male model photographers nude or not?
I am in the process of having a website created for me. I don't know whether or not I should post nude pics in addition to my other work. I find that when I am soliciting models if some know that I've done nude work they want nothing to do with me however, I am looking for male models who are open to it as well. It's not a requirement. I also found that agencies won't let me work with their models if I inquire about implied nude work even if I tell them won't do any nudity, just mentioning it turns them off. I feel if they see nude work on my website then I'll never get a chance to work with their models. Do I stifle my artistic expression in favor of the masses or do I stay true to my self expression and the smart ones who understand that I do more than nudes will get it? Any feedback from male photographers who experienced something similar would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Deej May 24 06 07:17 pm Link I guess it depends on what you shoot and how it's presented. If you're shooting/posting playguy-style cock shots, my guess is you would scare off the masses. However, there's no shame in well-done artistic physique work, and a lot of working models (male and female) have shots like that in their books.
