Guys how comfortable are you posting nude pictures of a woman on the Internet knowing that they will hunt the lady for the rest of her life ?

That's too funny. I though only my photos were bad enough to "hunt" people the rest of their lives..

Hey papa, if you think that nude photos are haunting or a bad thing, then maybe you shouldn't be in here. I am very comfortable with taking nude photos of adult consenting models. Sometimes they even pay ME to take nude photos of them. I in no way feel like I am doing anything wrong, immoral or dirty. As far as photos haunting a model later in life, unless she is running for office or miss America, I don't think it is an issue.

I think society as a rule has become too politically correct and are too quick to judge people for their actions (legally speaking). We are quick to jump in to other peoples lives and make assumptions and opinions without even knowing the truth. We take what we hear on televison, radio and word of mouth and never do any research to verify if its true or not.

If a consenting adult wants nude photos taken of him or her and the person is of sane mind then who are we to decide whats right or wrong for them. Everybody wants to be a judge when it comes to others. What happened to "Mind your own business"

Most if not all adult models know the value or the downside of different types of photos, its is then up to the model if they want to do the shots. Their reasons for posing nude vary in many different ways but the end result is always they are adults and of legal age and its none of our business.

The biggest problem with most folks is they avoid their owns problems or do nothing about them and take the extra time to get involved in what everyone else is doing. We long ago crossed the line and decided that if a person puts their self in the public spot light then we have the right to convey our opinion. I see nothing wrong with having an opinion but should we make a public voice out of it? I try very hard to take care of my family and me first and stay clear of what the other man is doing that I disagree with. My way is not the best or the only way but I have less trouble concerning myself with others. If these people choose to shoot nude and I find it offensive I have the choice to not look. If I like it and its a hobby of mine to shoot then I should be free to do this without retribution.

The bottom line for me is I feel like we are all adults here, if you decide to shoot nude models and the model wants these shots then she has a legal right to do this so therefore she has thought about this and is fully aware what the future result may be. Its a free world to do as you like within the law.

Is this a case of a member passing 500 posts and then trying to push the morality wheelbarrow in a "restricted" forum?
I certainly have no problem with it and neither do the models I shoot.

[CJinAustin]

I find pictures of people wearing clothes offensive.

Is a tattoo artist also guilty for the art he/she is commissioned to do?

[Gentleman Villain]

Don't pretend for a split second that the women are victims...They love to be worshipped and get-off at being the center of attention. I'm not saying that photographers are perfect...I'm just saying that it takes two to tango

I'm more uncomfortable with your grammar.

Some thoughs should be Some Thoughts

knowing that they will hunt should be knowing it will haunt

To answer your question; Doesn't make me no never-mind. ;)

+1. Besides, shouldn't this be in the Discuss Nude/Glamour section? Unless papa's gonna post some pictures, I think this should be moved, along with papa...

The OP is right.. I'm gonna start shooting birds landscapes from now on.

I personally don't take nude photo's. Not because i have a problem with it, but 1. No-one is offering to pose for me, and 2. I don't have enough confidence in my ability, to approach someone about doing a clothed shoot, let alone a naked shoot haha!

The sort of people that would pose naked are proud of their bodies, so there's no reason that the images should haunt them later on IMHO.

I'm not sure where you're coming from really, but I doubt anyone is posting pictures on here against their models wishes. Are you asking because YOU think it's immoral, or are you thinking about posting a picture without the permission of the model!?!

[colormaniac]

Just a thought. Maybe the original question is not about consenting adult models having nude pictures, but about posting their pictures on the internet which makes the pictures so accessible to anyone. So, maybe the focus is: whether the models consent to such posting, whether the models mean the pictures to be showed in less accessible ways, etc.

[Mark_Cohran]

If the model signs a release with standard language per the ASMP guidelines, posting those images on the web is perfectly acceptable. If the model has an issue with that, then she should state so up-front and propose restrictive language for the release which the photographer can then accept (if he wants to shoot with that model) or reject (if he prefers to keep all the options for usage open). If I have a release, and I want to use the images on the web, I don't see an issue with it. I do have one model that has requested I not use her real name, and that's fine with me and I'll respect her wishes in that regard. But, she was very upfront about that and it seemed a minor request to get the images.

Who is hunting these women?

Considering that the modern aversion to nudity in society is a fairly recent development arising from Victorian times, I don't have much trouble taking or posting sensual images. Take a quick look at Renaissance art, the old masters, even the Sistine Chapel and you'll see that pre-Victorian societies had a far more rational view of the human body than post-Victorian ones.

[Karl Johnston]

Rather than flaming you from the start, I'd want to get clarification on what you mean by "haunting" the women.

I think you're a bit confused about how these guys get work.

... I am very comfortable with taking nude photos of adult consenting models. Sometimes they even pay ME to take nude photos of them. I in no way feel like I am doing anything wrong, immoral or dirty. ...

I'm agree.

I believe that the only real concern is make beautiful art nude.

The only problem is it that it is difficult to photograph the nude, but when done well i'am enchanted, i have the same feeling when i looking at works of art.

Note:
For the moment I have not ever taken naked photos, but one day I hope to be able to value the model.

If the model cares that much (and many do), that is their, and theirs alone, obligation to make sure that the photos be used in a way that suites them. It their nudity is something they want to protect then they should not get naked in front of a lens, never mind sign over unlimited rights to the photographer....just my 2cents

Whenever I post a casting call I'm very specific about what I'll be shooting and stick with that concept throughout the shoot. It's up to the models to decide what they're comfortable with. If they answer the casting call then I damn well expect them to be adults and act the part. Pretty simple really.

During my last TF*/Portfolio shoot the model wanted some 'implied' nudes. We shot lot's of them, every now and then a little more skin might show and would go beyond the 'implied' criteria. Most of the time they get deleted but there was on shot I kept and uploaded to the password protected proofs gallery, it was a great shot. I'm leaving it up to her whether she wants to use it or not.

Many of the models I work with are quite proud of their nude images. Some of them worry about what their parents would think and I believe this affects their decisions on what to shoot, generally limiting themselves to fine art nudes. Some have done full on porn or work as strippers. I don't judge and don't care what they've shot in the past. I just expect them to be professional and help me accomplish what I've set out to do.

Haunted? Sounds like a personal problem.
