Kim Kardashian much easier to shoot for Playboy than 'guarded' Ashley Dupre: photog Steve Wayda

Playboy photographer Steve Wayda says Kim Kardashian may have been easier to shoot than Ashley Dupre because of Kardashian's sex tape.

When it comes to getting girls to strip for his camera, photographer Steve Wayda says Kim Kardashian has the edge over Ashley Dupre. "Kim was much more relaxed right off the bat," says the master nude portraitist, who recently shot both ladies for Playboy. "Maybe that was because of her sex tape." Former gubernatorial service-woman Dupre, on the other hand, was "guarded. So she was a challenge initially. She said, 'I can't be shot from that angle - my legs will look too thick ...' She also wasn't too big on the dominatrix-in-the-dungeon idea at first. But I won her trust." Ashley was holding hands with new guy Casey Ashby at U.S. Weekly's Hot Hollywood Style party in L.A. on Thursday.
