Nude photo shoot at ex-golf course raises eyebrows in Michigan

A recent photo shoot that allowed models to pose nude at the site of a former Livingston County golf course has a resident asking questions.

On Saturday, nearly 40 models and photographers gathered for a day of what organizer Rebecca Tremble called “portfolio building” at the former site of Marion Oaks Golf Course, comprising 230 acres on D-19 south of Howell in Marion Township. The property, just north of Parker Middle School and south of I-96, is owned by the Van Gilder family.

“There are hundreds of opportunities for good photos out there,” she said.

The group, called Lansing Exposure Group Shoot, abbreviated as L.E.G.S., seeks to help up-and-coming models network with photographers in a “safe environment,” the Lansing woman said....

Some — but not all — models posed nude Saturday inside buildings, such as the course’s former clubhouse, or outdoors in areas not visible to the public, according to Tremble.

“We don’t allow pornography,” she said. “There isn’t any exotic nudity.

“It’s all done in a classical or artistic manner.”
