If you need to ask this question, I would suggest taking up macro, shoot them nude insects....:)

It doesn't hurt to ask, does it?

No it never hurts to ask. But you are lucky you didnt get this in response

I guess I don't understand everyones' response to this query. If he wanted to shoot fine art nudes would the response be the same? or start a boudouire studio would it be so negative? I would think that the body is what it is and is beautiful to start with. Photographing it in it's natural state is beautiful as well. After 30 years of viewing diseased and broken bodies as a nurse/photographer maybe I just have a skewed view of the human form. I just have seen so much misshapen and abnormal bodies that a beautiful ,whole body is a joy to behold especially when done in a tasteful artistic way.

I wasn't aware of the negativity in the responses but you are right. You hit it on the head when you mentioned the nature of the question. Yes, terms like fine art nude would have made the question more palatable. As a matter of fact your approach to the subject would get you more "Sure, I'll pose" than the crude asking of "Wanna get neckid" (paraphrasing to drive the point). Without a better background or at least some preamble it was easy to take the question in a less than serious manner. For my part I apologize.

I think the negativity happened because he comes off like a high school kid not taking it seriously.

I understand the way it came off but I guess guiding the OP in the right direction is more what I was expecting to see in the responses.

The first few posts were talking about modeling agencies, which was his best option. He starting taking it down the scuzz ball road.

The problem with nude photography, is it's really touchy in the professional field. It's hard to find a slot in the industry to do it, and when you come in acting stupid, it makes the field look worse.

Professionals really frown upon this, and will be a lot more harsh than i'm being.

You do NOT want to be known for asking random girls you meet all over the place to get nude for you, you will get on black lists and will never find a job.
