Ass Tax. STAND AND DELIVER! Hand over them asses.

Some suggestions:

1 You need to study "Assignations"  methodology
2 Maybe think of renting or Burrow-ing a Donkey : )
3 Study the methods of BUTTon collectors

so you can "round out" your your portfolio.

I just wanted to write and ask all MM members what they believe to be real modeling. I've been told that "ass" shots and going half naked is not modeling, only if it's done right. I've browsed many photographers ports and in a great percentage I've found mostly those mentioned "ass" shots.

Not in mine. 

It all depends on the Genre that you are being hired for..... In Commercial Lifestyle modeling, you won't see too many booty shots.  In Glam modeling, you will see a lot more.  There are a lot of photographers on this site (and others) that shoot Glam/swimsuit/lingerie.

There is nothing wrong with it, if you are shooting with a real pro.

I wont take them. I think all shots should have meaning to them. And I get tired of seeing so many ports only focus on "pleasing men". I think they should have some creativity to them and not just be for the purpose of the "ass". I just wanted to know what everyone thought about it.

Modeling is about doing a job that you get paid for.  If every one thought your way there would be signs on repair shops saying I do not work on green, or blue cars.

I shoot nudes, and have found that most of my nude prints, purchased in galleries, are bought by women. On Ebay most of the buyers are men, but not all of them.

Models have posed for artists for thousands of years. As far as I know non of these models ever required the artists to have any creativity.  Of course some did, but not many until after they died.  Most of the models needed the money, or a room and board to stay alive.
