I love black-and-white nude photography, both male and female. The pose, the lighting. Not in a sexual sense, but definitely a sensual one. There's something timeless about it, primal. Plain nudity is just, well... plain.

Ive drawn from live nude models, I work with images of beautiful women daily. I draw nudes first and then add cloths. There is nothing more beautiful than a nude female body. Some arouse and others I just enjoy but they are all beautiful in some ways...

What works for me is nudity that means something, or has a special connection to me. Looking at nude bodies or nudity in magazines, etc. does not do it. When I used to shoot nudes, I always did it in B&W. I can think of some scenarios where the introduction of color may be great, especially special when nature is incorporated into the portrait.

Tony, that really depends on the mood Im in. I usually like artistic nudity, as in paintings, sculpture, and photgraphy. I dont care so much for raw, in your face close-up crotch shots...its ok in some cases, but I prefer an air of mystery. I want to fantasize about whats under the cover:)

One thing about taken a nude photo of your self or any one else, they see you as you really are..............

Not for me, I love the male body I think it is beautiful. I am very aroused by it I realize that many women may not feel that way, but I always have. Let me be clear I'm not refering to a shirtless man :)

Total or part, love to see and hello love to be Nude.
