I should start with a disclaimer. I have nothing, but really nothing against photos of models, more or less lightly dressed or naked.
I find them quite boring and repetitive, unless they are supported by the originality and creativity of a smart photographer, a real artist who can add something personal and new (that is rarely the case).

I don’t care for the stereotyped poses of a hyper made-up young model (it’s more embarrassing when the model is old, I have seen also that…). In portraiture I prefer more spontaneity and less studio stiffness, but it’s just a matter of personal tastes and I consider it the absolutely right of every amateur photographer to take photos of what they consider inspiring. After all I take pictures of tomatoes and books, which are not more appealing than a girl, I imagine.

But in my benevolent indifference for photography which has its subject pseudo-sexy models taken under the spotlights of a studio, there is also a little pet peeve, or I should call it “favourite annoyance”.
I cannot stand the presence of teddy bears.
In too many series of photos of undressed models an innocent teddy bear is obliged to take the role of those rather ridiculous little stars, which are used to censor pudenda ( I voluntarily use this out of fashion word because I consider this kind of censorship out of fashion as well). The model, with what is supposed to be a naughty and mischievous look (unfortunately is rather a bored look instead), sticks a teddy bears against her breast to hide the nipples or lies on her side with the resigned teddy bear on her belly. I have seen hundreds of teddy bears in similar photos.

Oh, please save the teddy bears from this gloomy role. Use anything else, dear fellow amateur photographers, but leave teddy bears in peace. You might try pumpkins, slippers, leaflets, vinyl records, whatever you like. Dare to be different.

Or maybe take pictures of a gigantic, naked teddy bear covered with a girl on his strategic parts. Thank you!
