What he's saying here is that there's not necessarily 1 "right" answer to this question. It's going to vary from person to person. Usually in these cases the only answer that matters is the one you choose for yourself.

That said, I would tend to consider it implied.

Your shot might be considered nude because of the visible outline of nipple...

Agreed.

If this is an "implied" shot then that makes all bodypaint implied nudity. Not in my opinion....if you are bodypainted you are still nude.

She is partially covered with opaque body paint. So not nude.

This is one of those syntax grey area.  Technically, if the genitalia or nipples can be clearly seen.. It's nude.  Any non-clothing that prevents them from being seen: towel, ribbon, body posture, prop, or appendage.. Technically that's implied if the model is not dressed to society's current standards.  Body paint is a hard area to address.. I've seen body paint done so well that the model can walk out in public because people aren't paying to close attention.. But all it takes is one person to notice and it can be a police issue.

If this was in my portfolio I'd mark it as adult - 18 over only just to be on the safe side of any possible legal issue.

By MM rules your first image is NSFW and can not be displayed as an Avatar or on your Bio page.

It's like we need to define nude as if you can tell what is there, it's nude or we need another category to cover this case (be it body paint or wet t-shirt or whatever)

it seems like models who don't do nudes will do bodypaint. so for them it isn't nude. to me if i can see nipples it's nude.

as far as mayhem i don't know if you have to mark them 18+ or not. i would be inclined to mark it as NSFW myself.

I would consider it Body Painted, yet Implied is the closest I would believe it to be.

Why does it matter?

If you want to know if a model will do a particular idea, ask the model if she'll do it.  The only person's opinion that matters is the model.

I'm reminded of medieval scholars debating how many teeth a horse has.

Nude or not, it doesn't matter.  Does the OP move in social circles that will judge him for photographing this image?  Does he care?  It will do him no good to argue semantics with his peers.

Butt crack/No Butt crack. Hence why one is ok and the other is not.

It's bodypaint, it would be implied if more skin was showing in private areas.

In my opinion this is Implied, since any 'inappropriate' parts are not readily seen, however I would still mark it as 'NSFW'/'Mature' because there are some audiences that would claim it to be to revealing.

You will notice that there is no agreement here.  The answers vary all across the board.  That was the reason for my reply.

Yes she would be nude: before, during and after the shoot, and after the shower.

Even if she was facing the other way, she would still be nude, no?

Well, that settles it.  big_smile

Of course, by that logic, THIS isn't a nude either (18+)

Although covered, there is still too much nippy at view. This would make my 12yo nephew sooooo happy. Otherwise it is a beautiful pic.
