(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.

That would definately come down to a personal choice.  The only thing I could possibly add would be my opinion.   Personally, I would only consider being a nude model if it was for art but now the definition of art comes into question.   Photography is one of those mediums that swings in all different directions, so I DON'T think I would ever consider it.   


Hey, I'm impressed that your thinking down the road because it could very well come back to bite you!

Well, where's the goods? I mean, I know I've seen it before but still! LOL (That just sounds so wrong, doesn't it?)

You know with all due respect, this is one question that I wish I never ever had the opportunity to enter my brain........the mental image that is now burned into my skull is going to haunt me for a very long time.......i'm speechless.....with nothing to add to the conversation at this time........................................kind of one of those awkward moments...................................................................................goodbye

Okay, so I followed through on this opportunity.  It was a rather liberating, yet intimidating experience.  One of the shots is my new avatar.  I'm going through the rest to see which ones are appropriate for public distribution.

I would pose nude at the drop of a hat, but I'd demand that the photographer was blindfolded, and that the shot was taken of my reflection in a Fun House mirror with a soft-focus fisheye lens from a fair distance.

:biggrin:
