Would You Pose Nude for Art?

[Andros art of masculinity]

My twin brother and I are identical artists and photographers. Our work primarily focuses on celebrating the muscular male form, which we believe is truly underappreciated in art today. We create art from the photos we take, which we call "creatography," aiming to showcase the beauty, strength, and diversity of the male physique.

Here's our question for you:

If an artist like us asked you to pose nude, would you consider it?

We suffer from extreme social anxiety, so it's really difficult for us to approach anyone to ask this question. We tend to come off as really nervous, which might make it hard to convey our artistic vision. We understand this might not be for everyone, but we're curious to hear your thoughts. What would influence your decision - comfort level, the artistic purpose, or perhaps the trust in the artists themselves?

Looking forward to your insights!

I posed in front of a class of strangers. I was very nervous, but the fact that it was basically anonymous helped. It was “classy”, just me on a stool. There were other people that posed in the same room.

It was kind of a dare but more in the “you should try this” kind of dare rather than egged on. It was a very safe and reputable place. I don’t think I’d do it again, mostly because I’m married, but I see the value for art.

I think for you to find models, you HAVE to present the safety (not just physical safety). Take it as far away from a possible porn/wank material shoot as you can. If potential models see it as art and you as an artist, you should have plenty of people willing.

Have a real life art display if you are good and tasteful someone might offer as a model.

I have done, a long time ago now.
It's actually not that easy keeping still for so long.

I am a part time life model. Pictures from my modelling profile are in my gallery plus pictures of the body casting work I've done. The penis cast was exhibited at an erotic art show in London.

I would, for women exclusively. Though I guess on some level I appreciate a general celebration of the male form, men in general have never made me feel self conscious about it, the question has always been one of function....honestly I think the only demographics that have yet to express a true appreciation for the diversity of the male form are women, as such I would love to be part of their self initiative to appreciate the broadness of the male form, as I would hope it would start to mirror the broad appreciation men both profess and actively demonstrate for the female forms entire spectrum.

 

[hokejka19]

Yes, I would......

 

[MPete]

I would, but I think I'd need to get to know the photographer(s) first; get to know what image they're going for. Something about it being with someone you know (better than a complete stranger, anyway) makes it more intimate and interesting to me. And I know it's for the art and everything, but I think if there was any attraction at all to the person behind the camera, it would add a whole other level of exciting tension to the experience. Sounds fun.

I have posed for various artists and also love drawing handsome men, either in person or online. I'd be less comfortable posing nude for photos.

Some 30 years ago and some 40kg less i posed nude for the twin sister of my back then gf. She was an erotic style photographer

I do pose as a nude model for a local art college. It takes a bit getting used to but is quite liberating as well

If i could i would

 

[BetterFuture]

I would pose nude for an artist. I always thought those guys who got to pose nude for a classroom of artists were lucky.

 

[ZuhayrKhan27]

Yes ofcourse I would love to

 

[bredrbull]

I started posing naked for photographers at 20 (65 now) and loved it. Also posed for art classes. But I don't know that I'd do it today, even though I stay in good shape. Too concerned with net privacy.

 

[XaxBells]

I would for sure

art

Sadly my dad body is not worthy of a piece of art...

I did 30+ years ago when my body was in great shape. A photography student who lived in my building asked if I'd pose for him for a project. I agreed to do it as long as my face was never shown. The pictures turned out great. He made my body look much more amazing than it actually was, and the guy went on to become a pretty successful commercial photographer.

I have before. It's awesome.
