Apart from a few misunderstandings at weddings, it's been ok.

I would think the photographer was awesome if they got naked too! male or female,,,
is it strange that Id be more comfortable and the situation would be less sexual for me?

Been there, done that -  as photographer and as model.  I never ask models to do what I'm not willing to do.  Only I expect them to look a lot better doing it (time has not been kind to me since been there done that, hehehehe)

I've done it...usually because my friends are also nude models, and I will do documentary style photography, why get clothes on just for the shoot. What I usually do put on are some good solid shoes so I can climb up on things for the interestingly composed candid.

So true, especially with me shooting at the beach...yeah...I'd be less than impressive...other than I'd be bigger than everyone else's still...but since they'd still be wearing clothes, it'd be hard...er...difficult to prove.

I would totally shoot nude. In fact the self-portrait of me in both my ports (same one since people seem to love it) is me shooting myself nude.

So, I'm all for nudist photography! ;-)

For a good shot, okay....i'd do it. But I'm a bit of a nudist anyways, do a couple runways shows (I'm a model first and foremost), and its all naked people everywhere....you get used to it.

LMAO!  That almost covers it all!  Hahahahahaha!  You forgot to name your favorite photographer and model that you'd like to work with.  LOL! (in the nude, of course, to stay on topic)

No. I occasionally like to shoot a model with a serious look on her face, not laughing hysterically.

Believe it or not, that was one of my first assignments in school after I started RIT.  "Nude shoot, but your model's NOT the one who's nude."  I had a very happy boyfriend that night.

I'm already irresistible clothed. If I got naked, the model might explode from being exposed to my awesomeness.

There's a film in which an actress tells a film director she feels self-conscious about performing a scene in the nude.  She suggests that everyone one else on the set should be in a similar state of undress.

The following day, she appears on the set, and, to her surprise, she's been taken seriously.  All of the members of the film crew--both male and female--are in the altogether, except for tool belts, headphones, etc.

I believe the film was "My Wife's an Actress!" starring Charlotte Gainsbourg.

Primarily, the film is in French, except the scenes (such as the one described above) taking place in the United Kingdom, which were in English.
