  1. As a serious photographer of art models ( https://www.gsphotoguy.com ), mostly from Model Mayhem, I appreciated the way all of you took seriously the topic of fashion photography, particularly the discussion of finding and working with models.

    I liked Ali’s candor when talking about how to work with a model doing fashion or posing nude. When I began this exploration in 2008 that was one of the things that surprised me the most, that models who do that kind of work have no problem being nude and that they appreciate photographers who speak with them politely and directly. I have found that asking direct questions, with proper terminology, on limits or if a particular angle or pose is acceptable is never cause for conflict. I also enjoyed hearing about Lucas’ path to get to where he is now and about Jeff’s amazing studio. If I lived in LA I’d be in touch about rental.

    I think it might be interesting for TWIP to discuss this more, especially for those photographers who might want to work with the nude but have never had that experience. There are quite a number of highly articulate experienced photographers and art models who might be interested in speaking about the good, and unfortunately bad, experiences they have had.
