Would you pose naked?

[Ms Grace]

Having been a student in a life drawing course I can say it is all pretty mundane for the model. A few quick poses and then some that need to last for twenty minutes or so... quite difficult if the pose requires balance or concentration. Also, you really want to have a warm room in the cooler months!

I've considered it in the past before transition but felt extremely self conscious. I was however in a Spencer Tunick group nude shoot at the Sydney Opera house five years back...

Yes just depends I guess, I really would like to have my beauty captured pre-op and then do it again post op with a photographer. I think it'd be pretty awesome to have pics of myself done in an artsy way. I don't know if I would share it with the world tho. In terms of something public, depending on what the project was for I'd do it

So THAT'S why you looked familiar!

Posing in the same position for long periods can make you pretty sore. I've not done it, but I've heard many models try to take a non-prescription pain medication before a posing session. Of course, this is one type of job you can easily practice at home on your own beforehand.

I did it once as a boy. I got paid $50, but I had to bring a pair of men's underwear to the set, of which I had none. So make that a $40 profit. That money came and went, but those photos are forever. I don't mind.

About six months after starting hormones, a friend did a topless photo shoot of me for an upcoming book he's putting together about disenfranchised members of the LGBT community. He thought it was neat juxtaposing my breasts and my femininity with my then-broken wrist in a cast. This shoot was for free, because not only is he one of my very best friends, he also let me stay at his house for a month and a half when I had nowhere to go!

And I just noticed that both photographers are gay men. Go figure.

I'm not the standard for all girls here and I'm not rich but having turned to online webcammodeling in the trans area of those sites paid off quite well for me. I now make 30-40$ an hour while going on cam. Not that much but it adds up. After an evening I would already have made 100+$ . I'm setting everything aside for my chirurgical treatments I intend to undergo.

I'm not sure I ever would, but you never know. Hugs

No, I have always been to shy to pose naked at any age.   At 68 it's pointless.

I don't know that I would pose for photos but I stood topless in front of a room full of people at Gender Odyssey when I was 16 days post-op. The embarrassment about my chest is gone.
