t00 much nudity?
this girl wr0te me a message saying i sh0uld st0p p0sting nude pics b/c n0 0ne will take me seri0usly. any th0ughts? Feb 05 06 09:01 pm Link i see you still are having problems with your 0 button. You know what, this whole thing is a boatload of crap. Look at my port. I am one of the more respected members here...However, since you posed the question, I will try to answer without my tongue too firmly planted in my cheek...I am going to go look at your port. I will be back. Feb 05 06 09:03 pm Link Addie Juniper wrote: Depends...if you want to do commercial work, in most markets...nude photography, especially ingenue nude shots are a NO-NO. If you are hoping to get noticed by magazines and/or clients of Maxim, Teezer, Playboy...professional nude shots will not hurt you. Feb 05 06 09:07 pm Link At first I was offended by this topic and then I realized who started it. Feb 05 06 09:08 pm Link Addie Juniper wrote: tell her to suck a big fat .................

You say that art nudes aren't your focus, but you don't say what your focus is. It would be easier to answer the question if I had an idea of what you're aimed at. Feb 05 06 09:10 pm Link BULLSH*T! There will be those who do not take you seriously no matter what you do. Such statements also beg the question "serious for what?" Do what makes you happy. (Looking at your pics make me happy! :-) ) Just go out there and be the best nude model you can be! Alan Feb 05 06 09:10 pm Link Nerlande wrote: OMG I almost fell out of my chair laughing. That was my first thought too. Feb 05 06 09:11 pm Link I'll do TFP work with creative photographers who I feel will enhance my portfolio. Okay, this part of your portfolio is pretty normal...nothing to not be taken seriously there.... I always charge for nudes (it's reasonable), especially figure nudes because they aren't really the style that I'm looking for. Okay, this is kinda sketchy...you will charge for nudes always...okay for a more experienced model, but if you really want to be a 'respected' nude model, you will try to get some nude work by great photographers in your book. Your book is decent, but not so phenomenal that you will get regularly paid...unless you want to do porn or fetish. However, you say you will particularly charge for figure nudes because they aren't your style...a) nobody wants to pay someone to do something they really don't want to do b) What is your 'style'? What are you looking for out of this whole modeling venture. Lets be honest...you are too old and too short for fashion modeling. You are willing to do nudes, and that is probably going to be the area where you will get the most money. However, if you are worried about being 'respectable', non erotic figure work is the most 'respectable' form of nude photography, if you are going from a traditional standpoint. It also makes the least money. Also, if you already have a port filled with nudes, why are you listening to someone who is telling you you won't be respected for having nudes. What she is saying is that she doesn't find it respectable. Is she an expert in the modeling field? Is she someone you aspire to follow in her footsteps? if not, ignore her. Modeling for me is a marginally profitable hobby. IF you are lucky, it will be the same for you as well. You are not going to be a playmate, you are not going to be a VS model...so, YOU have to define what you want to be. However, I suggest that you spend more time looking at and researching photography, so you can get an idea of what quality photography is. You already slammed a door shut on one of the pre-eminent erotic photographers in the country by asking for money when he specified in his casting that he was looking for TFP..if you had researched, you would have learned that his prints are worth thousands of dollars. So, because you wanted 80$/hr, you lost out on many long term benefits. What do YOU want out of this business. You are new in this biz, and you really don't seem to know what YOU want. Figure that out, and you could go somewhere. Feb 05 06 09:16 pm Link Model Sarah wrote: What do you mean by that? The OP is known for offending? Or you meant that you changed your mind when you read that she, too, might have a problem with someone who dislikes "too much nudity"? I just don't see how your reply answers the OP's concern...

Take a look at the other post. The model seems to know how to put together a decent sentence while the boyfriend seems plagued with l337 syndrome.
