Figure in the Studio

A shoot with a young model who had never posed for nudes.  Nevertheless he photographed well and took direction.


The only glitch was that he had been over-zealous and inexpert with his "manscaping", shaving his chest smooth to an artificially straight line at his pubes, but leaving his arms and legs.  The result was somewhat disconcerting.


Unfortunately, this is typical of the inexperienced model.  Personally, I prefer everything to be left natural; I feel it photographs better, and looks less pre-meditated.  


More about that later.
