Peace and Love,
P.W
Yes, I love shooting nudes. I have been working on my nude portfolio for over 15 years and it seems like it will never be finished. Personally, I do 90% of nudes in black and white film, but that’s just my preference. I won’t lie, if you’re shooting women it will always be more difficult for you as a man… women can be weary of posing nude for male photographers because there are so many creepy weirdos out there.
You could start by asking your friends to pose for you and if they say no, you could always try self-portraits. I find that showing your subjects nude self portraits shows them that you are also willing to do what you are asking them to do - which is to be completely vulnerable in front of the camera. It’s about making the person feel comfortable. On the same note, you need to make sure that during the shoot your model feels as comfortable as possible. I usually do nude shoots on a closed set with as few people present as possible.
Finding your nude voice takes time and practice. The more you shoot, the better you will get ;)
