Could you shoot a family member nude?
Just wanted to know if you could shoot a family member nude? Like your sister, brother, niece you get the general idea. So would it creep you out or could you handle it ok. And have you ever shot a family member in the nude? bs Feb 08 06 07:10 am Link bobby sargent wrote: the ONLY person who could say yes, would be Greg Brady. Feb 08 06 07:22 am Link I shot my sister nude when she was pregnant. It was strange at first, but we got some beautiful images and everybody was happy with the outcome. Have not seen her naked since.

Aslong as it is for the benefit of the shooting and the results it will bring. Otherwise, I suggest the person gets some medical help. Nope, didn't have a shoot with any member of my family (nude or in clothing). Feb 08 06 07:39 am Link I think it depends a lot on what you are shooting. Artistic, Pregnancy, etc. vs. Glamour nude or Playboy style. It also depends on your attitude toward nudity. Feb 08 06 07:43 am Link Parents shoot their kids nude all the time. Feb 08 06 07:52 am Link Are we speaking hypothetically???...If so, could my sister/cousin at least be hypothetically hot?  Feb 08 06 07:55 am Link bobby sargent wrote: I think it'd be a little weird. Depending on the family member, I don't know if I could do it. Feb 08 06 07:57 am Link Ed Remington wrote: On the Internet, anything is possible. Feb 08 06 07:59 am Link Sounds a iittle hypocritical to say that you only shoot naked people for the artistic merit, and then to be wierded out by shooting a family member. Skin is skin people. I don't do naked pictures at all, but if I did for artistic reasons, I wouldn't have a problem with shooting a family member. If I was shooting it for pr0n reasons, that might be wierd, but none of you guys do that, right? Feb 08 06 08:00 am Link well would shooting yourself nude count? cause if you are male you would be shooting your member and if you are female you are shooting your memebers  Feb 08 06 08:04 am Link In theory, yes, but in reality no....I have a brother who is gay (nothing wrong with that) where as I am strait. I don't mind that so much, but I would be very creeped out shooting him nude. My sisters are quite obese, so that would creep me out a bit too... and my parents, well thats just going to far... so after more consideration, I guess not...

Feb 08 06 08:07 am Link Why would it be weird? If my sister wanted nude photos of herself, or pregnancy photos in the buff, I'd MUCH rather her come to me and KNOW she's safe and in a good environment than risking going to someone else that she doesn't know. That is, IF she can even find someone who will do them. You sure can't go down to Olan Mills and get them made up...lol. Just my two cents. Have I ever shot a family member in the nude? Yep. My hubby... lol. But we do a LOT of stuff nude.   Feb 08 06 08:13 am Link Well to answer your question, Yes I have my wife was the first nude I have ever shot and I have shot my daughter in law several times, to make calenders or a nice image book for her husband my son. we have shot nude(playboy style) as well as clothed Feb 08 06 08:13 am Link I wouldn't have a problem shooting a family member nude, but I couldn't make sexual nudes, obviously. Have I? Aside from my kids as babies, no. -Don Feb 08 06 08:14 am Link Again this pose's one of those "moral dilema" questions... To the "outside" World, it may (or may not) seem strange but to the community of artitsts that we are, it's not Feb 08 06 08:21 am Link Again this pose's one of those "moral dilema" questions... To the "outside" World, it may (or may not) seem strange but to the community of artitsts that we are, it's not Feb 08 06 08:21 am Link I could shoot a female family member nude, but not a male one. Feb 08 06 08:22 am Link What if you're attracted to the relative? Oops, wrong thread...nevermind me.Feb 08 06 08:29 am Link it all depends what your intentions are... and what comes out the end creatively... and honestly, no one has to know a family member shot the nude photos...

Feb 08 06 08:51 am Link My wife was my first nude model. If my 23-year old daughter asked....I don't know..I guess it would depend on why she wanted them. Feb 08 06 08:56 am Link This one should be defined by circumstances. In general if a blood related family member just randomly asked me to shoot them nude I would think.... well long and hard and probably be confused.But, I found out last week that I am going to be a first time uncle and was asked by my little sister to do a pregnancy shoot (artistic nudes) because she likes my nude work more than other photographers she has checked out. So I gladly accepted the offer. Then again I am not the type to care what the Outside or Mainstream think. I am doing it as a favor to her... and one she can reflect on for the ages. Feb 08 06 10:28 am Link Random thoughts, some tangentical: For me, it depends. I have a small family, so this isn't really an issue. I've been making pictures since I was about 15; when I was near 20, I was friends with a small family, with a son at 1.5 years old, and two daughters, at 3 & 5 years old. We're still friends, some 30+ years later. The 3 year old is now in her mid-30s, and she recently asked me to photograph her nude, and I guess I chickened out -- it was a little too weird for me. When I was living in Northern California, near San Jose, I met a lot of folks while working with the local community theater. Once, a young actress (18 years old) asked me to photograph her nude -- I did. A little while later, her mother asked me to do some nude images of her for her husband. I did that, too. I wonder if mother & daughter ever figured out that they both posed nude for me. One of my favorite obscure photographers is Les Krims -- he's totally insane. One book he did was something called something like "The Incredible Case Of Stack Of Wheat Cakes Murders", in which he made "police photographs" of crime scenes that were staged, full of clues, and contained a nude "dead" model and a stack of pancakes. I remember if you bought the whole portfolio, it came with a box of pancake mix and a jar of chocolate syrup (which was used to imitate "blood"). He made another book called "Making Chicken Soup", in which he photographed his mother making chicken soup (see? Here are the chicken parts arranged in the soup pan). Did I mention that his mother was naked while she was making the soup? An old-ish Jewish-ish mother, naked, making chicken soup in her kitchen. Crazy! Feb 08 06 10:36 am Link Already did... pics of the kids playin with their 'rubber duckies' in the tub... Feb 08 06 10:39 am Link HELLZZZZNAAAWWWWWW!!!!!! I've had two female family members come to me looking for "erotic" pics, I said no before they could even finish their sentences. To me it feels like a step above incest. I recommended them to a female photographer I know instead and got a referral fee. Feb 08 06 12:01 pm Link I just had a really bad vision --- the title of this thread is "Could you shoot a family member nude?" I don't think any of my family members would want me to be nude to shoot them... Feb 08 06 12:05 pm Link I agree with ya Mark!! I could shoot your family members nude. Mine? nah? Feb 08 06 12:07 pm Link No. They're all prudes. Feb 08 06 12:11 pm Link It would highly depend on what type of nude they're talking about. And if I couldn't/wouldn't do it, I would want to refer them to a photographer, not a pervert with a camera. Feb 08 06 12:12 pm Link NOW i have to confess ... !!!!! I did shoot my little niece nude when she was 1min.old ... Feb 08 06 10:29 pm Link No. I don't shoot ugly people. Feb 08 06 10:52 pm Link Here FUCK NO! Feb 08 06 10:57 pm Link Well the real answer is for everyone not just me, is 'yes, I could shoot a family member nude'. But that is a VERY different question than, 'would you shoot a family member nude?'. So dig out your 8th grade grammar books, and learn the difference between could and would. And that's not to mention you didn't state whether you were nude, or the family member was nude, i.e. Man: I just shot an elephant in my pajamas. Groucho: What was the elephant doing in your pajamas? OK, its late. M Feb 08 06 11:00 pm Link I've thought about this before, and to be honest, I couldn't. I would help the family member find a good photographer. I could look at the pictures after they were taken without a problem, and give an honest, artistic critique, but it's the actual shoot that would be the issue for me. Having my sister naked in front of me while I was telling her to arch her back would just be unpleasant. Feb 08 06 11:06 pm Link |
