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.
