Nude photography has always been a favorite of mine. Many of my favorite photographers have done extensive work with the female nude. I would eventually like to try nude photography but have no clue where to find willing subjects. Friends and family offer no possibility. Everyone I know is either very conservative about this subject, or just plain uncomfortable about themselves to be photographed in the nude. So, I am very curious as to how photographers, pro and amateur, find people ( I'm referring to women here) that are willing to model for a nude shooting. I read that Brandt used some women close to him, but he also paid many to sit for him.
