An Unwilling Subject

Last night, a friend of mine asked me a favor. He's into photography at the moment and he wants to use me as a subject. I thought, I once wanted to become a model so why not "try" it. The "scene's" running through my head was the typical "me-looking-at-the-camera-with-a-smile" pose. The "pa cute" type. A far cry from my very ordinary looks. Anyways, we came into this "studio" where there are umbrellas and stuffs. I don't know what they're called although I took a basic course in Photography back in college. I was a little surprised when I saw an unmade bed in the middle of the "stage". Excuse my term for I really know nothing about photography.

But what took me aback was when my friend asked me to strip all my clothes off! Before I could even utter a word, he said "Look, sex sells. I can't afford to hire a model! Now, if you think that my would-be shots are tasteless, fine! I'm not going to open up this studio!"....

What I can't stand the most are people who loves overdoing the dramatics. Even if I belong to that group, doesn't mean I like my "kind". I know if I don't "pose" a la nude, I'll never hear the end of it. And I bet he'll make sure that I never forget it! ...

Here's a sample of the "session" we've had..




And to be clear, I dont't have a buff bod nor trying to have one... I simply wasn't breathing during the shoot. Now what can you say? Not about the subject though. Look at the pic as a whole. Is it tasteless? You think my friend should give up photography? ÜÜÜ
