I would totally do these artistic kinds with a good photographer
where nothing is showing

Like Suz said - it depends on the pose and what you're doing it for. I think that as long as you're comfortable with it, you should do whatever you want.

Bill Dobbins does some great stuff and I think the photo Suz posted is art - not porn, although I don't really care either way what people do.

To each their own mine were not artistic, lol.
When your 18 and 19 don't ever think about it but know I worry about my boys running across them. I know their dad still has the pics.

There's nothing wrong with them, IMO. You're not running for office, right? ;) I have nudes out there, as well and am not ashamed of them. Everyone has a different comfort level and a different set of values, though - and I respect that.

I have done them....and I'm not sure how I feel about them in the future to be honest. My decision to do nudes has come with some ramifications in certain areas of my life that I'm not sure I'm comfortable with.

It's important to really think long and hard about doing something like nude photography. Putting photos out on the web has far more reaching effects then most people realize, and I learned it the hard way. I'm not embarrassed or ashamed of anything I've done, you live and learn, and in the future if I chose to do nudes I will conduct myself in an entirely different manner then I had in the past.

Lol, I don't like reading between the lines and assuming. Have I or would I do nudes? yes I have done them. plain and simple. There were times I would send them to husband via text. I find it hard to believe in this day and age that a married couple has never took nude photos of one another.

Not every body was meant to be immortalized in art, even for a completely private collection.

If you have found the outer limits of human potential, however, why not leave a record (even sealed) of it?

I'm so over the 'what if someone finds out?' stuff for just about everything. She doesn't know about webcam, but I'm raising an open-minded kid.

SweetCapri
02-04-2010, 01:38 PM
Tre, I don't think this has anything to do with having to be over the "what if" people find out, but more about the ramifications of doing this type of photography, like Allifit said, and how society views individuals who choose to do so. It also depends on what you risk by doing so...if an employee or your boss finds out, how will they react? Do you work in an institution or organization that frowns upon nudity? If so, then you have a lot more to think about than your own personal artsy nude photos.
But in the end it's a personal choice and it all depends on your level of comfort and what you are willing to risk for it. For example, I'm comfortable with the artsy kind of nudes like Bill Dobbins, but I'd die if I had pics of my coochie out in the open on the web. Just not for me. I also know that if my employer found photos of me on the internet, I wouldn't be penalized for it, unless of course, there were pics of me with my legs wide open showing all kinds of holes and stuff.

married couple taking nudes for each other or of one another wasnt what she was asking or speaking of:pI am sure many have done that.She was speaking more of nudes by a photographer for the world to see..

Totally understood. You're too smart for my own good. ;)

I'm cool with moral turpitude clauses for those who work in industries where squeaky clean images help to drive sales. But I'm also cool with the rest of us having a place to play and do business as well.

As an aside, I absolutely hate run-of-the-mill porn. Love me some sensual stuff, hate porn. I need something left to the imagination and it's rare that you'll see a beautifully photographed hoo-ha.

Nonsense. Your boobs look fine from what I see of your pics. However, if you don't want to do nudes. No worries. It is a personal decision for every woman to do or not to do nudes. ;)

So tell us now Sassy, what have your past and present employers thought about your bodybuilding activities and the contest as well as photoshoot pictures? Good,Bad, indifferent? Just curious since you are in the occupation you are and how you dealt with the workplace issues, if there are any.

Exactly- was my point. :yep: Dependent on what you do for a living, family morals and values, and any other personal relationships you may have- this type of material can have ramifications more far reaching then you may have initially thought. You'll also need to consider how it affects you moving forward- some people simply can't and won't view an individual who's done nudes as the sort of person they want to employ/date/associate with etc. It's unfortunate, but that's the truth. And the majority of the world doesn't differentiate between "artistic nudes" and "porn nudes", a nude is a nude, you're naked in front of a photographer and there's an image depicting that floating around out there. For most people- that's all they need to know....body positioning, tastefulness, the class of the photographer, or the use of the material doesn't matter. All they hear is "nude" and they're already drawing their own conclusions.

I've really never gotten anything but positive feedback from people at work. They see the physique changes and watch me eat the same stuff every day, skip the team outings and holiday parties. This one that Tom Nine posted the other day .. yea.. I don't think I'm going to point that out to anyone at work, but they've found my competition posing routines and have really liked them! I do try to make my routines more entertaining or have a theme so I suppose that helps for those who have no idea about body building. But generally - I work with mostly guys, and mostly Indian & Asian people - so I think mostly they just think I'm one of those "nutty Americans".

The thing is, these are friends & co-workers who know me. If someone who doesn't know me, comes across those photos & videos and they are interested in me for a new job, it makes me wonder if that would impact their interest in my from a professional standpoint. I think when you get the chance to meet someone and let them in on your passion for the gym and the dedication and determination it represents, it gives it more context and reduces the stereotype association where I bet they start wondering if you do porn or not.

A good mixture may be americanized Indian and Asian people. Born here and went to school here, There are also a mix of those who just came over and went to college here eventually working here. There are a lot of them at the University of Maryland. Having interesting routines makes for good entertainment. Alot of people appreciate good routines as works of art Remember my 'Artistic FBB routines' thread?

jlgiller has a good point. If you do nudes when you are young and carefree, you don't know if it is something you will regret later in life. Personally, I really wouldn't have a problem doing nudes if the price was right and I had artistic control. However, I think my employer would have a problem with it so not going to happen. It was a little uncomfortable when I realized people at work were all sending my contest pics all over the office.

That's a work problem, not a you problem.

Since people at work already know me & know who I am, the contest photos are just that much more interesting - I've never gotten a negative comment from anyone at work. At least not directly to my face. It was a little uncomfortable when I got a comment from basically the VP of my division saying I looked great, but oh well. Nothing but positive response & support.

The thing I worry about is potential employers who might see those & not actually know me or get a chance to talk to me to find out who I am and where the bodybuilding stuff fits in my life.

i was going to do a guest bartending gig to raise money for my shows last year, i had invited all the guys that work with me, (i work on a trading desk) when my boss found out he basically told me i was not allowed to go forward with guest bartending and that is was against our work policies... i cant even imagine what would happen if i had nude photos out there somewhere. i am actually surprised that the show pics havent been an issue yet...

EXACTLY two of my points from earlier. Doing nude work is something that needs to be well thought out and executed. It's important to do nudes with a photographer you trust (if you chose to do them) and that you retain the rights or a portion of the rights to the photographs so that you have a say in dictating how they will be used. Just doing nudes for a paysite can be disastrous- you lose any and all say in how and when the content will be used.

I just think this is a shame.....a shame that people are so narrow minded that even contest photos are an issue.....:no:

As if politicians are so much more squeaky clean than the rest of us. lol They just have to look like they are. I prefer being an open book and not having to hide anything, regardless of what other people sometimes think.

I do believe that everything in your past that you have experienced, right or wrong - makes you the person you are today. I also think that people who have lived life without a lot of hangups are much more interesting than people who live their life afraid of what people think.

I know sometimes we don't have a choice - especially when it comes to an employer. I totally understand having to be discrete in order to protect your income.

I will take this in a slightly different direction philosophically. This being a woman's forum the assumption would obviously be that Tammy directed the question to her female friends. But there are many men who have chimed in on the conversation and have maintained the conversation on the female side. So I, being male, will add my 2 cnts strictly from a philosophical standpoint and by no means am attempting to high jack the post from the women. I would have little problem doing artistic nude photographs. I work in the entertainment industry *no not porn* so I may have more leeway than most. But, for me, the idea of the nude human physique is the epitome of art. FWIW.

I modelled nude (legs closed) for various mags here in Australia. I did 8 spreads, 2 of which were centrefolds and 8 pages each! I have been on 3 covers!
I have no regrets....I thought long and hard about this and being in my 30's I feel I was able to make a mature decision and weigh up all the conseqences! I still love my photos and am very comfortable with anybody seeing them, which is how anybody should feel if they decide to be photographed nude!

In Australia and the UK, they have a different outlook on nudity than in the US.

I will have to plead the 5th on any "possible" nude/semi nude pics on the internet. :D

Kidding aside, I keep my internet identity guarded and tightly wrapped. There's WAY too much information to be had, even to the point of accessing personal identifiable information on people. I was shocked to find that someone can access my college transcripts for 8 bucks from a clearing house. I immediately put a lock on my account through the school I attended. Personal information for a potential employer should be given on a "need to know" basis with MY approval.

As far as pictures, I'm just weird about publishing pics (even on Facebook) let alone passing pics around through email. I work for large, well known company, so my risk of exposure with nude/semi nude pics is a lot higher. People do judge out in the work place. It's unfortunate, but true.

I modelled nude (legs closed) for various mags here in Australia. I did 8 spreads, 2 of which were centrefolds and 8 pages each! I have been on 3 covers!
I have no regrets....I thought long and hard about this and being in my 30's I feel I was able to make a mature decision and weigh up all the conseqences! I still love my photos and am very comfortable with anybody seeing them, which is how anybody should feel if they decide to be photographed nude!

I think that's the key. If there is even a twinge of indecision or fear of what may come, don't do it.

My use my mother as my ruler. Obviously, she's pretty open minded - but if I feel uncomfortable showing her, then I wouldn't do it.

Artistic nude photography where muscularity shows would work for me but not the ones that show it all! Leave some for the imagination there? Proud of what you've achieved as far as toning your body so go for it and NEVER say NEVER..

In Australia and the UK, they have a different outlook on nudity than in the US.

Si Correcto. I can't work the US out. Sometimes things seem so 'radical' and modern over there but there is an underlying and brutal conservatism that seems to dictate so much.

What's the difference between artistic nude and nude for Gods sake? Either way you're in your Birth day outfit.

Funny how money affects decisions isn't it? Where did those ethics go?

Is there a link between artistic nude and the sex industry? At what point is it 'artistic' and at what point is it 'porn'? How far is too far? Let me provide an example if i will:-

YouTube- Trumpet - Simplifying Summer - Togs or Undies?

Interesting point Alli. I recall a conversation with Shannon Meteraud noting she gave up her personal website, which was a requirement to get hers and Tres kids in private school. Sometimes with refrain from exercising some freedoms to benefit our loved ones.


Exactly- was my point. :yep: Dependent on what you do for a living, family morals and values, and any other personal relationships you may have- this type of material can have ramifications more far reaching then you may have initially thought. You'll also need to consider how it affects you moving forward- some people simply can't and won't view an individual who's done nudes as the sort of person they want to employ/date/associate with etc. It's unfortunate, but that's the truth. And the majority of the world doesn't differentiate between "artistic nudes" and "porn nudes", a nude is a nude, you're naked in front of a photographer and there's an image depicting that floating around out there. For most people- that's all they need to know....body positioning, tastefulness, the class of the photographer, or the use of the material doesn't matter. All they hear is "nude" and they're already drawing their own conclusions.

I have few points on this that come into mind
Just to do them for everyone to see just because? NO... even for a small monetary value? NO... just not my thing, don't see or feel the need to personally.

But for a LARGE monetary value (like playboy money) I would have to think about it!! I am very comfortable in my own skin, and have no issue with it as long as I was ready for the ramifications (people's opinions), I feel its a personal choice. People will judge you regardless so you have to make a choice you're comfortable with in your personal life, professional life, family life etc.

Now "implied nudes" are another story... I personally feel those are often a lot sexier than full out nudes, and can be explained/shared easier in all avenues of your life.

I also think HOW and WHO the picture is taken with makes a HUGE difference...QUALITY!!!

Soft touched white background, perfect lighting, up-do, flawless makeup, sprawled nude with pearls strategically placed on your body= BEAUTIFUL/CLASSY PICS.
In a cheap hotel room, laying on a crumpled up ugly 90's print bedspread, black platforms in the air, orange peeling wall paper in the background, case of bed head = CHEAP/NOT CLASSY PICS!
