The more I see artistic nudes...
i have one, I think it is good.... somewhat.. Dec 15 06 05:46 pm Link Ought To Be Shot wrote: This is a good point. You do things for those you love. But you also DON'T do things because you love them. Dec 15 06 05:51 pm Link Stick to your morals, and your gut feeling. Don't do something because other people do it.

Dec 15 06 05:57 pm Link My 0.02 is that people would just be happier if they lived for themselves. no, that does not mean not taking others feelings into consideration but it does mean not having to give up on your own dreams and things that make you happy. I have always been viewed as my own person and while that didn't make the favorite in the family I am, by far, the happiest. I live by the following: I don't need permission to live my life. I'm not hateful, selfish or spiteful and I try to be nice to others. Once I was involved with someone who just couldn't deal with me modeling. period. And if nude was involved he'd have a freaking break down. I had enough of that and realized that if I gave in on that then it would be only a matter of time before he'd have problems with other areas. I see this and saw that as a huge red flag and screams of his issues. Just saying....do whatever you wish to be happy and follow your dreams. good luck. ak Dec 15 06 11:02 pm Link If you're comfortable with it, go ahead. If you're not, don't. "Comfortable" includes factors other than just one person. Please note, she amended her "let" to "approve." I realize all this "live for yourself" stuff, but I enjoy my wife's approval on things, and I hope that she enjoys my approval. If we disapprove, we let each other know, and we expect each other to at least consider our individual disapprovals. A relationship, including marriage, is mutual respect and often compromise, not each person doing whatever they want to do, without regard to the other. Realize that pictures are forever. If you have no problem with you and the people who are important to you having the pictures around forever, there's nothing stopping you. Dec 16 06 01:15 am Link ya know.. I couldn't read all the replies to this thread... so I hope I'm not completely repeating someone.. this seems kinda silly to me.. my work is downright prudish.. and I don't see the problem here. perhaps it's cuz I'm old. If you don't feel comfortable with posing nude.. then don't. If it's something you want to do to create some art and some memories then do it now or you'll end up wishing you had for a very long time. who gives a rip what someone else thinks as long as you're not hurting them? Now.. if ya love the guy.. and if you think he'd be emotionally scarred by you doing it.. AND wanna spend the rest of your life with it.. well then.. tha's one for a counsellor rather than a bunch of models and photographers.  You knew the answer to your own question before you put it up. Dec 16 06 03:32 am Link Hi hun, I've only just started experimenting with them and only with professional photographers I know and trust. I think it's a pretty risky thing to do with anyone so I'm being very selective and so far, it's been without problem. But I completely understand how you feel. I WOULD be disowned if my parents knew and no one is my personal life approves. But tough, it's my life and if I make a mistake, I'll learn from it later. I'm not living for anyone else and that's basically why I decided ot go ahead with it. I was like you, fascinated with the genre and wanting to try it but my fear held me back. Not anymore though and I feel empowered for beating it  I'm careful though and you should always be, even more so with that kind of work but if you can get past that insecurity, it's an amazing feeling to create something in that style that you are proud of. Your chouice though, you should only ever do it if you've thought it through. Kell xxx Dec 16 06 03:54 am Link Shyly wrote: Wow I didn't realize so many people had responded after I left. I know its been a couple of days, but this thread got buried and I just randomly decided to do a search to see if anyone else had offered advice.

Dec 20 06 06:44 am Link If you decide to do artistic nudes, choose your photographer carefully. Look at his previous work closely. Dec 20 06 06:59 am Link What I have suggested before when this has come up is start with a model release that says the usual bit about waiving rights to approve the pictures, but add "except in pictures with full frontal nudity and in which your face is recognizable." Its a matter of how you are posed or how the picture is cropped. No, that doesn't gaurantee that they would never surface but if you shoot with legitimate photographers it should help. Then give it a week and see how you feel when you see the pictures. Hopefully, the photographer will do a good job and you'll love the results. The real question though, whether they are that good or not, is how you feel. Even if they aren't great, do you feel you want to shoot them again to get them right. In that case go for it. If not, then its just not for you. Dec 20 06 07:39 am Link i agree, they're are some really beautiful ones on the site Dec 20 06 07:53 am Link "No other subject is so indicative of the photographer's taste and talent as the nude." - Peter Lacey Dec 20 06 12:25 pm Link Bruce Talbot wrote:
Dec 20 06 12:26 pm Link it moves me when i see artistic nudes. it just did again ! Dec 20 06 12:26 pm Link Shyly wrote: I disagree. nude modeling is HARD!!! (I tried it finally so I can say now.) It's so much easier to do with your clothes on. I think you have to have an ability for it, even if you have an understanding, it's not easy. body type, just... i don't know a little clicky thing in your head?

Dec 20 06 12:34 pm Link i shot a model the other day, i had to tell her to cover up. doing nude is one thing, but being out of shape is where i draw the line.

In my case he just wanted to see how they turned out. He is now proud that I am a nude art model. Maybe you should have him join you on the shoot. I know that can help, change his mind. A lot of times there is just a miss understanding. Dec 20 06 12:44 pm Link Huynh Photography wrote: I don't quite understand... Why did she have to cover up just because you're out of shape?

Dec 20 06 12:49 pm Link go back and read up on your photography skills before you can talk to me. i don't want to lecture you about photo 101 again. this is the a and b conversation. c your way out.

While you're at it, pick up a couple of books on grammar and spelling. I'm a little too busy right now to lecture you on respecting women AND not butchering the English Language. Dec 20 06 12:53 pm Link I did not read the whole thread so maybe this has been said before but a jealous boyfriend means one of two things. 1. you quit modeling 2. you say ba bye to the boyfriend.
