My series, Sharon Finds Erotic Photography, Chapters 1 to 8, appears in Loving Wives. Each 5000 word installment features Sharon's sexual exploration after a glamour photo shoot unleashes her inner self. Chapters 1, 4, and 7 in particular feature her rampant exhibitionism during erotic modelling sessions with Joannie, her photographer. However, this story includes any necessary background for context.

Public Posing
It had to be the most exciting thing that she had ever done!
Sharon was literally shaking inside as the lights came up and a dozen phone cameras flashed. It was almost blinding. So bright that she could scarcely see that most of her sleek body was exposed to all the people assembled not far in front of her. She could hear a rising murmur of commentary as the cameras continued to flash.
"Look this way."
"What a body!"
"Show us more!"
Joannie had told her to expect this and cautioned them to be quiet. But it still seemed overwhelming to be so exposed to so many strangers in public. And this was just the beginning! What would it be like when she started to remove what little she already wore? And then there was the next day still to come. That's when Sharon began to wonder if she had got herself in too deep this time. But, the show must go on. Too late for second thoughts about decisions made two months ago.

Sharon was an attractive, green-eyed blonde, a thirty-five-year-old mum. She was of medium height, with long legs and a very nice chest. Her tits were rounded, in perfect proportion to the rest of her shape. Sharon had been married to Mark for a dozen years, and with hard work had managed to keep her trim figure after two children, now early school age.
A part-time junior administrator at a seniors' residence, in recent months she had become a photographer's assistant, volunteering one day each week in exchange for two erotic photo shoots monthly.
It was an unusual arrangement, one which stemmed from a glamour shoot which Sharon had done as a birthday surprise for her husband. During the session, the photographer, had drawn her out in ways that Sharon had never expected.
Part way through the shoot, Joannie had suggested some erotic black-and-whites, and by the end Sharon had agreed. As the photographer coaxed her through it with seductive words and tone, the model had let herself be drawn into another world. A massive orgasm had marked the culmination of that afternoon.
Sharon wanted more exploration of this inner self, and made the unusual help-for-photography arrangement with the photographer. In the following months, she met a professional swimwear model, Liana, who had helped coach her through her second erotic photo session.
Two weeks later, Sharon and Liana had practically made love for Joannie's camera in a searing girl-girl shoot. Since then, she had done several solo sessions for the camera, some of them outdoors in quiet, scenic places. The photographer began to hang framed enlargements of Sharon's erotic photos in the studio and her office.

That brings us to the present. Why did Sharon find herself standing half-naked in front of a small crowd of photographers?
It started a conversation about two months after she had first posed for Joannie. Photographer and assistant were relaxing over coffee between client appointments. Joannie wanted to ease Sharon into a proposal that she had in mind. She hoped to interest her studio model in something out of the ordinary.
"Sharon, I have been getting so many positive comments about your photos in here. And women asking if I could do the same for them. Business is picking up in the studio now, really picking up."
"Glad to hear it. Anybody I know?" And Sharon laughed, because she knew from her own experience that discretion was key to a successful erotic photo operation.
"Actually, you probably do. Maybe you'll be assisting on one, but the city is large enough that it won't likely happen."
"You never know though. One of the kid's teachers? Now wouldn't that be something!"
They had a few more laughs and then Joannie became a bit serious.
"Sharon, have you noticed changes in me since we began to work together as photographer and model?"
"Definitely! You've upped your game. I mean, you seem more put-together and confident than my first impressions."
Joannie was about forty and had divorced many years before. The studio was about all she had in her life- no family, limited friends, nothing but her cat. Once reasonably attractive, she had let herself go, fretting about her struggling business more than herself.
Now, she had begun to take more time with her appearance, perhaps measuring herself against the high standard her assistant always met. At the same time, Joannie became very proficient with erotic photography, and her confidence seemed to grow along with her skills.
"Yes, I feel very good these days, Sharon. Good enough to try something new, with your help, of course."
"Oh. And what is that?"
"The annual photographer's convention is coming up in two months in the capital. I'd like to present a workshop. If you're agreeable, I'd also like to sell framed copies of some of your shots?"
"I don't see why not, as long as enough of my face is hidden to protect my privacy."
Sharon had discovered that she had a very strong exhibitionist streak. Having strangers buy her nude black-and-whites was much more exciting than Joannie could ever imagine!
"Good. Here's the other part. I'd like you to come with me for the weekend. We'd room together and I'll pay all your expenses. But, before you agree, there's something you need to know. I want to offer a workshop about getting started in erotic photography. And I want you to appear it in as my studio model."
"What would I do, Joannie?" Sharon had replied, with a tone of concern.
"I've been thinking about something with high impact. I would talk about some basics for erotic photography, then the participants could take some photos of you in poses I'd lead you through."
"You mean nude? In public like that? I don't know, Joannie. I'd like to say yes, but...."
"Not nude. This would be in a convention centre. But in suggestive lingerie. Perhaps a half dozen different poses, all erotic but none of them completely nude."
"How 'not completely nude' do you mean?"
"Your breasts, yes, but your vagina, no."
"I'm glad to hear that something is private! I'd have to think about it. And, give me the convention dates so I can check whether there's a conflict. That's IF I decide to do it. No promises."
"OK. I need to submit my workshop plan by the end of the week. Sorry to press you. I do hope that you can do it for me. It would really help photo sales if you were there to talk to customers and sign your pictures."
Joannie was pulling out all the stops, appealing to Sharon's vanity because she knew that the model was very proud of her photos. She'd seen her examining them many times as she went about her assistant duties at the studio. And, she knew from experience, that when Sharon's reservations were overcome, she loved to exhibit her naked body to the camera. By the next day, Sharon had agreed.

Finally the convention date arrived.
"Erotic photography must always assure the comfort of the model," Joannie told the dozen amateur photo enthusiasts who had registered for her Saturday late-morning workshop.
"It is important that the face be less visible as the images become more intimate. Most models, for example women, will not object to their breasts and face being shown at the same time, but it is always wise to find out first. Your photoshoot can easily be ruined by exceeding the model's boundaries."
Joannie was winding up the first twenty minutes of her allotted hour. She had introduced the topic and discussed some basic techniques in taking black-and-white images. Back-lighting and side-lighting were an important dimension, along with shutter speed and depth of field. Joannie stoked her framed photo sales by projecting large images of them to reinforce information.
"That covers the techniques part of my presentation. Are there any questions?"
