David-Nudes.com: Part Magazine, Part Community, Part School
by Sue Denim
YNOT – Nude-art-photography e-zine David-Nudes.com has launched a new tour designed to introduce surfers to the unusual community behind the homepage. In addition to offering truly beautiful softcore images, the website also hosts a thriving artistic community and an informal school for those seeking to improve their own erotic artistic skills.
“The new tour is extremely enhanced on the visual side of things,” said co-founder and spokeswoman Tatyana Weisenbarger, who happens to be married to the “David” in the website’s name. “It ‘pops’ and has done a very good job of drawing customers in and making them want to see more. The tour offers a good look at our artistic photos and videos, and also allows surfers to get a good feel for our model blogs and lessons section. Surfers are given just enough to get them interested, but not enough to be satisfied without a purchase.”
Online since June 2008, David-Nudes is a labor of love for the Weisenbargers. David Weisenbarger has possessed a passion for photography all his life, he said. Tatyana is a professional model. Together they travel the world shooting beautiful women in exotic locations. They also run the website and its affiliate program, DavidNudesCash.
“David-Nudes does not offer hardcore content, but we do offer hot girl-girl action as well as solo-girl videos and photos,” Tayana said. “Basically, David-Nudes has everything a surfer could want: artistic photography, just enough erotic content for those who want to see ‘just a little more,’ a great and vibrant community where members can interact with models, and even a place where budding photographers can hone their skills.”
The site’s community aspect gives members more than a little of the unexpected.
“David-Nudes is a very open community,” Tatyana said. “A member can interact directly with all of our real models. The models and staff all use their real names and respond personally to all members.”
More surprising, however, is the educational component. David Weisenbarger holds two degrees in design; currently he’s a doctoral candidate in instructional technologies. Members are encouraged to ask questions about anything they see on the site, and they are sure to get a reply from the artist himself.
“Members not only can enjoy the amazing nude photography, but they also can learn how it was done,” Tatyana revealed. “Lessons created by David are published with every session he does, going into detail about all the aspects of the shoot. From model selection to makeup, set design to lighting, camera selection to setup and final post-production, David holds back no secrets. Teaching is his second passion, after nude photography.”
David-Nudes’ signature style and lessons are available in the Weisenbargers’ first book, Learn Nude Photography, published in August 2009 and available in print and Kindle version at Amazon.com. Electronic versions of the book also are available from Barnes & Noble’s website and the Sony eReader Store. In addition, the Weisenbargers have produced two DVDs, Tatyana Nude Gym and Tatyana Nude Shower, both of which are available at Amazon.com. The couple is in the process of negotiating the wholesale release of the DVDs.
DavidNudesCash pays affiliates 50-percent commissions on all new sign-ups and rebills, plus a 5-percent webmaster referral fee. An incentive program offers up to 60-percent commissions to webmasters who send at least three sales each month. The Weisenbargers post eight new free-hosted galleries each week and maintain a library of at least 150 embeddable Flash videos for affiliates to use. Picture of the day, girl of the day, video of the day, custom RSS feeds, custom landing pages, dynamic galleries and more are available for the asking.
“We are very hands on,” Tatyana promised. “We’ll reply to webmaster questions within 24 hours. We personally work with webmasters to make sure they are using the best tools for their specific needs. Not too long ago we helped a webmaster set up their Google analytics account and got them involved with many adult threads.
“In short, if you need any kind of assistance, we are here to help,” she said.
