I’m sometimes asked, “Why is the model nude;” occasionally it’s phrased “why is the model naked?”

Here is a list of fun responses I’ve given. Many apply to most of my images, while others apply to only some of my images. Enjoy

1. She was born that way
2. I find it more interesting that way
3. That’s what she wanted
4. That’s what I wanted
5. That’s what almost everyone except you wanted
6. She’s beautiful
7. Because I wasn’t interested in photographing clothing, jewelry, or hair wraps at the time
8. Why not?
9. Because I don’t live in Saudi Arabia (any more)
10. Nudes have been the subject of artists  for millennia; the oldest artwork (22,000 B.C) is a nude female statue. Why stop now just become some prude is cruising the internet to comment on nude photos?
