should I tell her that they are nasty and that she should never show them anywhere.

Some photog here in CT talked one of her employees (at his regular job) to a shoot nudes for him. The images are just bad.

We are talking pics of the photographer in the mirror, radiators and green carpent in the background, out of focus, and unflattering poses.

I know her and like her, should I tell her to destroy them and never shoot with this guy (Her Boss)..

P.S. I know and she now knows this was a bad decision in the first place. So, lets not go there.

If she knows it was a bad decision, why is she using the shots?

Just have some tact. Suggest that perhaps she can find a better photographer who will get more flattering images of her.

i think that unless you're being paid for your managerial input, it's really subjective and ultimately the model's decision.

If she knows it was a bad decision, wouldn't she decide not to show them around anyway?

But yeah, basically a friend tells a friend when they have something green in their teeth, when their skirt is tucked into their pants or encourages them to grow their hair after a REALLy bad cut..

I guess you could look over the images with her, give an honest critique and offer to help her reshoot maybe?  Although it does get more complicated if the tog is her boss...

People like new and improved and if it means new and improved is actually tacky and sucky.

Gentle postive honesty is a good thing.

Skirt is tucked into her pants? Aren't skirts usually worn without pants?

Her boss talked her into nudes? LMAO ....  DO NOT tell her to destroy the photos!!!  She is sitting on a raise, a promotion, a big fat bonus and whatever else she wants!

everywhere else in the world pants = panties.

in the united states, pants = those unattractive leggings seen being worn by all women in california.

Do NOT say anything unless she ASKS for your opinion.  Otherwise you'll look catty or controlling or something.
