It's not LF, it is 35 mm but it is really difficult to convince a girl to take off clothes for shooting. I have not yet shot nude with LF because no model.

from my aspect, and it will differ from every person on this site, but to shoot a girl nude, first, it is a unique honor. Second, if your style, like mine, is based on the dialogoue of relationships between man and women, tnen, photographing a girl, is more complex than a simple nude, more elegant than a risque "beaver" shot, and more telling in the 'buff' than most shots are of couples in their outfits. Never, ever let a dime store photographer named JohnnieElvis tell you that you suck if you shoot nudes, your thinking for yourself, whatever, or you "suck" if you don't, I hate that. Shoot what inspires you, moves you. The thing is, no one is going to be happy, you'll have those whiner types but you need to know that what you shoot and do and how you work is "ok" What did you think about when you woke up first thing this morning? Okay, it's raw, but shoot it. work it out, make it a cathartic process, build a concept, otherwise you become duped so chumps like "johnnyelvis" can throw stones at you. But let the stones roll off, because you are a motherfucking photographer, a photographer that can shoot nudes in strange stressfull situations, a photographer that can deal with the pressure of a situation, deal with someone name calling you while you pull the best editorial of the season.
Thank you Asher. I always think that we should open our mind when we shooting and seeing photos. Praise the beauty of women body is not a sin.
I have a story to share:
In Hanoi, I joined a group of people who love photography, every year we organize an exhibition on the anniversary day. On that day, we sell the photos of the people in group and all of the money will be donated for charity.
Last year, I decided to find a way to get more people for the children in the Cancer Hospital. I decided to publish a photo book of our group. Luckily, the HSBC Insuarance sponsored money to print the book. Unfortunately, in the book there was a photo:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/auliah/...n/photostream/
because of that photo we couldn't get the permission for publishing the book. I had to convince the person who in charge. When we get the permission, the Director of PR of HSBC Insuarance (a Westerner) say that photo can not be in the book because it's a child porn. It took a long time to discuss, in the end I said that if HSBC Insuarance is not accept, I would use my money instead of their. Very lucky, the CEO say yes with me and the book was published.
hey---didn't say anybody sucked or any BAD personal criticism
nothing personal people
just hate it when "nude" tries to be justified by psychobabble about "art" or "ego" or whatever.
amongst that kind of blah blah I feel like no communication...like beavis and butthead cant' get through to the hippy teacher...hippy teacher will talk about how the contrast and juxtaposition...blah. blah blah...while beavis and butthead say...LOOK...a BOOB a BOOB...heh heh heh hehehe heh check it out butthead!
I agree with johnielvis. We should all have more sex with models.
