In some of the bookshops in London there are more books on male nudes,
mainly aimed at a gay male market than on female nudes. I think this says
more about publishers than London. Of course it is yet another example of
photography following 'art'.
Personally I used to have two reasons for preferring female life models.
The second was that women are easier to draw!
However I don't see much connection with alt-photo.
