Nude photography isn't just about sitting a girl down without clothes on and snapping some shots. You'd be extremely surprised at how difficult it is... the shots that appear in men's magazines such as Maxim, Playboy, etc are all products of hours upon hours of tedious work on the part of a large group of people using a good amount of rather expensive equipment.

That being said, you've got to start somewhere. Here's a list of some of my favorite places on the web related to photography:

I also dabble in photography, and will be dipping the toes into glamour/nudes etc. The results i've gotten even with an incredibly modest camera have been satisfying.

Just mess with the lighting setup, and use an asset of paramount importance to technical gear - your eye...

Read up on basic photography composition "rules" (not that i've done it, as I usually learn things via trial and error and looking at others work for inspiration, but it's probably a good idea...).

Sure. Read as much as you can. Take as many pictures as you can of as many people as you can. Study others photos that you like and try to figure out what aspects of them you like. Study your photographs and figure out what you did wrong, did right, could have done better, or changed completely.

Buy a digicam. Spend $200-300 more than you're comfortable with and get a quality camera. Preferably a DSLR if you're serious about what you're saying you want to do.

Practice makes perfect... and I've got a lot of practicing to do.

Try to learn typing and spelling before moving onto photography. Just a thought.

In the past few days what have you done regarding photography? Anything?

Here's what I do know - you'll never be anywhere close to good enough to be a photographer for playboy unless you've either got a huge natural talent or you practice for years. Since you're on here asking I'm guessing the natural talent isn't an option (it isn't with me, either) so perhaps you should get yourself a camera already...
