I personally like nude photography, obviously when it’s ‘tasteful’. I mean I don’t remember the exact time, maybe because it wasn’t really a big deal to me. It depends heavily on who and what you are posing for. I think I just got to a stage where I felt comfortable enough to pose nude. When did you first pose topless and was it a personal decision, or one made by your agency? Saying that, I know it happens… I guess I was lucky. I’m not really the kind of person who would do something I didn’t want to. If someone ever made me feel uncomfortable I would never do it. But I knew it was what the photographer, etc, wanted in order to get the shot. I’ve never really felt ‘pressured’ per se into posing nude. Doing your first show at 15 and being expected to stand in nothing but a tiny skin colored g-string while people dress you in a room full of male models is pretty strange. Personally, it never really bothered me but I can see how it might be confronting for some. Most of the stylists are women and they usually dress you, so that helps. I think after a while I just got used to being nude in front of people I’d just met. People expect, because you’re model I guess, you must be comfortable showing your body to everyone. Models are definitely expected to be comfortable being naked. A lot of the time you are expected to change in front of people on set, be comfortable stripping off in line while changing looks for a show, change outfits in cars, on beaches etc… Most of the time people are pretty considerate but in saying that, you are expected just to get on with it and do your job and make it fast. What are your experiences with nudity in fashion photography? Have you ever felt pressured into posing nude?
