It is powerful, evocative, sculptured, bold and unique to you! It is you! You will have images to look back on and go &#8211; wow that is\/was me! To create images like these should be one of your aims in doing nude &#8211;\u00a0<strong>if\u00a0you<\/strong>\u00a0so choose to.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How do I know if the photographer is experienced and competent<\/strong>\u00a0at Nude Photography? Ask him or her, do a partial or implied nude shot or two &#8211; with the option to delete the images immediately if you don&#8217;t like it. You will soon get an idea of the skill of the photographer and make up your mind then.<\/li>\n<li><strong>I don&#8217;t feel comfortable doing nude &#8211; should I do it?<\/strong>\u00a0You can try? and if you really don&#8217;t like it &#8211; ask for the images to be deleted immediately in front of you or simply say &#8211; no thanks &#8211; It is OK to say no.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>The photographer is willing to pay me to do nudes &#8211; Should I do it?<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0In most cases &#8211; he \/ she is paying you because \u00a0they may not have enough credibility \/ skills to do nudes OR they may be selling it to magazines to cover the cost of their payment to the model. In either case &#8211; it is your decision &#8211; If the images are being sold on &#8211; you want to know where and in what context it will be used &#8211; otherwise do not agree to it. Personally I would say no in this situation! <strong>There is NO professional Photographer I know of that has EVER paid a FB model to do nudes (other than to have complete rights\u00a0to do what ever and sell to whoever)<\/strong>, BUT I do know of MANY Facebook (professional) Photographers (on FB Modelling groups) that have paid girls to get their gear off to shoot (in other than a workshop scenario). <strong>Why<\/strong>? <strong>Because a professional photographer gets PAID to photograph their clients &#8211; clothed and\/or nude<\/strong>. NOT the other way around!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Does the photographer\u00a0own\u00a0and operate their own studios?<\/strong>\u00a0This will give you some sense of security if they do! If they don&#8217;t &#8211; again &#8211; I would probably say don&#8217;t do it!\u00a0There are exceptions to this &#8211; not many!.\u00a0Most photographers don&#8217;t own their own studio and may speak of a studio as their&#8217;s &#8211; but they probably lease \/ hire it as they require it on a hourly basis or on a more long term basis and sublet \/ rent it to others!<\/li>\n<li><strong>How do i know if my nude photographs are good or not?\u00a0<\/strong>Google and research nude photography and images and look at what you consider to be tasteful and acceptable to you &#8211; then keep in mind your own body shape and looks and evaluate the results of a few test shots against your research and own body! Ask to delete images immediately if you do not like it. Don&#8217;t be afraid to try it in another location or setting or outfit or pose &#8211; things could look entirely different!<\/li>\n<li><strong>I like the idea &#8211; but I am weary of it being published or misused as I read in the papers.<\/strong>\u00a0If a professional photographer publishes nude images of a person without his or her consent &#8211; the reputation of the photographer will be in tatters. Most (or ALL that I know of) images released to compromise a person have been from ex-lovers &#8211; jilted and seeking revenge &#8211; I do NOT know of a single professional photographer who has released photographs in other than these situations &#8211; not to say it never occurred &#8211; but non that I know of.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ex-partners \/ Lovers probably have more photo&#8217;s and videos of their partners<\/strong> that could compromise an individual than any Professional Photographer could probably ever do!<\/li>\n<li><strong>My friend is a model and she said she has never done nudes of any sort!<\/strong>\u00a0this is MOST likely a false statement to boost her own sense of self\u00a0righteousness or self worth or standing as a model .. or for what ever reason. Most models I know of have done either implied, partial or full nudes already or will do so at some point in their career \/ life &#8211; In MY opinion &#8211; also &#8211; just take a look at history.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h6><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Summary:<\/strong><\/span><\/h6>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Try the idea<\/strong> &#8211; if you like the results &#8211; continue.
