This is true and perhaps I took it wrong but you add the word Americans it singles us out. Why not just say prudes. Why attack a certain nationality as though that is the way "They" are.

Because America is pretty much the only country that would get in a tizzy about this.  Don't act brand new.  This is a given.

Just think about this concern for all of your photos, not just the ones you are referring to in your original post.

Having looked at the OP port i am really surprised shes upset...
the whole lot are very sexual teasing eye candy ''men's style'' shots!

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?

I dealt with a Model last year that regreted doing implied nudes with me.  Her fears were as irrational as your are.

Seriously, when was the last time nude photos actually hurt (as in financial ruin) the career of an actress?  If anything, it HELPS their career as the doors that closed were offset by the doors that opened. So, unless you want to acting for family oriented or religious outlets (Disney, 700 Club, etc.) I have a hard time believing that nude images will hurt you.

As to what to do:

1. You can offer a buy out to the Photographer.  This would be the right thing to do since you are now telling him that you don't want him to benefit from the time and investment that he made in the shoot.

2. Live with your choice and celebrate your body at this time and space.  I shoot a lot of older women that wished that they had taken pictures of themselves in their prime.  It's ironic that you now fear what I think you will cherish in the next 15-20 years.

exactly..anyone who thinks a nude is scandalous will think that lesbian action shots are scandalous, you bent in a tiny g-string is scandalous and so on.  you already shot yourself in the foot if you are worried about people seeing the nude photos as harming to your career

The first one is someone elses breast just my tongue nothing I'd ever be ashamed of because it is artistic. The second one you can barely see anything.

None of this makes any sense because in your original post you said, quote, "We took many artistic and commercial shots in black and white with white sheets. "

Now you're saying the one in your port is artistic and you'd never be ashamed of it. Either you're ashamed of artistic nudes or you're not. Which is it?

Yes, but ---YOUR--- face is a major component in a highly erotic image with a bare breast. Puritans are not gonna take kindly to that either.

Struggling actress? Nobody needs your negativity. Your opinion is dismissed

Disney won't even fire you.  Vanessa Hutchens (sp?) anyone?  Shit.  Her nude "scandal" helped her.

LOL, Disney can't possibly fire someone for that considering they own Touchstone Pictures...(the movie company).

All the movies that are too risque' for "family" they release under "Touchstone."

then obviously we are not going to be concerned with your plight.

seriously, licking a "sticky substance" off some chicks nipple (even though you are not touching her) is going to ruin your big acting career more than pictures of your hoo haa.

at first i felt sympathetic towards you, then i looked at your port and became very very confused.

its a bit sexual much? If you have pictures like that online, with your face clearly in the picture, I would be more worried about this image than nude ones.


that picture is more erotic than artistic IMO maybe for horney old men it will be artistic

I'm sorry you felt pressured to do nude pics BUT you could have ended the shoot right then & there. People, the photograher in your case, only take as much as they can get. You went too far but ultimately it was YOUR own choice. I also must ask two questions: first, why is it ok to show your vagina just because your face wasn't exposed? Second, do you realize the pics you have NOW would come back to haunt you if you were to become a "legit" actress? Think about it...

Because the OP is in America (U.S.). Prudes in France are probably different from prudes in the U.S.

You could be right, I suppose so I appologise for that. However, I really would like to point something out...I've lived in America my whole life and traveled around much of it. There are certainly a great deal of people here with prudish attitudes. However, even their opinions vary a great deal. This country is huge. The way most of the world seems to view alot about us is vary black and white. It really isn't so much that way. Much of the problem has to do with what the media portrays. It always shows the worst of the worst for ratings and sales and those who do most of the complaining about things like nudity are the extreamists. It just gets very tiring seeing everyone saying "American" this and that when there are such a wide variaty of opinions here.

First as a Photographer I would have respected your concerns and done them tastefully, and second if your telling me you don't want them posted in public domain, then they woun't be, but I cannot speak for the photographer. if he is a porn sleeze he is gonna post them. your best bet is to review the contract you signed, and see if you consented to nudity being placed in public access.

This is my point. The country really doesn't get in a tizzy over these things. Some here do and they get all the press coverage be throw fits. So people in the rest of the world, and many here, see it as a givin that most of us see it this way and, although too many do, I think most of us don't.

I disagree.
I don't think it's as dire as some make it out to be, but the average person still thinks Playboy is real porn and that right there is telling.

American prudes see it all the same.

That first shot, especially.  Not only is there nudity, but it's very sexual in nature.  If that doesn't bother you, than I really don't see why some tastefully done, artistic nudes would effect your career any differently.

Unless you girls make it to the "Hally-Berry-20-million-dollars-per-movie-level", what are the REAL chances these pictures are gonna bite you in the ass?
