before i look really old and haggard?
i have wanted for ages.
i still want.
i wonder how to go about it without
a) spending £10million
b) getting involved in the porn industry
c) ending up on the internet
d) being looked at on the internet by ds's teacher who i am convinced is the kind of man who gives his credit card to porn chat rooms.

answers please ladies!

you could try some reputable photo studios worth asking really btw i havent got semi naked whilst in labour with dd

sounds trez bizarre to me - i think nekkid photos are asking for trouble - just when you think its all safe one day you will die and your son or daughter will find a photo of your flange.

How about posing as a model for art classes? You might even get paid for it.

Isn't there a mnetter who does burlesque style photography, Spagblog??

Heathcliffscathy · 31/10/2007 22:29

i think you are perfectly reasonable

i will be back with names of agencies that will do this.

demonaid · 31/10/2007 22:30

Whereabouts are you? I'm a photographer and only charge £9 million or so...

thanks sophable. that'd be really good.
maybe i shoudl keep them in my head. i've already done a few naked photos but these are years ago, i don't have the photos and they are pre DCs/ My body is so different now, and i want it recorded in all its glory! just a weird thing i suppose.

If you don't have the photos you did before, who does?

kellybrook · 31/10/2007 22:35

the guy who took them i suppose. i;m not bothered really, i am not about to be in a girl band or get famous, so they will never be of value to him, they are not particularly explicit, just nudity, no sexy stuff, so i'm cool with it.

Heathcliffscathy · 31/10/2007 22:38

naked = beautiful

MrsLynetteScavo · 31/10/2007 22:38

I mean, to what extent tdo you want to be naked in the photos? Like the ones on "how to look good naked" , or just full on naked?

Original poster
kellybrook · 31/10/2007 22:39

i want it to be me, naked. not full on close up as ugly as can be naked, but nice, tasteful sexy me naked.
am i being an internet weirdo?!

OP posts:
demonaid · 31/10/2007 22:39

I'm in SW London, so that could be workable... depends on the sort of thing you want. Normally the closest I get to this is tasteful maternity shots, but I could imagine you're pregnant if sophable's agencies aren't quite what you're looking for.

demonaid do you normally do naked pregnant people?

OP posts:
demonaid · 31/10/2007 22:41

Generally if nude they are draped. But I can't show you examples as I haven't had a naked customer happy for me to include the shots in my portfolio yet.

I think you're not being unreasonable at all, and I'd love to have something similar for exactly the same reasons as you ..... something I can look back on in years to come and think "hey, I wasn't that bad". I want to do it before the menopause strikes, everything (possibly) falls to bits and while (maybe with a judicious bit of photo-shopping or what-have-you) I still think I look younger than I actually am. It's taken me nearly all my adult life to get to a place (in my head) where I can just about accept what I look like .... and kick myself now for having absolutely no self-confidence 20 years ago when I now know I had nothing to worry about. Hence I'd like to capture myself - something sexy, but not tacky, obscene, or conventional. "Tastefully erotic (or sensuous" is what I have in mind.

It'd be so encouraging to have an image of yourself which had been made properly ... I don't mean airbrushing .... but good lighting, good background, angles etc., by someone who knows what they're doing and can capture the best of you. The only photos I have of me are taken by DP or my Mum who really don't have the foggiest about composition, arranging the subject (me!) or anything. Consequently, I hate nearly every photo I have of myself where I look like an old frump. I want something that's the real me if that makes sense.

However, I also have exactly the same reservations as you .... I'm a very private person and these pictures would be for me and whoever I chose to share them with. I really enjoy looking at Flickr where some of the talent & imagination displayed there is phenomenal ..... but I'm not sure about the etiquette (or indeed safety) of emailing some strange (as in stranger) bod off the Net and offering to be their model ......

HonoriaGlossop · 31/10/2007 22:46

but....but.....where will you keep the photo/painting?
