I'm a pretty good photographer and at one time hoped that someday I could take some photos of attractive women. I never really planned on doing nudes or necessarily even swimsuit or lingerie. The photo that I always wished I had taken was of a very attractive woman in khaki shorts, a blue and white striped blouse, and hiking boots standing with her back to a rock and a scenic view in the background. I saw it on an Oklahoma travel brochure. That kind of "babe and nature" shot appealed to me a great deal.
In the hopes that someday I would be able to take those shots, I bought books on photographing people. Most of the books had at least a section on nude, swimsuit, or lingerie photography. All of the writers emphasized that none of these forms of photography should be done with just photographer and model. A reputable photographer always has assistants to help with the process and to be witnesses that nothing inappropriate happens.
