Alan...thank you! (for letting me off the hook!)
Might as well pose nude. I had to drawn nude people, I have photographed nude people. I never understood why people are offended by nudity. I was stationed in Germany and ever summer they are out there sunbathing nude. Males and Females. I lived by a college. After retiring from the military, I went to school for Fine Arts and discovered I can't draw, paint or sculpt well. Photography was a perfect fit.
My wife is an artist, and I have posed nude at times for her. While I have no particular qualms about it in general, I don't suppose that, as the years are advancing (more and more rapidly), I will ever do it for people I don't know. I would not want to be responsible for any mental scarring that might result!
Well...maybe what needs to be said - is that any male who is well enough endowed to scare a horse had best keep their pants on! :rolleyes:
Sure I would pose nude for a photographer! But myself I have no problem shooting nude self portraits, it's actually a lot of fun to do but hard to get just right! Maybe I'll post something...
When I was teaching photography, the class across from the darkroom often had a figure study photo class. The guys were all 55+ years old, 40+ lbs overweight with longer lenses than were needed for normal figure work. At one point, the model was heavier than the typical model selected by the teacher and there were several complaints which, I thought were somewhat funny but also hypocritical. One other time the model didn't show and it was suggested that one of the guys (no women took this course) simply model. There wasn't a single taker in 10 or more students.
