How do I ask a female if she's interested in posing for nude pictures without sounding creepy? |
I'm a photographer and currently in Iraq. I've run into a lot of Servicemembers interested in my work for a loved one or other personal reasons. I'd like to start my own business in glamour photography, but how do I approach without offending anyone? First of all you need to create an establishment of credentials. You don't want to just walk up to a lady, state you are a photographer and say you'd like to photograph her nude. Create an official business out of it. Have a website designed and create some business cards to show that you are more than just some creep off the road. On the business card state that you are a glamour / budoir photographer. Mainly because glamour isn't just nudes. It's a high impact style all by itself aimed at creating a bold feeling. Have clients who have appreciated your work spread the word around to start and offer an incentive to them. For every referral they bring your way, offer a free 8x10 good for any sitting. Word of mouth is the fastest and cheapest form of advertising out there. Once your name is slowly starting to spread. Work your occupation into the casual conversation. When someone asks to know more, hand them a business card. Don't persue the matter unless they ask more about it. Let them call you and then arrange a formal meeting to sit and discuss more details. Also - if you want to be professional, don't limit your clientel to females. You may not like it, but there are men out there (though a small percentage) that will want to have a photograph or two taken. some girls will want to take off their clothes... Tell them you are gay. the less creepy you act and the more professional you behave, the more serious and less creeped out the potential model would be. If you are talking about an artist or artist major, you are pretty likely to get a very direct answer, as an art major- they have probably had to model at some point in their schooling. They have hopefully worked with a model and know the distance that is there between the subject and the model... the objectification of the model-- but I'd be very careful, especially about the age of the person you are asking, no children, no teens that's called pornography. Good Luck, if you are needing this for a project ... call the scupltors intown they may know the models that are the most comfortable modeling nude. BOTTMOM LINE YOUR GOING TO OFFEND THE ONES THAT ARE NOT COMFORTABLE TO GET IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA. LOOK FOR THE REALLY HOT ONES AND LIE YOUR LITTLE A_ _ OFF. GOOD GAME SHOULD BE ALL IT TAKES. REMEMBER YOU WILL NEVER GET ANYWHERE OR TAKE ANY PICTURES IF YOU DON'T ASK. The only nude photo's of me were taken by my husband. I wouldnt feel comfortable getting my gear off in front of a stranger (professional or otherwise). I also pretty sure my husband wouldnt allow me to do it either. Kath & Kim |
