PLEASE BOYCOT THE HORRIBLE 'HAND/ARM BRA' SHOTS!!!

Shoot me (WITH A GUN) if you see me with a model posing like that and fast!

Have ever seen Michelangelo master pieces with those poses?  How about Picasso, Rembrandt, any of the masters?  NO!

And certainly not Helmut Newton.

Hand bras are really stupid!  I think that all photographers should also stop using cliche' shots with hair fans, models looking in mirrors, and basically anything that anyone else has already done.

Yeah!  Stop photographing all those, y'know, women and stuff - it's been done to death!

I love that last quote;  Brilliant!

NO one will EVER find a 'hand bra' pose in my portfolio.  I feel it is the worst possible pose of them all...what is a viewer to think of what the model is doing in an image like that?  What is the model saying with their 'hand-bra' body language? - "Here I am holding my tits"!  The pose is horrible (in my opinion).

I propose an alternative to the hand bra.

The tongue panty or the finger tampon. Photographer's choice.

Oh, and I should say, I don't mind implied nudes, as long as they don't look intentional.  Hand bras and such are clearly there to cover.

I much prefer shots where it doesn't look intentional.

Appropriate response would be "ok, then nevermind" or "yeah well um...look at that model."

She wore a handbra
And her love wore a hand-jock
They longed to hold hands.

Am I missing something?  Or were you also speaking tongue in cheek?

If one female model is covering another female models boobs by holding a strap-on dildo across them, would it be considered a Strapless Bra? Or would I just have way too much free time on my hands?
