Hi! I've been thinking about the best way to do male nudes that look natural, aesthetically pleasing, and still maintain my personal safety and privacy. What experience do you have with this? What tips can you give on lighting, angles, poses, and location to highlight masculinity without crossing the line between artistic and overly revealing?

I can share my experience - I spent a long time looking for a balance between aesthetics, masculinity and personal boundaries. The main thing is to approach this with self-respect and the understanding that nudity can be not only frank, but also deeply artistic. I try to shoot in soft natural light, for example, in the morning by the window - then the body looks natural, the shadows beautifully emphasize the relief, and the light is not too aggressive. I advise experimenting with angles: a slight tilt, shooting from above or from the side often add dynamics. I choose relaxed poses, without tension - this helps to convey confidence and calm. It is important to feel comfortable, then the shot will turn out sincere.
