Naughty nude model Liana Luck teasing with prints of her own photographs in Met Art set “Superfan” shot by Robert Graham
As a journalist I looked at the assignment board and written across the card was “art school model” and I asked what that story was. “He is looking for the viewpoint of a nude model,” he said. “Boss wants to find someone who will pose nude to get the perspective of a nude artist’s model. See just how they feel about doing it. How it feels? If they get embarrassed, excited, humiliated, whatever?”
“I’d guess,” I said. “You’d have be naked to be a nude model. I get that. I’ll do it,” I said, taking the card off the board. I took the assignment card in to the city desk and told the man sitting there I’d take the assignment.
“Last semester he had a male nude model cover himself with white alabaster paint,” one student said.
“Every day people appear naked in classrooms on campus all around the country for other people to draw pictures of. I wondered what kinds of people get naked for other people to study, so I volunteered to be a nude model for a day. Was I harmed emotionally because I let other people see my naked body. I don’t think so, but I guess we’ll find out. After all, I let people see my naked breasts, my bare bottom, even the hair over my vagina. I find even writing the word vagina has somewhat of a stigma to it.
