You could see middle-aged women with great boobs, and young women with not-so-great boobs.  Some big women had big boobs, some didn't.  Some small women had small boobs, some didn't.

Women can tone most parts of their bodies, but with breasts, most of their shape is what God gave them.  Short of surgery, there's not a lot to be done.

That actually sounds pretty normal to me. What do you expect?

Models often like to wear bras during a clothed shoot because the bra gives them a nice shape.  There aren't many women (models or otherwise) who have nice, round, perky, and perfectly shaped boobs naturally.   There are many models who have overly pointy, or slightly saggy boobs, even the A and B cups. 

I really don't understand why you would care.  If you're worried about the marks on the shoulders, ask them to wear a strappless or racerback bra to the shoot, problem solved.  If wearing a bra during a clothed shoot helps the model feel more confident, it's probably in your best interest to let her wear it.  Confident model= better photos.

Modeling is about the look.  Comfort is irrelevant.  The natural lines of an uninhibited breast trump cups and cones and pads every time.

Not everybody is shooting "natural beauty" photos all the time. Not everybody is shooting nudes all the time, either.

There are extremely tiny women with huge tits for no other reason than they were born that way and that's where their body decides to store its fat (I'm sorry, what exercise do you do to lose weight in your tits?)

There are larger women who, when theyre heavy, have great huge perky fantastic tits, but when they lose weight, yes the fat comes out of their tits too, and depending on their age and how well their skin and muscle "bounce back" their breasts may be less than perfect

Your breasts change through both puberty and pregnancy, as well as when you add hormonal medications into your life (or take them away)

There are women who have had breast reductions, breast cancer, etc

So what exactly is it that you know about "the droopies" and how those women don't care for their bodies well enough?

Great reply.

This thread is a hot mess for the most part, though.

well only seems 2 is fair since there are two to uncover or cover... dont want one or the other getting jealous

That is quite an assumption. Professional fashion models, sure, for the most part will fit that standard. In the MM world though where there is an abundance of hobby models, I don't think that is a fair statement. There are plenty of lovely ladies on here that are around a size 2 but with larger-than-A-or-B-cup breasts. Then there is the genetic factor of skin elasticity... some girls can get away with D cup, no bra, and hold up fine. Others can be B cup, wear a bra constantly, and gravity will still find a way.

this is so very true. I shot with one model who defied gravity and was a C/D cup. And I have had some B cups where I almost told them to put their bra back on

Your post is completely incoherent so forgive me if Im not understanding you clearly, but it LOOKS like youre saying that you disagree with what i wrote and are also saying that my response is not appropriate for the quotes below, which are what I was responding to:

I ABSOLUTELY read and comprehended what they said. Its utter horseshit. Now please dont patronize me and tell me that I need to "get out and grow" because Im a "20something". I THINK Ive got a pretty good grasp on how BREASTS work, and I THINK the previous male posters have sufficiently demonstrated that they do NOT have a firm grasp on...just about anything to do with a human body. What do YOU have to add?

The quoted posters can be observed to be clumsily fumbling, Laura has a much firmer grasp of breasts. It's pleasing.

+1 OP and all that agree with all of his post, at first you were complaining about the models that wouldn't liberate their breast from their bra, then you complain about some of the ones that do have sag or "imperfect" chest for some reason. I am not following your logic in this thread at all.

Yes bra lines and bras that can be seen through sheer material can upset your vision for the shoot. I would suggest that you be clear in what you are needing from them before you book them.

As far as models with sagging or imperfect mammaries there are several niches for them and can be great models. It is not their fault that something happened or they never were "perfect" Do you think you are perfect in all that you do (and have)? Just asking. You don't have to answer that if you don't want to. I wouldn't want you to embarrass yourself.

Just so you know where I'm coming from; I would love to produce an artistic nude shoot with a breast cancer survivor as long as she was comfortable with it. Art and beauty can be found in many places if you look deep enough.

I believe I have said enough so.... Next!
