Models that i know charge more due to the vulnerability and risk envolved in shooting nudes.  And models who due mostly or exclusively nudes have high expenses as well, just different...tanning beds for some, gym memberships or home exercise equipment, workout clothes, workout videos and everything else that goes into maintaining the body to shoot that kind of work.  No one group is ruining it for another.  What one group can do, another cant, which is why it takes all kinds to keep the world turning...even the modelin world.

Clearly, you've never had to explain that to a client.

Yeah... no offense to the people who make me physically ill...

I think we need to learn what the phrase "no offense" actually means.

EXACTLY! 

This is why when I do nude photography I charge more (not to mention the hazards involved, although they have been reduced significantly since I moved to a wireless system).  You want me to take your picture, that's one thing, but if you want me naked when I'm doing it, well, you're going to have to pony up....

Shirt to hide the pouchy tummy.
A wonder bra to uplift the breasts.
Jeans to hold the bottom up and the hips in.
Heals to extend the legs and pop the claves.
Lingerie to hide the strech marks.
Belt to suck in the waist

Not as many can look just as beautiful with nothing to hide.

Other than you!  ;-)

And models who work in clothes don't do any of this?

It's a horrible misconception that a nude model would need to be any more or less fit than a clothing model.  All of this expenses could very well be incurred by a clothing model as well.  To think that wouldn't need to be physically fit or never show skin is naive.  There are shirts and skirts that leave little to the imagination. 

A clothing model needs to be just as in shape...
