Posing nude for a cause has become almost a cliche. Numerous groups have done books and calendars since a group of Yorkshire women who did a calendar were immortalized in a movie about seven years ago. See:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendar_Girls
In terms of shooting the nudes, I'd just look into some good books on figure photography. There are thousands of them out there. Go to a book store and thumb through a few until you find something that answers your questions. They take a variety of approaches. In the end, it's just about good subtle light. Avoid hot spots and hard light. Retouch those zits! You're probably fine just using your instincts. Paul On Feb 11, 2010, at 8:01 AM, Tim Øsleby wrote: > This message never showed up on the list.
