This is such an amazing story that I really don't expect you to believe it... I know I wouldn't if I hadn't been part of it.
It all started when an old High School friend happened to stop in my photo studio looking for someone to take a photo of his wife for the desk in his office. We were both surprised by the coincidence that brought him into my studio.
We had been good friends in High School, but had not seen each other in years.
It was late afternoon when John came in, so I closed up shop and we went to the Sports Bar across the street for a few beers while we caught up on each other.
John and I had been good friends in High School. I was sort of like his wing man since he dated a lot and I was pretty shy with the women.
I was in the chess club and the photography club and did not draw much attention from anyone.
After high school I went to a local junior college and majored in photography. I was lucky to get in with a bunch of guys with the same interests (centered around girls and how to get them naked and into bed) and we had some great adventures. I learned a lot about photography and about girls/women. It turns out that when a "legitimate" photographer asks a woman to model for him, they are far more receptive than I ever thought, and the right kind of flattery would often lead to nude "art" sessions. Those sessions often led to sessions where a camera was not involved...
I learned from the oldest member of our group, a confirmed bachelor and almost old enough to be a dirty old man how to use a woman's ego about her looks to seduce her. Praise of her beauty by a professional photographer, who should know a thing or two about beauty, combined with gentle requests to pose for some "artistic" pictures, gets almost any woman moving in the direction of more erotic pictures, followed by erotic activity...
I had learned and perfected through trial and error a simple process.
1) provide wine to help with nerves about posing for photos
2) keep a lot of tasteful nude and semi nude "artsy" photos on display for "atmosphere"
3) start with a routine photo session... dressed in nice clothing in formal poses to make the usual packages of 8x10s, wallet size, etc
4) praise the beauty of the subject and compliment her on how much "the camera likes her" and how well she moves
5) more wine and praise of her beauty... with the praise focusing more on her body
6) suggest additional photos in less formal costume
7) more wine and praise
8) make sure she sees tasteful artsy photos during breaks and talk about how they started as regular photo shoots
9) have some lace or partly transparent blouses available and suggest them for the informal shoot
10) mention your more erotic portfolios just in passing and imply that is probably not for her etc.
The most important ingredient is a slow and careful transition from sterile photos to mildly interesting ones to moderately risquΓ© to erotic
So, when John told me that his wife Chris was a knockout, but shy, I became very interested.
When he told me that he had been working to get her to show off her body, I was surprised, but I asked if he wanted me to help with that, since I had some experience with partially dressed models.
