    I've always wanted to pose nude for someones photog. or painting or something like that haha

    honestly im extremely into art, i'm an artist myself, and i've always wanted to do this.. the majority of my friends are artists of some form but i would never ask to pose for them in that way cause i've always felt awkward hah idk has anyone ever done that? is it awkward or liberating or normal..

    regardless of my always wanted to pose for someone i dont know how i would feel while posing.. something about someone looking at me in detail would probably freak me out about it

    what do ya think?:blush5:

    i've posed before. it's not really that awkward. they are only drawing my body which is just a vessel in this life.

    college will usually post want ads for nude models of all body types. i see ads on craigslist.com all the time.. probably because i live in a college town with many art students. sometimes you are not totally nude.

    go for it if you want to do it. :D

    ive never posed nude but ive done a few nude photo shoots. the girl i shot said she felt a little weird at first but we were joking around and having fun while we were doing it which took the tension off her and got a nice smile for the pictures when needed. the only weird part really was that we were doing it in a studio at my school so we had to tape paper over the window and lock to door so no one could see her naked haha. i think id feel weird posing nude though...but i feel weird posing in the first place, i like to be on the other side of the camera haha

    yeah i feel that haha not always easy for the artist to be the subject of the art.. unless youre into like self portraits and stuff.. idk its realy only intrigued me cause i think when nude pictures are done in a classy way theyre so beautiful so i've always wanted to be a part of one. i've posed for my friends dozens of times its just something thats always been in the back of my head

    actually most of the projects i do end up being self portraits which i dont mind that much but posing for other people always gives me a weird feeling haha. one of my friends did an amazing project last quarter of nudes in an abandoned house and they turned out incredible.

    I think the human body is the most beautiful thing on earth. Having nude photos taken of you is great if you have a good photographer ... you can look back at them when you're 90 and say "see? this is what I used to look like!"

    I posed for art classes in college. I got $8/hour ... lol. It wasn't really all that interesting, to tell you the truth ... but hey, I needed the money and it was better than working at Taco Bell.

    I have modeled nude for many years. I have work both with schools and private photographers and artists. I love doing it very much. I think the colleges are the best. I enjoy the interaction with the students. And btw I get $15 an hour here:)

    I loved my Life Drawing class and drawing naked people were my favorite part.Usually I'm so in the zone that I sometimes forget that a nude person is really sitting or standing right in front of me :tongue: No ones gonna care so you shouldn't. It's a beautiful thing :)

    I was thinking about posing many times. Maybe it´s something like animal instinct to get undressed, tho. I don´t really know. But once I had a bid for an acts which I refused cos I dislike work of photographer who asked me. It looks little bit like a fake...If somebody is talented there will be no problem for me, thought.
