I know I do. Since there was another thread lamenting the lack of female photographers doing female nudes, let's redress that. I'll start it rolling. Here are some fabulous female photographers on MM doing female nudes (I've only been around here a few months, so if I haven't met you yet-come on by!!)
Sita Mae Edwards MM # 12528
KM von Seidl MM # 5423
Beatrice Neumann MM #37486
Sylvie Blum MM # 55159

And those not on MM
Ruth Bernhard (who I'm pretty sure started us all on our road)
Zoe Wiseman
Ellen Von Unwerth
Joyce Tenneson

This is my fast, off the top of my head list. Who else is out there??

Dr Molly Black

and

Experimental Photoworks

Experimental Photoworks as well.

Yes, yes KM! I think it's time we get a union together. (Or at least one hell of a party!)

Damn!  Why isn't Imogen Cunningham on that list??  She's far and away the best.

Because I dashed it off in 2 seconds without stopping to think and only to get it rolling! Absolutely! That's why I started it-it's time to build a list.

How about both?

Maybe a joint self-published work.

I agree.  Make the point in a positive way.
Cool.

There are so few of you wonderful lady photographers in my area.

E-string-I was hoping you would make an appearance! ;-). Any other models want to add some support with female photographers they've worked with that we don't know about yet?  Let's add to the list!

I know.  I just wanted to make sure Imogen's name got in there.  Her work with the nude has always been one of my inspirations.

Thanks Frank-can you link to any image in particular to share with us? It's always great to see what inspires people.

There's a collection of Imogen Cunningham's nude work titled "On the Body" with an excellent introductory essay.  I think the photos that impressed me most were the studies of Martha Graham, a great artist in her own right.  If I remember correctly, Imogen was the only photographer Martha ever allowed to photograph her nude.

In the 90's, I saw an amazing exhibit of Imogen Cunningham's nudes that had been printed in platinum by her son. who is (was?) a photographer in his own right and already quite old at that time.  It was an incredible experience.

I wish there was one in central Texas.. I have some pretty great ideas as far as nude pictures go.. but I want to work with a lady!

Never mind. I didn't realize you charged and worked with an agency. I'm paid to shoot nude people, not the other way around! Good luck! :-)

Well, if you would consider doing it for free, so would I.
