Yep. Thats where she got the idea. She has just finished fighting cancer.
The basic idea is the same. But we intend to do it with a little twist.

Maybe play a little with different art icons. Place regular, but

I'm sure Taschen had a book called 1000 nudes, which would keep you, er, busy 
for a while.  But I can't find it.

2010-02-11 Thread paul stenquist
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.
