We should be helping each other, not hurting each other

John Moore Creative Photography . There are so many models here who would do Fashion or portraits (including myself), but when all we see in castings and Games groups and General chat about photography etc, all that we see are nude works, or topics regarding nudity.

MaristarOxley I should say your fashion type shots are amazing by the way, I totally love them! im quite fascinated by them tbh. it's defo my kinda thing.

CalmNudes I have done many shoots in tye last two years but can't be bothered to post much as there is no value. So I just shoot for fun and shoot with models I have a connection with these days, and try various lighting techniques. Can't take it serious anymore really, so limited cash goes on what i enjoy shooting. Models love what we create and enjoy fun shoots with me, that will do me.

parkway that's very kind of you. I love Fashion photography ever since 1978 😜 ( it's true though) and it's an endless supply of inspiration for me.

I've grown weary of posting here too, and shoot what I enjoy as well. I can't disagree with what you've said here, but what I responded to above simply wasn't rooted in fact.

Not really the best place to be looking for fashion/clothed work I would have thought.

Plenty available through Facebook and Instagram?

I don't only shoot nude models by the way...   ;)

I shot Fretters last year, and Petrova seven years ago.
Both exceptional models.

I do try not to make a habit of it, unless it's commercial work (and those models don't come from or get shown on PP).

MaristarOxley you stated the group was about creating a positive place , yet you are moaning about nude photography castings.

parkway there were definitely great times for me in 1978, but it, for sure was not a great time in general.

parkway London is quite a way from Exeter, but if /when you're in town, do reach out.

Huw But this site is not a nude platform. It's for all genres. It's very easy to essentially say look somewhere else for fashion, because it's not here. We should be seeing a wide variety of genres here.

Lenswonder that's your take on it. I'm not moaning. If you find I'm moaning, that's not the case.

Huw I am telling you what I observe. It's not moaning.

I see mainly male photographers commenting on this chat but that's not moaning about it. It's stating what I am seeing.

MaristarOxley it's not my take it's what you've typed and anyone can read.

The thread is about fashion castings Vs nude castings with the idea of a positive coming together thrown in, though I'm not sure why. You could have made two separate threads because it's entirely two separate subjects.

The site is not a nude only photography site true but in everything there is a side that becomes greater or mainstream. It just happens nudity won out. Same can be said for tfp Vs pay issue , for supposedly positive framed thread you have brought up a somewhat divisive issue.
