Should I pose nude?

Nice side shot.

(And why can't I create a poll to complement this topic?)

Recently, a professional photographer invited me to model for an art project.  The project would involve some nudity.  I am not uncomfortable with the thought of posing nude.  I've responded to a number of art class want ads in the past, but for one reason or another nothing materialized.  Likewise, I am not uncomfortable with this photographer.  I checked out his work and references and they are all positive.

However, I always hesitate when I think about how these pictures could be used against me in the future.  Photos are different than posing for a painting or sculpture.  There's no denying it would be me in those photos.  How would I explain that to my boss if they appeared somewhere publicly accessible?  Or my family?  Yes, there are nude pictures of me on the internet from various nudist functions, but they are candids.  This would be the first time I've "knowingly" allowed someone to take staged pictures of me.

But, this is something I've wanted to do for several years and here I am presented with the opportunity to make it a reality.  So, on one hand, I may regret doing it down the road, but on the other, I may regret not seizing the opportunity while it exists.

Perhaps once I obtain a copy of the photographer's release form and find out exactly how these photos might be used it will make the decision easier.

Do it!

Not really.  It's a full-body side view.  I'm just not sure where the line is here, so I'm treading cautiously.

Here it is again.  If management complains, I'll pull the link.
