No way is a big group of men with cameras running to surround a topless girl going to encourage other women to get naked. I can tell by klondikes photos he knows how to do it right. Most these girls dont even know they were photographed, thats way to do it right, to keep it sustainable for the future.
If you look at other OCF galleries, you'll see lots of posed pics. The two babes in the fifth pic, for example, are "butterfly girls" (see their wings?) and they and some of the parade groupies will pose for pics. You'll also see friends posing for friends. But otherwise, you're right. Eighty percent of the topless babes don't care to be photographed so I shoot from the hip. Besides, I like candids better anyway, so it suits my style (and I like the challenge of trying to make something out them). The only time I'll shoot straight up is if I come across a girl who is already being photographed by someone else (last two pics). But then if thats a friends shooting friends situation and I'm not invited to the party - oops!
