You have the audacity to march up in here and insult her like this when she was responding to you in a non trolling, non offensive manner? For your information, she got the same impression as I did from you initial post about nudes being pornography. If I were you, I would apologize to her. She didn't deserve that hot mess from you. Whatever bro.

Art of the nude wrote: Posting "topless implied nipple slips" will offend a lot more models than posting full nudes shot with the model's consent. And, hard as it may be to understand, nudity and pornography are different things. Neither is an essential part of the other. Antediluvian Design wrote: It is intentional and consentual nipple slippage which I feel are much sexier than just having it all hang out there. There is nothing like the viewer being teased. It leaves them wanting more which they never get. They are the photos I personally like the most. Not all will agree but that's just me. If it's actual, it's not implied. I did this, which is I guess the sort of thing you're talking about (18+, the bottom image) https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/19468943 But, normally, I don't shoot nudes with "sexy" as the goal.

The shoot today in my avatar one came out. Not gonna lie sexy as hell. Model doesn't want it used so it won't be used. Do I approve? You betcha. Would mom approve? Hell no. Do I think it's pornographic? Hell no. After I have seen the emotion of a simple nipple, I will strive to capture consentual nipple slips. In fact, I consider the nipple slip a form of rebellion from the oppressive authority of our modern day society.

Many if not most of the photographers on here are or were GWCs at one point. How many can honestly say "I got into photographing models because it seemed like a profitable career path with good benefits"? I'm not even a little bit ashamed to say that I really like to see the female form. It's programmed into my freaking DNA so there's no sense in trying to act like I'm some kind of noble superhuman who is immune to the drive that ensures the survival of our species. Our words and actions are what define us. I have photographed quite a few beautiful naked women and have enjoyed the experience tremendously. But I know what's right and what's wrong and I conduct myself in a manner where I treat everyone as an equal human being, with respect and dignity. OP, I don't know you personally. All I know about you I read in this thread and on your portfolio page. But I dare say you are one of us, a GWC. You're just ashamed of the title. Glenn WC http://gwcarter.smugmug.com

AD, put the skateboard and XBox down and grow a pair. Don't worry what others think about your nip slips and move out of moms house if she's going to rail your photos and cry pornography... oh and don't disrespect others in this industry because you may need to cross that bridge you burned down someday. Sincerely someone who apparently shots a lot of porn

AD What the hell dude( like that) you totally hijacked this thread! As a fine art photographer I am frustrated and insulted by you or your moms opinion about nude photography. Look your nip slips ( yes I know that you say the model approved) regardless of the way in which they were captured are meant to stir the purient interest of the viewer. Swank was right that motivation is the same as porn. Art nudes focus on light, shadow and line to create an artistic representation of the human body that goes as far back as the Greeks . They should never arrouse the purient interest of a viewer, unless of course your 12 years old. maybe I started late? Anyway you get my point. I don't think you wanted to create this shit storm, but you did that with your opinion on nudes. While GWCs shoot nudes, the corollary does not hold true... Those who shoot nudes are NOT ALWAYS GWCs

Oddly, everyone who has responded to the thread other than you disagrees with you. Models AND photographers. Maybe even someone who does neither. Perhaps there's a lesson in it when you are consistently the only one who is both immature and alone in your opinions. Or, for that matter, the only one who fits EITHER of those categories.

I read the entire thread sir. I know exactly what you mean when you say your mother would hate it. You hate nudes too. It's clear by what you have in your port and your thinly veiled and I might add snide comments. And it's not subterfuge BRO . If I showed your mother my work she would love it like most women I know. She would ask me why her son couldn't take beautiful, organic images like mine and stop shooting nip slips.

By attacking a majority of nude photographers and models for stating their case and disagreeing with you or trying to open a dialog and then acting immature and taking it personally shows a lack of experience... one of the characteristics of a GWC [and more to the point of the thread]. btw, Bro is someone close, trustworthy and shares your opinions, a friend, not someone you intend on demeaning for their differences.

You are dead wrong on that front sir. I think the work you and a few others who specialize in artistic nudes is extraordinary. That being said, for every one extraordinary photographer there are 10 who shoot sexy titillating content period. I fucking like a good nip slip. I think for now I will leave any nudity limited to the concealed nipple. I think its sexy. If i want a model nude and curled up in a ball with a metaphor of being an egg, then that is what I will do. That is what I want as a photographer. What is the fucking problem except arguing for the sake of arguing. I make the distinction I get it. I understand. Do you understand what I am trying to say? Or do you just fucking react?

(Here courtesy of someone posting a link of this in another thread) Hilarious, I'm slightly addicted to salaciousness, lurking is fun in general for all creatives, you can learn so much more about a pale of things/issues/etc - sometimes it's very informative. Most of the time it's "NOT", but when you're not involve you can sit back and watch it all unfold, with out having to argue over senseless, mindless bull****.
