Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am curious to see some interesting ideas/poses that represent Implied nudity WITHOUT the cliche' handbras or long hair. (and leave out the caution tape too.... LOL) Be it the angle or a prop as cover, let's see what you got.

thanks.

I consider this an Implied Nude shot, but on MM you can not show a Butt?

I'm missing the "implied" part

it's a nude plain and simple

I have always used the definition of "Implied Nude" as knowing that the model is nude but no "private" parts are visible.

Maybe the question should start as to what one considers "Implied Nude."  In the truest since there probably is no such thing as "Implied Nude."  You are either nude or you are not nude.

While your image is nice, it definitely does not imply any kind of nudity.  It is a model in a wrap or outfit whatever you would want to call it, but, in my opinion, it most definitely is not an "Implied Nude."

Believe it or not, the model is actually still wearing her bra (it's unhooked but is blocked from view by her back) as well as her panties (she pulled them down off her butt to her thighs, but they are still covering her genitals in front).

you defined nude quite well :Nudity is the state of wearing no clothing.[1] The wearing of clothing is exclusively a human characteristic. The amount of clothing worn depends on functional considerations (wiki)

the problem seems to be with the implied and the clothing smile

the wrap is not really clothing though the definition of clothing also varies widely

so is she wearing anything under the wrap

and if you are not sure......than it's "implied"

definition of implied :involved, indicated, or suggested without being directly or explicitly stated

Model is wearing panties and a bra, but we've got bubbles. Is that what you're talking about?

Again, I believe that it is all in the definition.  I believe that most people here on Model Mayhem would define "Implied Nude" as I have.  Please note that I have qualified my statement by saying that "I believe."

In both of the images that I have posted you know that the model is nude.  However I believe that my examples fix the definition of "Implied Nude" that the original poster was referring to.  I have looked at several of the other posters in this thread and they all appear to be along the same line as my images.

I think your statement "so is she wearing anything under the wrap and if you are not sure......than it's "implied" would be incorrect because your model is covered by the wrap so it has nothing to do with "Implied Nude."

Not to hijack this thread, but what does the original poster and others think?

Have the model pose on their back on a bed and cover their body tightly with a sheet.  One will be unable to determine whether they are clothed or not but the image will imply nudity.  Such is an example of the true photography definition of "implied".

This is an excellent example of implied:

demure nude is conservative nude as opposed to explicit nude but nude nevertheless

an implied nude is not really a nude

So what is a Conservsative Nude?  One that does not upset a Conservative versus a Liberal?  This appears to me to be a game of words and very Vague.

Also, would not this image be considered an Artist Nude even though the model's breasts are visible:

In an implied nude the nudity is implied.

If I know for sure the model is nude then it is a nude, regardless of whether I can see nipples or not.

yes but not implied and yes if you are not careful you may transgress the fine line between demure nudes and soft porn

If by "the way I do," you mean however they choose to define it, then yes.

But if you mean pretending to be naked when in fact they aren't, then no.

Everyone has their own definition. You should probably clarify it in the OP if you're not getting what you want, which it seems you're not.

it's not political issue :a demure nude does not show how you call in USA the hoohoos and weewees smile?

and whether a particular nude is an artistic nude depends on the taste and skill of the photographer

I have lived in the USA most of my life and I have never heard of anything called "hoohoos and weewees.

So now I am really confused, and Artistic Nude has to do with the "skill of the photographer?"  So an "unskilled photographer" is not capable of creating an "Artistic Nude?"  What skill level does the photographer need to be able to create an "Artistic Nude" in your opinion?

Artistic nude means it's not about the nudity.

Nude is more like Playboy.

Demure nude means they're nude but nothing is showing like you said in your OP.

Implied nude is giving the appearance and context of being nude, when they aren't (such as under a sheet).

They're all shades of grey. Like how Heavy Metal and Hard Rock are meant to be different things, but they're both still just Rock.

Also, if you never heard of "hoo hoo" or "wee wee," I really question you being from America. That's like saying you've never had Macaroni and Cheese. It's a child's term for private parts. Mostly forgotten when you get older and learn the technical terms like dong and poonany.

Weewee I might admit to, but in my 57 years I have never ever heard the term Hoohoo before.  Hooters yes... Hoohoos no!  Heard dong and poonany a lot and thankfully not much anymore.  Maybe it is where and how I was raised!  smile

It does require a high skill level to produce artistic nude - mostly B/W and lighting expertise, posing, anatomy..........

without the required skills your artistic nude is just most people's  soft porn even if you post it in B/W

Implied nude to me is an image that implies that the model is nude but that because of pose, camera angle, crop, lighting etc., you can't conclusively determine from the photo that the model doesn't have some strips of cloth somewhere.

I never understood all this confusion.  These terms have been around for a very long time.

Implied = the viewer is not sure the model is nude, but it is implied that they may be
Demure = the model or subject is nude but parts are covered i.e. the subject is being demure

My avatar is implied as Ashley was clothed but it appears she could be nude.  Many beauty shots are implied as the viewer would suspect the model is topless but may or may not be wearing a simple wrap type top.  Personally I love a well done implied or demure shot
