(LIST ONLY THINGS YOU'VE ACTUALLY SEEN)


If you're holding your tits, it's not a headshot.

If you're not clothed, it's not casual.

If you're showing the same picture with a photoshop filter applied, it's not suddenly artistic.

If you're holding a penis, it's not TFP.

My favorite so far.

If you have posted many times,  it does not make you right.
If you have not posted many times,  it does not make you wrong.
If you have posted many times,  it does not mean you do not have a life.   Maybe you just love photography and not TV.

If the model is in a ballgown, it's not a go-see.

If you're nude, bent over with you're ass in the air to the camera, and your ass is winking at us, it's not glamour or fashion, you're a porn star. (yes, on this site)

Assuming you are referring to the model being naked, it could be an obscured nude, an occluded nude, or... (insert your favorite synonym here)... which is usually referred to mistakenly as an implied nude on this site.

If the photographer is the one who is naked, then yes, the photo could possibly be an implied shot.  big_smile

Imaginary nude.  Metaphysical nude.  Self-referential nude.  Spoof nude.  Morality nude...

If you own a $4000 16 mega pixel camera and, the most recent version of photoshop, it doesn't make you a photographer... (just an arsehole that spent way too much money!)

If you are a man and have sex with another man... in prison, It does not mean you are a homosexual.... (you just needed some smokes!)

If you constantly watch your ex girlfiend's every move, monitor her emails and phone calls, go through her garbage and show up at social functions even thought the restraining order says "500 feet," that doesn't make you a stalker ....... (just some one who pays attention to you and the details!)

Oh by the way, I've seen two and only "heard" one... You'll just have to guess!

If your portfolio consists of shots of your legs and ass, you're not a fashion model. (I've seen it, but fortunately, the rest of you won't)

That's right!  I consider bodypainting to be "implied clothing".

This would be funnier if everyone followed the format in the title somewhat.

Same here sorta. A lot of models won`t pose nude but will pose unclothed covered in body paint.

If you're not aware of the difference between "your" and "you're", it's not a sentence I enjoy reading.

If you ask "do I have what it takes to be a model", the answer is no.

If you're __?___, it's not a __?__.

If you're .. an agent in California without a license,... it's not a... long time till my ex-girlfriend who is an inspector for the Dept of Labor Standards Enforcement shuts you down.

If you're... thinking about becoming a model manager,... it's not a... bad time to rethink it.

If you're... having sex with the photographer,... it's not a... good time to ask about his wife.

If you're ... posting camera-phone pictures ... it's not a ...  modeling portfolio, it's myspace.


If you're ... posting pictures with your boyfriend ... it's not a ... portfolio shot, it's a snapshot (see above).
