Photographer To Naked Models: "Do It Yourself"

Dashiell Bennett — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 10:39:51 EDT

We're big fans of the DIY ethic, mostly because whenever our bosses ask us to stay a little late and put in some extra work our response is usually, "Do it yourself!" But there's a different kind of DIY that we're also fans of, and it's in the same style as the homemade self-sufficient photography that made MySpace famous. Photographer Uwe Ommer devoted a whole book to the self-shot naked portrait, helping his models to create nude photographs that they snapped on their own. Ommer obviously lent a helping hand with the setup and lighting, so the results are miles above the pouty-look-in-the-mirror snapshots that are a staple of social networking profile pics. But the concept remains the same—leave a beautiful girl alone with a camera and see what she can create. We don't want to ruin the surprise for you, but it's pretty hot.

Another day, yet another user generated content-based site featuring a bunch of amateur exhibitionists strutting, pouting, and yes, posing for the camera. You'd think we'd be tired of this sort of thing by now, but the newish Pose Party reminds us what's so special about smut in the digital age to begin with, what with its clean layout, enthusiastic (if not always grammatical) commentary, and selection of pics we haven't already seen on a bajillion other amateur sites before. There's a particular emphasis on the MILF-y and the BBW-y, so if you're looking for nothing but lissome coed types flashing their boobs on Spring Break you might want to look elsewhere. Good thing you have plenty of other places to look.
