Up to My Eyeballs in Nude Women
Foreword by Dean Capture
« Back
One of the hardest things about shooting nude models is…finding them! Here in Los Angeles where I live and work, I’m very lucky, there are modeling agencies that specialize in handling nude models. But this luxury is not afforded to most of the other cities around the world. For all of those other cities, you are holding in your hands the next best thing.
I have had the very unique privilege of shooting nude models for mens' magazines for years. Some of these models were experienced professionals… but many of them were new to modeling and had little to no experience. Had this book been available years ago when I first got started shooting nude models, it would have saved me hundreds of hours of frustration and headaches.
Even though I mostly use nude modeling agencies these days to hire the models that I photograph, I always keep my eyes peeled for opportunities to introduce new models to the business. Shooting nude models can be fun and rewarding but discovering a new model and introducing her to nude modeling, and helping her to launch her career is an even more rewarding experience. But make no mistake about it—it takes skill and experience to not only to find models but also to effectively communicate with them.
This book that you are holding is full of golden nuggets of information. Tips, tricks, and techniques that it takes years of experience to learn and master. A. K. Nicholas has done a wonderful job of explaining the ins and outs of what it takes to find, recruit, communicate and direct models.
Finding models who will pose nude for you doesn't have to be an exhausting, negative and drama-filled experience. With only a few simple techniques, you’ll be off and running. Everything that you need is in this book.
