On a more positive note. I've written a booklet that might be useful for a beginner in this field, at least in terms of finding models. You can find info on
How to Recruit Models for Nude & Erotic Photography and
Nude & Erotic Photography: Getting Started on a Budget by clicking on these links. The second one doesn't really recognize the existence of digital cameras (I'm working on updating it), but it still contains a lot of valuable information. The one on recruiting models is regarded as just about the best book on the subject, and if you look at all the girls on my main page (click on the siggy below), I either have model recruiting technique down to an art or I'm just the proverbial "Silver-Tongued Devil."
