Nip Slips - The Uncovered Truth
You know you all have taken then or have had them taken, usually accidentally. Do you delete them? Keep them archived with the rest? Inquiring minds and all... Mar 02 10 05:33 pm Link I play fair. If the model is not doing a shoot where bits are showing then I delete the slips with the other mistakes.

Sometimes I will allow the model to sit and chimp with me to be sure no nipps are making their introduction.

Mar 02 10 05:38 pm Link Nipple slips (and worse) are just par for the course with fashion. If they're totally unintentional and inappropriate I flag them as rejects, so they don't show up in proofs that go to my team or the model's agency, and they eventually get deleted when the images get moved off my edit machine and into RAID storage. I don't delete anything until that point. Mar 02 10 05:38 pm Link I delete them, either while reviewing during the shoot, or after if I find them during processing. My assistant usually let me know if it's happening anyway so we'll stop and the model can adjust clothing. Mar 02 10 05:41 pm Link A M Johnson wrote: +1 Mar 02 10 05:43 pm Link I generally archive all shots from every shoot, but if there is any accidental nudity beyond what the model agreed to then I point it out to the model, tell her if I think the image is a keeper or would just sit in a DVD in my safe, and ask what her preference is. I've deleted a few fantastic shots because of that, but I've also had models who "don't do nudes" decide that I was trustworthy enough to do nude work with because of it. Treating people with courtesy and respect almost always pays off better than hiding things from them. Model photography is no exception. Mar 02 10 05:43 pm Link I don't delete anything except flash misfires and closed eyes, but I don't use slips either. Whatever the agreement is with the model is what I abide by. if we did nudes and a nipple pops out, its not going to be a big deal either way. This shot is actually a nip slip but we did full nudes so it didn't matter, and the model has it in her port. http://www.lumigraphics.com/models/imag … eth_II.jpg 18+ Mar 02 10 06:14 pm Link I delete them as soon as I spot them. Whether that's in camera, or when I'm editing. (unless the model does nudes, and is okay with the nip slip) Mar 02 10 06:18 pm Link While I understand that there is a certain feeling of conquest to get models who don't shoot nude to shoot implied.... Book models who already do nudes when you want to shoot implieds and this suddenly becomes a non issue. Mar 02 10 06:20 pm Link I delete 80% of all the pictures I take, based on strength of the photo. Nip slip may be a component of it, but not a deciding factor. Mar 02 10 06:21 pm Link i wouldn't delete them from the back of the camera - what if the shot is great, and it just needs a bit of retouching so the nip doesn't show?

Mar 02 10 06:24 pm Link Gosh, do I have to tell. I generally delete them. Eventually. But not in-camera. Mar 02 10 06:24 pm Link I remember doing a shoot in a corset once. The corset was a little loose up top, so in certain poses, certain bits would show. I saw the shots afterward and was devastated that the photographer used one of the nip slip ones for her port. She removed it when I brought it to her attention, but it broke my heart a bit because I didn't sign up for anything resembling topless (furthermore, I'm a preschool teacher/nanny, so "topless" images like that can really have a negative impact on my career). Mar 02 10 06:30 pm Link If its a usable shot - I talk with the model, sit and show them the shot and do whatever the model wants (which is usually photoshop out the slip and use the shot) if the shot is not usable .. trash Mar 02 10 06:33 pm Link

Reason: violates rules Comments: Please do not make BS posts in the industry forums. Mar 02 10 06:39 pm Link Usually, they get deleted. However, if it's a great photo and post-production can cover up the slip then I'd consider keeping it. Also, for slips, I often share them with the model before deleting (it the photo is a good one). Fair is fair and if a model isn't comfortable then that can potentially bite me in the @ss in the future. Mar 02 10 06:40 pm Link I save everything. I have images archived that are pure black because strobes didn't fire. I have no question that I'll never use or want these files, but I don't prune my raw files before I save them. If the image is otherwise super awesome, I rescue it with photoshop. If there's another equally good frame without a nip slip, I obviously opt for that one. Or if the pose/expression isn't *that* good I'll skip it. Mar 02 10 06:46 pm Link John Jebbia wrote: Agreed. I don't want to shoot anything revealing with someone that is paranoid about something 'slipping'. Mar 02 10 06:49 pm Link I usually share images with the model as we shoot always with the option of deleting anything she doesnt like, even if its just the way she smiles. I have been surprised at some images that I tough because of a slip would be deleted Mar 02 10 06:51 pm Link I don't always delete them because maybe I can fix the slip with some PS if the rest of the shot rocks. But one thing is for sure, I never post any alternate slip shots in my portfolio. I've seen cool shots in the model's portfolio.. I see the photographer's link on the photo and check out the photographer's page.. and they have version of the shot with a nip in it. I don't post anything the model and I didn't agree on before the shoot. If they seemed particularly concerned about it.. I may not even tell them if there was a slip because they might unnecessarily worry that the shot would get out. And if the slip ever did see the light of day, it could only be traced back to me. Integrity and honoring your agreement with the model is everything otherwise you wind up with someone bad mouthing you.. it's so not worth it. Mar 02 10 06:57 pm Link I usually show it to the model, and let her decide. Mar 02 10 07:31 pm Link A M Johnson wrote: "I play fair. If the model is not doing a shoot where bits are showing then I delete the slips." Indeed. A lot of the models I work with are new to concept, so why create trust issues? KAW. Mar 02 10 07:32 pm Link If I delete those pics, I'd have little to show. On the other hand, I probably wouldn't delete any clothing slips. Mar 02 10 07:35 pm Link I have one in my port.... didn't mean for it to show, but oh well.

Mar 02 10 07:49 pm Link I promise the models that if it's not supposed to show no one will ever see it. Depending on the quality of the photo I'll either delete, retouch or (on some rare occasions) go back to the model and ask for permission to show it. There is at least one in my current picture set that has been fixed. Mar 02 10 07:50 pm Link Lumigraphics wrote: This is what I do as well. Mar 02 10 07:54 pm Link I actually have one in my portfolio, here. Neither the model, nor I noticed it for almost a year after it was shot, and this was one of the first images I gave her from this shoot. When she pointed it out to me, she laughed and told me, "I can't believe my parents have a picture with one of my nipples in it hanging on their wall!" I apologized, and told her I'd be happy to fix it in PS, and reprint it for her, but she wasn't concerned about it, at all. She said it was her "first nudie picture."

It has nothing to do with "conquest." Mar 02 10 11:27 pm Link
