Well, of course we do. The advertising industry uses this as the basis for selling us things. And I'm sure that how attractive I find the model weighs in to how much time I'll spend looking at any particular photograph (not necessarily limited to nudes). I've only done nude photography once; a studio session with a group of photographers back in my university days. I'm not sure all the photographers even had film in their cameras ... I only considered two of my shots worth remembering; one was about the same pose as the 'flip' shot posted recently, although without the tutu; the other was a model's-eye-view of the cluster of photographers pointing cameras in her direction. Apart from that, I believe the only other 'figure study' I can recall was a shot I took on Bourbon Street when I was there for SIGGRAPH 2000. I intended to use the image as the thumbnail and/or low-key backdrop for a web page showing other shots from that trip (with the middle two zeroes of '2000' in the title being provided by the obvious features), but never got round to creating that gallery; in fact I'd forgotten it until my memory was jogged by the thread here about a trip to New Orleans. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
