Cool locations near Los Angeles to do nude photo shoot

<p>Does anyone know of any cool locations near LA to do a nude photo shoot? Obviously away from the public, maybe an old deserted area?</p>

<p>How far away would you consider "near" ? What type of landscape ? Urban or rural or out in the middle of nowhere ?</p>

<p> </p>

<p>In the LA area, within 45 minutes. Urban, rural, middle of nowhere- anywhere I won't be seen by a lot of people and/or get in trouble for being nude! Thanks!</p>

<p>Private property. There's a huge porn industry in the greater Los Angeles area. Most is shot on private property. Otherwise, getting away from the roads and trails is going to be a better bet, but you've got a lot of population and a lot of fitness walkers, bikers, etc., so the farther out you get, the better your chances are. 45 minutes may well not be enough. "Hilly" terrain makes it easier to get out of viewing lines from roads and trails.</p>

<p>Hmm thanks Craig, unfortunately, I won't be able to do that this time. Next time maybe!</p>

<p>From almost any part of LA it will take you almost those 45 minutes to get to any other part. And from many parts of LA it will take you well over an hour to get out of LA.</p>

<p>Your quest does not make much sense, in my book. Unless you consider shooting on someone's "private property". Or take a day trip to get away from it all. Just look at a road map, please.</p>

<p>There are plenty of remote areas if you get up into the hills, just you'd want to get away from the roads and established rec areas, etc. The farther into the boonies you go, the easier it would be find privacy. Of course it depends on where you are what a 45 minute or so travel limit might mean, and what you might think of in the way of locations, the type of environment, etc. If you are willing to walk a ways, then there are plenty of areas which would probably work, especially if you work quickly. I don't live near the beach areas so don't have any beach suggestions Lots of hill areas are greening up nicely now, some of the curvy little arroyos and washes can offer a fair amount of privacy if you work your way away from the roads. I think it's on a storm to storm basis what might be open road wise into the Angeles, some of the canyons we used to go plinking in would work, may be not really "pretty" from a vegetation standpoint but they offer sort of interesting rock and soil formations. A "private" location would typically take most of the worry about interference, etc., but isn't completely necessary. </p>

<p>Of course you can always drive to the end of the paved roads and walk up the trails of various canyons that eventually lead up to Mt. Wilson etc for rocky desert surroundings (beware of touching the cacti, very painful, and the chaperell is also quite unforgiving to your skin ...) and hike up an hour into the wilderness north of Altadena, Pasadena, Sierra Madre, ... and find solitude, albeit with occasional surprise visitors that pass by ... . But that may well exceed the 45 min access time limit of yours ...</p>

<p>The plant you really have to be aware of is poison oak. The dense snaggy, thorny, spiky plant problems are obvious.</p>

<p>If we knew where you where starting from, some of us from the greater L.A. area might be able to give you some better suggestions of places you might want to scout out. </p>

<p>Residual damage from the Station Fire and seasonal closures of Angeles Crest Highway may have eliminated some of the possibilities. It really kind of depends on what kind of terrain or vegetation features would interest you. Mount Wilson and the high country is big tree forest (and can be snowed in), the slopes to the south above the foothill communities are extremely rugged and even lush in some canyon areas but the few trails are fairly heavily used by recreational and fitness hikers so timing would be more important than distance hiked in much of the time. I'm not familiar enough with the western areas, like the Santa Monica Mountains, or Orange County back country, to suggest possibilities there.</p>

<p> Isn't there a nude beach in Palos Verdes? Portuguese Bend or something like that? Good dramatic scenery (sea cliffs,rock,ocean,beach) within 45 minutes of LA & you wont get in trouble for being nude. Check it out. It may be the answer.</p>

<p>I know of a few places that you might try 6 miles above Castaic. Templin hwy and the old hwy 99. go to the end of templin to the east and park at the gate blocking the road and hike down into the canyon, plenty of places and very few other hikers. or you can go west to old 99 then north to the gate where the river meets the road then hike away from anyone that may be fishing there.... hope this helps...</p>
