Cliff...I have a friend who shoots nude people on the streets of New York.
Although he has a "following" of people who will pose nude for him (for a
print of the shoot), he used to get his models from stripper bars. He would
talk to these women at the bars, and explain what he wanted to shoot. The
women were very responsive, as they are used to being naked in front of
people, and the fact that it was tasteful and not explicit. Everyone wants
to be "art". Please do not start a big ol' thread over that last comment.
After getting a portfolio fullof tasteful nudes, it is now a lot easier to
get people who are not in the biz to pose. People have even been walking by
, seen the shoot, and posed nude. As crazy as that sounds, Ive seen it
myself...Hope it helps...Mike

P.S...If you want to see his website of his images let me know. I dont have
the URL offhand, but I can find it..
