NS brought up the issue of having models doing "things" during the shoots, small domestic things, like washing dishes, or making a bed. I'll ignore for the moment the obvious sexist undertones (whether impled deliberately or not).
I am undecided on the issue. Some other websites (notably, www.darchives.com), insist upon this for every shoot they put up, it MUST have a story. I reckon the stories are largely superflorous to the advancement of the shoot, tho it may, in some weird way, "justify" the model getting naked.
I dunno, it always just seems like a poor excuse to get naked (and lets face it, ppl don't get naked alone that often in the course of the day, maybe a shower, to go to bed, and that's about it) and there's only so many shoots to can do of models getting ready for a shower, right?
After that, one seems to be clutching at straws (how many wimmin get naked washing the dishes? hangiong out the washing? I mean, sure, they CAN, but...). This whole genre does not lend itself to narrative, that's NOT what it's about IMO. I am all for continuity (ie, start clothed, finish naked), but having and actual "story", however thin... seems totally un-necessary to me.
Of course, if my customers want that, over what I have been doing, I'll certainly consider it, but that's my current standing on the issue.
You?
