not the studio fine art sooo overdone they all look the same nudes. Not some woman in cheezy lingere sitting by a window.

I have this (what I think is great) idea in my head of a mix of my favorite artists; Dali, Magritte, Spencer Tunick, LaChapelle.. I love the craziness in their work, the surreal images… things that just don’t make any sense. I also love the feelings that nudes bring up and I don’t mean being perverted but how sensual a nude photo is. How calming it is.

I don’t know maybe I’m just a freak.. but I have always wanted to be a fashion photographer and have recently come very very close to reaching this goal when I have a sort of “light” turn on in my head saying this is what I want to photograph, NUDES!

Not so easy, every female model pro or not wants cash and LOTS. Then on the male response side I get a TON of dirty emails and lots of photos of guys naked holding their penis like some sort of prize.. WTF???

Isn’t there anyone out there that can see the value of art anymore?

I’m not a pervert, I’m married, I have three children and want them to be proud of my work when they grow up not ashamed.

My wife supports my ideas and dreams, my friends are willing to pose for me.. but that’s two people and I want/need hundreds of photos.

I wish I knew where to start, how to get taken serious and how to find people willing to pose nude without expecting cash. I am offering a 16×20 Archival print of the final piece..

Where am I going wrong?
