Growing up being a genius I acted much older than I looked. I had friends 4 years older and those my age. Most of my neighbors were extremely rich with 100s of acres so the guys and gals hung around together. By the time I was 5 years old several of the 9 year old gals were nude 24/7 with the vast amount of woods to a friend’s fort. Twins and an older sister all beautiful gals were nudists and said they were nude around the house all the time and around I and my older friend, they were nude almost always out in the tree forts climbing trees. So few people on earth in the early 60s that outside of 2 homeless guys over 20 years, no-one was in our woods or friends so privacy was there. I know the mom knew they were nude in front of I and my friend but she loved us and considered us safe. As the breasts started coming in and pubic hair the mom said they were getting too old for public nudity as they were becoming a woman. Now they had 1 to 2 friends who also were nude. uS guys kept our clothes on, all our young ladiy friends were atractive but it was like clothes on, clothes off no big deal which is probably why even today decades lady, a model nude or not nude is zero difference. Explicits have always been fine to us but trying to be a hoe meant we were not going to work with you. Woman Empowering their body showing off the goods has been done by most famous supermodels including Gisele. Many did video solo or otherwise. One is fooling themselves if they think their lady parts are dirty. Never what you do or show but how you do it.
When Playboy’s first issue came out, my friend’s grandfather had the copy my friend took to view. He didn’t know they were human for he never saw a nude woman. But our other friends thought it was funny that I could care less about how hot the models were but critiqued every photo for the photography and pose to expressions.
I have shot around 7600 models including those of clients for catalogs to nudes and pinups. I and almost every photographer when only real photographers shot for the cost was even then in hundreds of dollars. Models were real models not shooting for non existing social sites. Most shot nudes and a good 49%asked for explicits be them or clients asking us to shoot a model or group of models.
We on a stack of bibles will state unless you have superior confidence from skills and success to lots of nudity at home in the mirror and have no hate for your privates that you and a chance of becoming a world class model. You got to love all of your body parts and enjoy your body. Me time is critical with or without a boyfriend or husband. That said you better be a hell of a lot more than a nude model if you want top dollar as a nude model or becoming a supermodel. You need talent, gal next door personality and for every nude have at least equal amount of clothed images in various outfits.
In our near 60 decades of shooting models we have never asked a non nude model to shoot nudes unless they suggested nudes in our pre shooting conversation. Persuing models to start shooting nudes before suggesting it is the sign of a creep. When a model wants to shoot nudes they will just come out of the changing room naked or ask. The images and their model careers will blossom when not being harassed to be a nude model by a photographer. I have had asked why I didn’t shoot nudes of a pretty model and the same answer always exists. They didn;t ask. I then replay only scumbag photographers try to pressure a non nude model to start their nude modeling career with them.
So we have shoot explicit tons of times and have had models who became Playmates or Playboy was interested in them as a playmate to be in Playboy and Penthouse as well.
My favorite shoot of all time was with one of my favorite humans and a total sweetheart with so much talent and beauty. Here are a few images from my favorite shoot of all time and a model, Beautiful Anne, who asked about nudes as I was finishing up with a nude model who posed in with in lingerie.
I stated that once a model shoot nudes their model is at a total different level and most of the pre nude models become useless to their portfolio as they shoot more nudes and then shoot in clothes for the confidence and feeling of beauty are at a whole other level. That photographer’s is and always should be the models decision and choice, not anyone else’s.
No pressure. Anne came out of the changing room and said “Im ready to shoot nudes previous shoot.
