Would you or have you been a nude model?

Was it for fun or money?

 

I've tooken nude photos with my husband if that counts, lol j/k...
I thought about doing it a while back before I had a baby.

 

What does having a baby do to your body exactly? I'm curious.

 

Having a baby changes your body, it's not always easy to get back to the way you were before, if that's what you want. Some women aren't confident.

 

i did it a lot back when i was going to art school. I posed for this one guy who used me as Eve in this neo-classical/dadaist series he did. I also posed for a lot of friends who just needed a body, and had several of them pose for me in return.

It didn't/doesn't bother me at all... as long as it remains in the "artistic arena" and doesn't become "sexual".... meaning the mind set and motive.. not the art itself. The art can be sexual, but the situation can remain purely artistic. The only time i ever left the place i was posing without allowing the work to be finished was when the artist tried to sleep with me. Posing was just art business.

The Eve series I was paid cash for. Random posing was just done in trade usually (we were 9 "artists" living together in a house.. so someone always needed a model). The art photography posing I did was a swap for free darkroom time/chemicals.

 

Well I've heard that it changes her body, that's why I asked what exactly happens?

 

in 1965 playboy representatives came to our high school. i can't remember her name but hugh hefner's girlfriend at the time was a senior there. they approached me about modeling but told me i would have to get my parents signature. i was very nieve in those days and only 16 years old. i took the authorization paper to my parents, and thankfully they refused to sign it. i knew other girls that did pose for playboy and it wasn't the great experience that they thought it would be. i have also known women who had porn pictures taken by boyfriends and then the boyfriends sent the pics into porn magazines without the women's approval. i'm glad i never did any of that it can come back to bite you in the ass.

hey rigamorale
to answer your question about how a woman's body can change after childbirth. i think if you take care of yourself, exercise, don't gain too much weight, eat healthy that a woman can get back to her normal size after having a child. when i had my kids back in the 60's and early 70's they thought that exercising, except walking, wasn't good for you, so it was easy to get flabby. sometimes a woman's breasts can get saggy, especially if they are very large, and sometimes you can get stretch marks, but using a thick vitamin e oil and rubbing on your tummy through out the pregnancy can help eliminate stretch marks. i got some vericose veins, cause in the 60's we still used to wear high heels all through our pregnancy, that is not good too much pressure on your legs, but now even minor surgery can take care of that. i have seen women at my gym working out through their whole pregnancy and look incredible after they deliver. i looked really good after each child i had, i always got back down to my normal weight. it's really important for women to use a good supportive bra during pregnancy too. and it helps to breast feed to bring your breasts back to their normal appearance. i've gotten a little heavier over the years due to a bad back problem, got hit by a drunk driver, but then again i'm 58 years old too. but before the accident i jogged 2 miles every day and always kept myself in good shape. my breasts did get saggy but then i like the natural look, burned my bra in 73 at a feminist protest, haven't worn one since then and my husband digs the way i look, so if you love your woman support her after child birth it takes a while to get your shape back, but then can you imagine having a hugh water mellon in your stomach for 9 months, we women really go through it, but it's worth it to hold a brand new baby in your arms. hope this helps. any other questions, i'm here for ya

Wife and I both posed at UALR school of Art back in the broke days. It was fair money but dog that is hard work. I only did it a few times then went back to unloading boxcars for Manpower. Beth stayed with the modeling thing for almost 6 months though. You earn your money doing that. However, it helped us get through school. We were both at another collage. They would/will not let students model at their own school.

 

I modeled in college...never photography just watercolors and drawing. It was funny my first day my friend was modeling in the next room and at the break he came over to tape where I was so I could return to the pose after break, it was an intro class-he too was posing for an intro to drawing class. He said that after class I should go look at the drawings, that in my class the men would make me look like Venus and the women would draw me like their grandmother and the reverse for his class...I was sooo funny, he was right...in his class the men didn't even draw his penis and the women made him look like a porn star....

On the post pregnancy question...at 43 and two kids (11 and 3 y/o) I'm stronger and in better shape now than anytime except for when I was training to be a professional bodybuilder (I never did..that much focus on the outside self made me uncomfortable) Not that I'm perfect, I have stretch marks and a little belly I still need to lose but I'm very strong and healthy and feel great naked in my own skin, flaws and all. Oh I forgot there is one nude photo of me...8 months pregnant....I love this photo.

 

ive posed nude for myself (self portraits )ans allso for another shooter.ive shot allot of other modles nude tho.

frog

 

the only reason I wouldn't is because I have a few stretch marks on my boobs from breast feeding... I'm still pretty darn confident, I just think most men wouldn't want to see stretch marks...

 

I've had a lot of experience drawing nude models, and though I've never been one, I have contemplated it a few times. I'm really comfortable with my body, so I don't think I'd have too much trouble.

 

no issues doing it, and yes i've done it a few times. for photography for pay and for just trade of CD's of the images.

 

Yes, I have been a nude model more then a couple times for people. My best girlfriend is an art major and I have always been willing to help out for the sake of art. I got paid cash for most of those.
I have also done nude photography (see gallery) but that was for me and my partner. we made an albumn of us....it's beautiful! (And it was all free cause the photographer was a friend of mine)

 

I couldnt stay still long enough

 

Really? You? Huh, never would've guessed it!

 

lol, would like to, but it would drive me mad staying still for too long, id get itches n stuff and get figity

 

ya, I suppose that could happen. But no one ever was mad at me when I had an itch or had to move slightly. Try it again sometime Ash, you have a great body!

 

Thanks, posing for photos is fine but anything longer I dunno, anyways rather be the one painting and drawing a model
