Oh totally, yeah. ;-) Smirking aside, it was a marvelous and enlightening experience. These women are self assured and very comfortable in their skin and bodies. As a result I was perfectly comfortable moving around them, carefully composing shots and absolutely _not_ feeling like a complete perv. I spent the weeks leading up to this event wondering just how I'd behave, and the last thing I expected was a calm, contemplative detachment. But not disinterested. What attracts me to the idea of pinups is that they are not asexual nude figure studies. There is a layer of eroticism there, and I want to capture that. As a guy, I need to react to the presence of an attractive nude or almost nude woman in front of me, but remain detached enough to get good shots. > If you can learn to make shots like that with amateur models you could > probably make a decent living out of boudoir photography.
