For many years I photographed models in the genre of artistic nude or art nude (take your pick) I have to say that in recent months I have stopped for many reasons that are not worth mentioning. I seems to me that naturist would fall into two major groups. The first would be absolutely against having images created whilst naked and the second almost demanding the attention. I say this as I have been reading through the forums and there appears to be these two basic groups throughout the naturist community. There does not appear to be much in the middle ground of not bothered either way. I may be completely wrong of course.
I can't say I'm that bothered about it. I never used to have any photos of myself but since I've started enjoying naturism more fully, I do like to have some snaps of me enjoying myself [also I take some selfies to check on how I'm doing physically]

I think I meant more posed type shots as opposed to snaps. Don't get me wrong I love snap shots they are fun and preserve memories. But I also think a good clean well taken photograph can be emotive beautiful or elegant.
Am I allowed to post an example?
I kinda realised that just after I posted. I don't think the difference just applies to naturists - some people like posed shots, others like 'snap' shots. I've seen some really good artistic posed shots but never felt inclined to have one myself [think that'd be pushing any photographer's abilities rather too far!]
I think you're allowed to add examples as long as they comply with the site rules - one of the mods would be able to answer that

Thank you I will try it now.
An example of my work.
interesting rock formation - obviously I barely looked at the model [pun intended]

Oddly I cant see it oh yes I can. sorry
Ok back on subject. Would this style of work appeal to naturists or not?
Personally I don't see why not - it's just most of us probably aren't quite as interesting models. No-one else seems to have been interested in this topic though

It appeals to me; sadly, unless you leave the lens cap on, I am nothing like as photogenic as your model.
Have fun,

Coaster .... superb photo and example of the genre.
