How Does One Take Naked Pictures Of Girls?

If someone plopped a camera in your hands and said, "Go out on the street, meet women, and ask them if you can photograph them naked," how would you react? Would you hem and haw and hand the camera back, or would you boldly charge into the street and prepare your face for punches? Dutch photographer Richie Lopez has some methods, but mostly, he lets the camera do the work for him.

In an interview with Vice, Lopez says, "Normally you can't just walk up to people in the street and ask them to tell you their life story, but you can with a camera. That's the beauty of it, the freedom--the people you meet and the doors that open for you. Now that I think about it, I have no idea why I didn't start photography 10 years ago." Sure, you run the risk of being that creepy dude asking to take everyone's picture, and unless you phase your approach just right, you're only adding to the amount of harassment on the street, but there's definitely something positive about Lopez's tone, and we can't deny the magic door-opening powers of the camera. It seems exploratory and yet sleazy, and we love that combo.
