How-to Recruit and Direct Nude Models, and Build Working Relationships
This is a mostly-text adaptation of the book “Up to My Eyeballs in Nude Women”. Frontal nude and topless photos have been removed due to distribution restrictions.
Do you ever wonder how photographers are able to find beautiful women to pose nude for them?
This book offers clear and effective techniques on how to approach women and recruit them as nude models. These proven methods, rooted in the science of psychology, have succeeded with hundreds of female models. Through understanding the right language, harnessing a variety of internet technologies, and discovering the art of professional relationship building, you can cultivate a model-recruiting machine.
This is for the serious beginner, the curious non-photographer, and even the moderately experienced photographer who needs a better grasp of recruiting and working with nude models. Understanding this book does not require comprehension of photographic technique.
Many photographers spend countless hours seeking advice on how to find quality nude models and how to direct them in the studio. Too many photographers make initial contact with a model, only to be frustrated when she never follows through by booking a shoot. This guide addresses finding models and building a long-term working relationship. The author’s assumption is that those who read this book are doing so largely because they want to photograph more suitable models more often. Recruiting and interacting with models is not as difficult as it may seem. Working with nudes can be easy. It is a common misconception that those of us who recruit women for nude modeling possess some kind of secret power.
Photographing nudes entails more than just photographic technique; this guide is about the interpersonal and psychological elements that play a larger role here than in any other kind of people photography. Some photographers fail, only because they’re ignorant of the etiquette of working with models. With luck, it will help you avoid missteps that many photographers commonly repeat. The author has photographed several hundreds of nude models, each of whom has come to him through one of the techniques described in this book.
You'll create a portfolio to attract models and avoid common pitfalls and misconceptions about the way to display your images on the web. It will give you some simple tips on finding models without wasting your money on needless efforts.
This guide is for those who are having trouble finding the special models that will take your work to the next level. It also does not assume that you automatically know how to bring up the subject of nude shoots or etiquette for the studio. You will learn how to start a shoot, direct the model, and how to close the shoot. This includes handling payment and the model release. Not just any model release works for nude photos. The purpose of this guide is to fill those gaps with precise, in-depth advice.
This guide focuses only on recruiting and working with models. Discussions of cameras and lights are absent; there are plenty of other books for that. Instead, this one is specifically about creating and maintaining a sound working relationship between photographer and model within the context of creating beautiful figure work.
Some treatments of this subject are through rose-colored sunglasses, avoiding controversial topics altogether. Glossing over some of the more awkward aspects of working with models, such as difficult personalities, leaves the reader confused and unprepared. This book gives you the clear, unfiltered story by addressing contentious aspects and advising you of potential pitfalls. Things usually go smoothly, but not by chance. Sometimes you need to know how to prevent problems before they occur.
There are plenty of models out there waiting for you to photograph them. This book will help you find them, work with them in the studio, and build a solid professional relationship.
