I regret the pictures I took...
Last week for the first time I took nude photographs. The shoot was supposed to be implied but the photographer kept telling me he had to have body shots for his port since he had none and that my identity and face would remain anonymous. We took many artistic and commercial shots in black and white with white sheets. We did several poses and when I got my pictures back there were many were u could see everything genitals and all WITH my face exposed. I know at the time I let him take the photographs but NEVER did I intend on taking full nude pictures, probably my whole career. I plan on going into acting and if I ever make a name for myself I don't want these pictures to come back after me. I regret taking any full nudes. The other ones were cool now I'm uncomfortable and uneasy that there are nude pictures of me out there. What can I do? Yeah yeah I know I agreed at the time but I regret it now and I don't feel right. Is there anything I can do to protect my privacy? Sep 23 08 02:02 pm Link Just tell the photog what you have posted here, I would never want to offend a model with publishing photos like this they did not want. See if he can edit them, hopefully this works out. Sep 23 08 02:05 pm Link I understand your frustation for the future, my advise will be to buy out the photographer by asking him to give you back the release form you've probably sign get the images back from him if you can and pay for the photo session so that way he will have no legal rights over your images, and they will not be able to sell them, publish or disperse them in a legal way. ( my personal opinion) If he is a good professional photographer he will agree. Sep 23 08 02:06 pm Link Maybe you could buy him out? Let him sign an agreement that for a certain amount of money he won't use them in public. I don't know if that is possible in your case but I heard that some people do that  And if you can't, why not just be proud of them. You look pretty and if they are meant to be artistic and they look that way... Well than I wouldn't worry about it Sep 23 08 02:08 pm Link Do u think its too late to get a release signed, that maybe the photographs can never be sold to any third parties or something like that? Sep 23 08 02:08 pm Link You are upset because you are going into acting and don't want those photos to surface later. I'm curious then, what if these photos surfaced? They include nudity or implied nudity. https://www.modelmayhem.com/pic.php?pic … id=4892657 https://www.modelmayhem.com/pic.php?pic … id=6998908 American prudes see it all the same.

Sadly, there is no written word from him that says he won't use your face in those photos. If all else fails you can at least request that he crop out your face and not credit you if he so chooses to put them in his port. But because all you have is his verbal word, nothing written other than the model released, then he has the right to do what he wants with your photos. My best advice is to message him (or call him) and explain your situation in the most polite and respectful way possible. If he isn't willing to not use the photos, find some sort of compromise you can both agree to. Sep 23 08 02:13 pm Link Miss Santos wrote: If you have NOT signed a release, DON'T. Without a release from you he cannot legally sell the images elswhere. Sep 23 08 02:13 pm Link i hate surprises and feel no qualms about stopping a shoot that does not fit the original agreement. talk to the photographer. explain your situation. he promised not to shoot your face, but he did-- which is pretty shitty in my book. be nice and professional, but get your point across while standing your ground. without a release signed, then he cannot use the shots commercially but he can in his port. Sep 23 08 02:18 pm Link Sep 23 08 02:20 pm Link Just explain to the photographer that you're not comfortable with the pictures. And next time, stand your ground. Sep 23 08 02:20 pm Link Miss Anna Evans wrote: Agreed, but I was attempting to be nice. ;] Sep 23 08 02:22 pm Link I'm not positive as to the legal for your state, but what I would do is tell him(?her?) that you felt you were mislead as to the composition of the pictures and you would like the most objectionable destroyed or at least to have the originals and any copies cropped so that you're not recognizable. If the photog wont do that for you after you were mislead, they're a slimeball (or incompetent, you don't "accidentally" expose more that you were trying to shoot if you're even halfway decent behind the lens). And if that's the case, you should get the word out on here and wherever you can warning about them, then I think you would have legal recourse as you were lied to about the content and composition of the pictures from the beginning. Good luck. -joshua Sep 23 08 02:23 pm Link Talk to him, let him know how you feel and be willing to buy the rights to the images if necessary.

I am hoping that pointing out that her portfolio already contains images that some people will consider much more scandalous than just nudity will help her to get a better perspective on the situation. Sep 23 08 02:26 pm Link The best you can do is give this photographer a call and discuss your shoot. If they are reasonable, they will be willing to not post the photos as some part of a deal. Buying out the rights to the photos may be the best way to ensure they do not surface. Sep 23 08 02:27 pm Link Jessalyn wrote: Just love the way you group all Americans together.

Sep 23 08 02:29 pm Link If they are good...you might want to consider nude jobs..I hear they pay well  Sep 23 08 02:29 pm Link Not really sure that you have a problem. Have you spoken with the photographer? Maybe he intends on cropping them. Sep 23 08 02:30 pm Link Ummm the photo Miss anna linked is far worse sorry. sounds to me like you should learn the word "NO. It's a complete answer. Sympathy for you? No Sep 23 08 02:30 pm Link New Dawn Photography wrote: She said American prudes, not Americans full stop.

Sep 23 08 02:31 pm Link just...ya know...personal opinion... I think your avatar picture and at least three other pictures in your port might "hurt" you too. the only difference is half an inch of elastic. Sep 23 08 02:31 pm Link Miss Santos wrote: wow you see that as artistic? I don't, its worse than the nudes in most ports. Trust me that's how america will see it as Sep 23 08 02:31 pm Link .....Artistic nude is Wrong to you.....But you are doing the Squat Porn pose in your Avitar?..... no fashion.. alll lusty implied shots.. My personal Opinion.... you got a better shot making More money NUDE modeling..rather then a Struggling actress.. oh..and Im not even gonna Mention the Lick the Honey off a Titty shot~.... PORN....NOT ART... i for one..should be able to tell the difference.. AS I DO BOTH. Sep 23 08 02:32 pm Link Atomic energy wrote: Agreed Sep 23 08 02:32 pm Link If you didn't sign a release, don't! There are, in most states of the U.S., significant limits on what he can do with them without a release. Just a caveat -- that does not always apply in other countries. Have you talked to the photog? I've often agreed to keep face/name anonymous, and to avoid showing too much in anything I would publish, display or post. I always honor that even though many of the raw images show face, or unwanted details. That all gets fixed in post-processing, and the other pictures never see the light of day. It's generally a long, long way between the images that come out of the camera and those that actually go out the door.

Be nice, not combative to increase the likelihood of success.

I don't care if people thought badly of those in the future. My issue is pictures of my full body with my face and my frontal privates exposed COMPLETELY when I was told my face wouldn't be in them.
