I'm really glad I read this forum... I thought implied nudity was when you have a willing nude model and the photographer screws up in taking the picture so that you do not see any of the good parts...Boy was I wrong!

ALL my parts are good.

That's right. Does she have socks on?

If I remember correctly she has her panties still on but hiked down to below the frame of the door... that was a year or two ago though...  All I clearly remember is her boyfriend shielding me from lens flare with my hat.

But my only question with these definitions of implied nudity is that a fully nude person hidden could still be an implied nude, because though you don't see the nudity, what you *do* see is enough to imply the nudity.  The actual status of clothing on the model but off camera is irrelevant (as the example shows).

'implied nudity'   =  the photographer gets to see you naked but he wont show anyone else.

hahaha

Implied nudity is such a silly term.  If the model is nude, what is implied about it?  Mary is right in my little mind.

What is implied nudity

WAIT ....

This is not a stupid question at all. Let me give you my experienced take on this because everyone else is missing this important point:

The MOST important defination of Implied Nudity is the way we define it for ourselves and between the model and photographer in our modeling agreement.

Becuse there is no end to the ways people will discribe what this is, then we should lock it down in specific words as part of our agreement. Nude photo shoots should be defined carefully to avoid confusion and differing interpretations.

This is what I wrote for myself in my own model release:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. TERMS AND DEFINITIONS OF NUDITY & IMPLIED NUDITY FOR THIS PHOTO SHOOT

    NUDITY – For this agreement and for our mutual understanding, we both hereby define  “nudityâ€? as showing nipples or genitalia visibly and uncovered in the finished edited images  created for public display.
   
    IMPLIED NUDITY (nipples or genitalia not showing) will not be considered as nudity for the  purpose of this agreement “Implied Nudityâ€? includes the use of shadows, silhouettes, hair, and  cloth, blurs, or other means during the editing process to obscure, cover or hide nipples and genitalia.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOW, I'm not saying this is the way to write it, and I'm not suggesting that anyone write it this way for themselves. It's what I did for me, and it's where it stands now. There is a tradeoff between being clear and simple, and with being too legalistic, garbled, confusing, restrictive and intimidating.
