Are there any other photographers who won't shoot nudes, or am I the only one??

I don't shot nudes. I have always thought that ones imagination makes the best palett. I like to supply the image, funny, seductive, sexy, strong, or whatever my choice happens to be. The story that the photograph reveals to you tells me a lot about who you are and where your head has been as a the viewer.
I don't have a problem with those that do shoot nudes it is a free choice made by each one us.
No matter what you shoot you are open to a vast selections of opinions. The set currently on my port, "Bar in Red" has been pretty well accepted but a person not in our business was on the site, saw the port, and showed up at the models place of work and called her a WHORE!. Note this was not a boy friend, a father, a friend or a family member, just some acquaintance. This tells me a lot about where this guys head is at.
So to all of you, carry on with courage in your art and your view of life. We are created free to do so. You will find out things about others as they view your prints and tell you not the story of your art but more the story of their life.
Thanks for the question and thanks for the chance to vent a little to fellow pros.

I won't. Never! There's nothing more un-natural than the nude human form. It should be covered at all times and people should only have sex in the dark with a sheet between themselves. Nude photography is the gateway to other nude activities and so it should never be done under any circumstances. In fact, I think all animals should be forced to wear clothes as well. After all, if nudity is bad for humans it must be bad for other species as well.
Yeah!!!!!

I won't shoot. To me, and this is my opinion, it's not art. just naked people. It just tells me that the photographer (no offense) isn't creative enough to shoot diff. things. but this is just my opinion, I know many think differently than I do.  good day

I will if someone asks me to shoot them, but I don't go looking to shoot nudes as a rule. The best photographs are the suggestive ones... the things you can't see.

Photographers who shoot fashion just don't have ANY creativity to present a nude. Those who insist that models wear clothing just don't get that it takes creativity to light skin and present it properly. They're just not creative enough!
Oh. Wait. You meant it the other way around, didn't you?
Damn. It's just SO HARD to tell the difference between things that take creativity and things that don't.
Silly me.

Though all of my clothes are dark, mostly black, any blood coming from the wound[s] can still be noticable. Not to mention the holes. I guess it depends on the location of the shot, but overall I prefer to be shot nude.

I'm not flaming you.. I'm just curious what's given you that conclusion.
In any case.. the masters of art of the years gone by may disagree with you. It would be interesting to figure out how much of "great art" contains nudity.

I agree with Pat. The human form is disgusting. People should all be wearing sacks which obliterate any hint of their figure. No good comes of nudity. Shame on all of you, you're products of sin!
Now I'm gonna go wash my eyes out with soap.

Silly me. Yeah you are silly... LOL.
I do shoot nude rarely because, I love accessories and cloths. That's what I like to shoot. Shooting nude is like talking religion. No-one believes in the same way than another - even within the same religion and temple/church. So if you shoot nude in such a category there are few chances that your approach to thinking of and shooting of nude will be the same than other.
For non-believer, talking of shooting nude is off-topic. That's it.
When I shoot a nude model, I shoot a body, and I shoot nudity.
When I shoot a clothed model, I shoot a body and I shoot less nudity... that's it.
