First at all - art nude is a very difficult sort of photography.
Also - as a photographer you have to feel borders between
art nude, as a photography of human beaty,
erotic, as a photography of human body,
porno, as a photography of ...
I did art nude and I want to do it more.
Here is example of art nude - http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=57877 main idea is a story and what's wrong there? Maybe I'll post more and each picture will be a story, context, beaty.
 
Naked subject? Yes.
Naked photographer? Yes.

But it was a self portrait, and both subject and photographer were disappointed with the results.
 
Loads of times. 1st in 1983 during finish of Oxford/Cambridge boat race on river Thames. A well endowed 18 yr old streaked along the winning team on the landing stage kissing them. Shot on an Nikon F2 with a 180 and her 'coming' directly towards me down the line of rowers Great pic but the paper :- Sunday Express refused to use it. Editor Sir John Junor " We can't publish that , this is a family newspaper!" Oh well such is life. Bet it would have sold a few thousand more copies though.
 
Last year I investigated doing a photo essay on the regular visitors of a local naturist beach I occasionally visit. (Playlinda Beach, Canaveral National Seashore in FL) I have always been intrigued by their independent thought and ability to ignore what mainstream society thought normal.

This section of Federal public beach had always been clothing optional with no issues until the local county passed an ordinance prohibiting nudity about ten years ago. Then a public legal dispute arose if the Feds were required to enforce a local ordinance. Although the Feds won and it remains unregulated, the publicity brought voyeurs and sexual activity to what had previously been a family environment.

I found the old time regulars were so put off by the numbers of people who had come to photograph "naked people" and make sexual suggestions that each photo session took an unreasonable amount of time to develop a relationship. I ended up abandoning the potential project.
 
You can also get arrested for not wearing anything in most parts of the world
"I am arresting you on a charge of not wearing anything in most parts of the world" :)

I once took a photo of my wife, suffering from an excess of alcohol, sitting naked on the toilet. My bruises faded quite quickly, thankfully.
 
Yes, naked subject. Project was to get to a usable CD cover. It worked.

Yes, naked me. But let's not go there.
 
Personally, I don't see the point of it. If it's cold, it causes "shrinkage" which is embarrassing if you're a guy. You can also get arrested for not wearing anything in most parts of the world. I simply don't see how taking pictures without wearing clothes improves your photography. It might also make your subject uncomfortable, especially if they don't know who you are, out doing street photography.

And yet, many people do it.

Pictures of my kid with his birthday suit were quite nice. :)
 
I made some pics of a couple of horses while I was naked, except for the camera and sun-cream, does that count ?

(Nothing kinky, it was at a very quiet beach on a lake and the horses were coming down to drink).
 
Naked most beautiful subject, yes.

Naked photographer, yes. Naked except for my hiking shoes.
The subject took a picture of the photographer later, too. The picture looks rather funny because of those shoes, the most precious parts are out of focus though.
 
Are you asking if I shoot while I am naked, or are you asking if I have ever shot someone else while they were naked? In the latter case, the answer is: naked no, nude yes -- many times.
