Making A Beginning In Nude Photography
By Tim Bock
Nude photography suffers from the stigmatization of easily accessible pornography, and many people don't distinguish between the two.

When you get ready to approach someone about modeling for your nude photography, make sure you have a portfolio ready. If you don't have any nude photography experience yet, include the best of your still lifes and portraits.

Make sure with a signed "model release" that your nude photography model is over 18. The release can also stipulate other agreed-upon issues, such as publishing limitations and whether to release the model's name. Make certain your nude photography doesn't violate city ordinances.
