What is Full Frontal?
Ive had a lot of photographers decide to not work with me because I do not do full frontal. I dont do open leg or spreads either. But do people know what I mean when I say No full frontal ? Ive even had to send sample shots to some photographers saying.. ' full frontal' 'not full frontal' I thought that full frontal meant showing the front part of the vagina, ie hood, and where the lips start, etc. Is this correct? Some models tell me that I can do full frontal but if I arch my back and make it to where you can't see 'below' that is still considered full frontal as well. Help ? Mar 03 06 05:16 pm Link There is no absolute definition but "Full Frontal" is a picture taken from the front, in the nude, where the genitals are exposed in their natural state. In other words, if you are facing the camera, pubic hair and the genital region could nominally be seen. If you step up to "Explicit" nudity, that is generally where the genitals are fully exposed, such as you have described in your post. "Spreads" are where the legs are wide open and the genitals are fully and graphically exposed. I know, the nuances are small. It gets worse. Playboy style used to be regarded as full frontal but not explicit. However, Playboy now does tasteful, open leg. So it is an artistic form of "Explicit." So the problem is, when someone asks you if you do full-frontal nudity, in your case, you will do so, so long as it is relatively tasteful. What you need to do is to ask the shooter what the term means to him. Depending on what he is looking for, it may be within your comfort level. Mar 03 06 05:34 pm Link alan is right about that one.

Just no SPREAD shots or explicit.  BTW, can you send me a pic?  - Denoy Mar 03 06 06:11 pm Link DeBoer Photography wrote: Im willing to do full nudity, artistic, implied, and semi. Mar 03 06 06:48 pm Link "But do people know what I mean when I say No full frontal ? " are we talking sex or photography?

This is why I chuckle each time I see a model say the only style of nude she will do is artistic playboy style.I am guessing they are thinking of Daddys Playboy collection from the early 80s and before, because Playboy nudes are nothing like they used to be.

But... because you shave that may also go beyond where you want to go with what is exposed. That's for you to decide.
