Do fashion photographers shoot nudes?

What would that look like?

In their spare time they do, but you'd be hard pressed to find anything but the most benign nudes graceing the pages of Vanity Fair or Vogue. Especially now that Helmut's dead.

Hmmm... I take that back. It's purely an American mag thing. British, French, and Italian Vogue have nudes all the time, though they aren't particullarly provocative.

Define nude, Mr Clinton.

I'm just curious.. Fashion has a very different aesthetic..  Does that play in to how a fashion photographer would conceptualize a nude?

As the genius Richard Goldstein once said to me, "There's nothing more fashionable than being comfortable in your own skin."

Fashion isn't about the clothes.  That's rule #1.

Unfortunately, no one has been able to write the other rules.

Rule #2 - "simply poo" is not a fashion statement
Rule #3 - clip your toenails
Rule #4 - KMart is not Couture
Rule #5 - snot isn't sexy

Hmmm, "implied fashion"... wouldn't that be more like a nude image where she was wearing gucci shoes, but you couldn't quite make out the label? :-)

The answer is in how fashion/glamour photographers critique nudes on mm
