    Posture Pics

    I am sure that some have seen the Posture Pics by Akira Gomi. (The thumbs in that link are distorted, but the image they refer to is just fine).

    What if -- Abby had made a set of photos like that for every model?

    It is not too late to start. Please??

      I've accessed that site. Sterile, yes, but there are a few women there I wish became AW models.

        I don't want it to be that clinical, but the idea of it is really what I am talking about. The poses (the one thing that would be the same for every model) are the main thing. Just to be able to see the vast variety of shapes.

          When these pics first hit Usenet, the response was phenomenal. I can see why students of the naked female form would find them interesting. Sometimes a poster would take, say the left profile of ten women and make a composite picture to compare and contrast. Not great wanking material I would have thought. Even now the whole series are uploaded to Usenet from time to time. I'd imagine that if aw.com did someting simular and had its own libary it would be very, very popular!!!!!

            Hey Mrs R, That's exactly what I was thinking when I suggested it. Thanks,

              Hmm.. if you had LOTS of spare time you could make list with such pose-pics of all models.

                I don't think you would find each pose for each model. Part of the appeal is the sameness of the pose for every model (IMHO).

                There have been Yahoo! groups over the years with Gomi's pics and others. The others didn't quite make the grade because they weren't as complete.

                    Not really, the poses need to be identical with photographer and models positioned in exactly the same place and distance to each other.

                      Actually, there are some sites such as www.3d.sk that offer "photo reference" pictures and charge a monthly fee for it. For people/companies who do 3d modeling and need reference pictures, those are highly useful, since you can use the reference pictures to model (parts of) a character after, or use skin texture, etc.
                      In fact, people who want to get up to speed in anatomically correct (as in shoulder joints, not as in naughty bits) modeling either on the computer or using clay are often advised to study nude pictures that can be most easily gotten from porn sites - except for older or male models, but hobbyists are quite often happy to model only beautiful young females.
                      So, one thing I thought when I saw these sites (such as 3d.sk, or others) was that the people who frequent those sites would probably also appreciate the closeups that are (were once?) a distinguishing feature for AW. And the variance and girl-next-door appearance of AW's models would probably not hurt either.

                        I love these pictures,it's like they were done on the spur of the moment and the ladies have just come in off the street.
                        This site wouldn't do anything like it because they are careful not to copy other sites

                          I don't think of it as copying because it would be a very small part of the overall site.

                            The posture pics Spud is talking about are on Usenet now. Back around 20 Feb someone posted some of the 100 "Americans" to alt.binaries.erotica, and someone else posted some of them back in January to a different group. Between the two of them you can make an almost full set, although the naming convention is different in the two sets and there's one image missing.

                            It's interesting that although they are of American girls the pics were published in Japan and the pubic hair is slightly pixellated.

                            It's also interesting that where there is a nice variety of skin coloring, hair color, breast size and body shape, there are no women on the upper end of the body size spectrum. The largest of the women are "somewhat plump". I don't think any of them are the size of Debra or Kate R.

                            Like nearly everything else having to do with erotica and young women, AW could do it better.
