Thank you.
A while back someone asked me why I shoot nudes. At the time, I felt my answer was kitchy but I'll say it anyway:
shooting nudes is relaxing in a way that my job often is not. Clothing is stressful - does the garment look good, is she wearing it well, are their wrinkles or loose threads, etc. etc - whereas nudity is just a cute girl in front of the lens, grinning and giggling and doing stuff that you like to see cute naked girls do. Take note, ye would be nude photographers; if they are NOT grinning and giggling, it's YOUR fault, not theirs.
The majority of nude work I do ends up on tumblr or other blogs that are built specifically to generate site traffic. Consider that after a successful nude shoot gets posted to reddit (with permission), site traffic for me increases roughly 1500%. This is positive incentive for me to continue, and the models like hearing that too.
