Stress Changes Who Men Find Attractive
When men are below stress, instead of preferring women who resemble themselves as they normally do, they pick dissimilar women, researchers now find. Scientists in Germany and their colleagues had 50 men look at 30 pictures of erotic female nudes. These photos were computer-modified so their faces subtly resembled either the volunteer in question or another volunteer. ...

My photographer is coming in a few days and she needs a location to shoot. I can't use my home because it's not nearly classy enough and I don't have any friends with nice places either. I thought about hiking up a tiny mountain to do it up there but she didn't like the idea and I thought about renting a hotel but I'm really tight on money right now. The photos have to be nude so it has to be somewhere private. They are boudoir style if that helps.

Resolved Question: Preparing for my first photoshoot?
I am going to school for Photography and I have my first college photography class in 2 weeks. I have already put together the beginning of a portfolio... seeing as I have not narrowed it down to one area of photography I have a little bit of everything, design, abstract, nature, animals, architecture, photoshopped, non photoshopped. The only thing I am really missing are portraits so I want to have my first photoshoot (I am the proud owner of a new DSLR... I have used one before but never owned one.. hence not having past photoshoot experience). I have been in photoshoots once but as the model, not the photographer so I don't know how to put one together. I have several ideas when it comes to the style I want ... they range from Siplistic white natural faced to nude faced nature background type thing to crazy out-there wardrob and grafitti background... I have a pal who has modeled for several other art projects who would be willing to be my model... i have another pal who likes to assist on photoshoots and I have a pal who I go to school with that does make up and hair... the last one wants to be a stylist as a career ... seeing as I dont have money maybe I should offer her copies of the photos for a portfolio?... WHat would be some good ideas as far as the overall look, makeup etc, for my first photoshoot... i have access to a photoshoot studio.

Resolved Question: Photography Idea_ Artistic Nude Styling?
I want to create an artistic nude photo the problem is (well beside lighting and other technical details) I dont know how to sylize everyone. The whole concept of this shoot is human sexuality where i show a man in the middle of a literal crisis. Does he pick a lady or man? Behind that other man is another man and same goes for lady. Portrayal has to be artistic non-pornographic so i plan to shoot every the models sideways/ profile except for the main guy, where he is actually frontal. But My question is, how do i achieve this look of sensuality and art while exposing this man? I thought of putting a leotard/ tights on him, then painting him with fudge (so it looks black and oily)and finally adding a white question mark across his upper torso. What do you think?

Resolved Question: Posing nude for the money?
Ok, so this whole story started with me wanting to go to Cuba and my parents cutting off my credit card. I'm 19 so I should be allowed to go if I want to and I was hoping to use my credit card that my dad cosgned for me but now when I told them about me wanting to go on a vacation they basically cancelled it.

How do I deal with being uncomfortable with this whole naked situation? my parents only cancelled my credit card because they think i'm too young to go.It's not about the money

Resolved Question: How can I get better glamour photography pics with my wife and how can I get her to pose for longer sessions?
With no "pro" experience in this whatsoever, I have occasionally photographed my wife with a digital camera where she's wearing lingerie. The pictures are safely hidden on password protected flash drives and are only for us. My question is this, I have no idea what I'm doing other than to snap the best picture I can at a given moment, and she usually poses in a simple manner with little direction from me. When I do try to pose her, she says that my idea of what looks good is different than hers. Also, the sessions are usually only around 10 minutes give or a take, because she only seems comfortable doing them for about that long. So what can I do to make her look good in the photos and make her glad and comfortable? And what can I do to encourage her to have longer photo sessions with more than just a couple outfits? She seems to be comfortable about taking the pictures when they start, but she needs to be "charmed" into starting the session. I think that's because she weighs more than her wedding weight and she's more conscious of her body, so she's more reluctant to start the session and will only go through a short session. Any ideas for warming her up to the idea of starting a shoot (and continuing the shoot longer and keeping her glad during the shoot)? Also, any ideas for warming her up to the idea of a nude or partially nude shoot would be welcome too. We did that once when we were both soused, but I'd like to do it without the alcohol. Thanks for your answer.
Resolved Question: Should I pose for FHM magazine?
So I am fairly new to modeling for photographs. I have been working as a figure model(that is when you pose nude for painters, sculptors, sketch artists) for a while and created an online profile at Model Mayhem to show potential artists who want to hire me what my figure is like, how my body looks in different light, and the way I pose. Now I'm getting offers from lots of photographers which is great. I have done some nude work and I like posing nude for artsy, conceptual photos but not anything that could be considered pornographic. I have stayed away from lingerie style shoots so far because I'm afraid of being involved in something that could potentially look really trashy. But I just got a casting offer from FHM Magazine. First of every this really surprised me because I don't think I have the nice of body that the girls they put in their magazine do. Also I don't know if this is a good move...most of the work I have done so far is non commercial and will stay relatively unseen by the public outside of the photography world. But a major men's magazine? I actually think their shoots are really classy and beautiful and they're not nude, just lingerie...I'm on the fence. Tell me what you think? here is my portfolio www.modelmayhem.com/gretagosch I won't be offended by your opinions. I am proud of my body and of the work that's up on that website but like I said I was very surprised to receive an offer from them because I'm not built like a centerfold...

I am 21 yrs old and wish to pursue a career in modeling. Recently I had a photoshoot with a well known boudoir photographer. I was clothed throughout the shoot, none are nude, none are in suggestive poses. The least amount of clothing I wore was a bra and panties. They are sexy yes, but she qualifies them as porn. She also frequently says that pictures in the Victoria's Secret catalog are porn. I want to do a pinup / cheesecake style photoshoot in the close future, but she says that is most definitley porn and the only purpose is for men to jerk off to it. I only plan on wearing tiny outfits, not underwear or anything like that. She makes me feel very badly about the pictures I have taken and swears they are going to arrive back and haunt me, that I'm raunchy, etc. What should I do? Is boudoir and pinup photography reall porn like?

Resolved Question: My man wants to do erotic photography!?
When we and my man were just friends, he did photography a little bit. Most of his clients were strippers, every of them women. During the time he was dating someone else and I do know that he messed with one of his clients after doing a nude session. Well we are together years later and he is having money issues, so he wants to tug out the old trusty camera and receive back into photography for strippers, because they are quicker and easier money. I dont feel comfortable with it knowing what I know, he tells me to trust him but it is difficult. I remember him telling me how easy it is to receive them to take their clothes off and how turned on they receive when doing a session that way. He tells me I need to trust him and that I can be with him while he does it. I dont want to be invloved in this crap. He used to do security as a part time gig, he doesnt want to do it no more because it requires long hours of standing in the elements. I know my man needs the money, I am a full time student and a mom and dont have room for a fulltime job so I can only contribute so miuch. I am fine with him needing to work more but everything he prefers to do is sexually based. What would you do if you were in my shoes? Male or female?
