For TFP Photographers--My Artistic Vision

This is my guiding principle:  Sex should be fun! Modelling should be fun! 


I spent much of my life wishing my life and my body could be different.  Now I am in my 40's and I am finally getting the body I have been working for--I always wished I could be a model and now I am modelling for my hobby--and I am having the time of my life!  


I have always admired Bettie Page and the pin-up beauties of the 1940's for their beguiling combination of inviting sexuality and light-hearted fun.  I love the way these women are portrayed--comfortable with themselves, generous and inviting in their sexuality, beautiful and almost approachable but by definition still out of reach. I believe it was this joyful enthusiasm that Playboy was trying to capture when it named its centerfolds "Playmates." 


In all my pictures, I am trying to capture that playful quality.  Depending on the costuming and the theme of the set, I might be inviting the viewer "Let's play stripper--I'll tease you while I take my clothes off!" or "Let's play with whipped cream!" or "Let's play dress-up! I'll be the pirate . . . " or even "Let's play bondage!" Throughout everything, the general theme is, "Let's play!" 


After all, I'm playing "Supermodel"--why should I have all the fun?




Below is a little slide show of some interesting images I have collected.  As of today, most of the images are pin-up style.  Of course I am still interested in doing pin-ups! I will be adding to this collection and many other  styles will soon appear.


Here is a Model Mayhem list of more pictures I love!













A note about nudity: 


Most or all of the images I create through TFP agreements are destined for my Southern Charms site. Being on Southern Charms is kind of like living in a condo: You can do whatever you like with your own  space, so long as you follow the rules.    While SC is widely known as an amateur porn site, we Charms have complete creative control over our own pages. The only requirements are that we stay within the law and that we get nude at some point. That being said, please understand that I am not a porn model and I do not do porn on my site. I do Playboy-level nudes and implied nudes.  While I do full frontal nudity, I do not do spreads or pinks.  If you have any doubt about what this means, picture some of the great nudes you have seen in fine art. If you can't see it in an art museum,. you won't see it on my site.
