going too far? (nudity)

August 25th, 2011
so once again, i did a nude shoot for a gallery where I was invited... the photos i am going to post are all the photos that have not been accepted..

Now.

Let me know if by any chance this photo have offended you or may you think i have gone too far as per posting concern.. pls let me know... i'm a little worried, though i want you guys to see the photos i made for this series.,. thank you!

absolutely not... the picture is beautiful and very artistic... to be honest with you it took me even a while to see that the nipple is actually exposed...
but you know... I live in Germany and here that would be considered nothing... perhaps for USA would be a bit much, not sure about that ;)
August 25th, 2011
I think this is a stunning photo. Well done!
August 25th, 2011
Beautiful shot. It is art, and this is an art site. I don't think there is anything exploitive about this.
August 25th, 2011
i agree with above comments.
August 25th, 2011
Nudity is not offensive at all, at least to me. It's the natural state of things. There's nothing to be bothered by. Blame Western society for sexualizing the human body. What I don't understand is that it's okay to buy push up bras and prop them up to garner attention, but actually showing breasts is horrendous.

great job, btw

I think you did not cross any line of inappropriate or distasteful. Also remember on this site you cannot pick your followers so do this for yourself and what pushes you to be a better photographer.
August 25th, 2011
When you see art as simply art, a way to stimulate the intellect, it will show in your pictures and more so, the viewer will appreciate it. If it was shot maliciously, I think it will be detected. However, this particular photo, I don't seem to mind the exposed breast as it is part of the overall composition. Well, it's me, but there are lots of conservative people out there. :D
August 25th, 2011
This is really beautiful, where's the rest of them?
August 25th, 2011
Not at all too far for me, but I think it's great from you to ask people their opinion and be open for discussion :-)
August 25th, 2011
I do notice that the undies may not be real? =)
August 25th, 2011
Rerfreshingly natural ... nothing wrong with it at all!
August 25th, 2011
I think this is a gorgeous photo.
August 25th, 2011
Well I'm a little offended that I don't look like this in any of my selfies......

August 25th, 2011
Beautiful.
August 25th, 2011
@aj1268 thanks paula! =)
August 25th, 2011
The nude body IS art. Just keep it up. =>
August 25th, 2011
@nathantology thanks nathan! =)
August 25th, 2011
Photography is an art and this is not lewd pornogrphic or just for show. Some of the greatest artist portayed nudity so end of argument.
August 25th, 2011
Check out Riaan's @smartie work. He has got the most beautiful nude shots.
Yours is tastefully done and quite stunning.
August 25th, 2011
@hobgoblinwychwo @deens thank u! =)
August 25th, 2011
August 25th, 2011
I don't think it's offensive at all! This is such a gorgeous picture.
August 25th, 2011
even guys have nipples
August 25th, 2011
It is not what is depicted, but how it is depicted. Your shots are very tasteful.
August 25th, 2011
Okay, additional comments. A bit jealous over the no body fat thing going on in the picture, and I like how the slight draping over "parts" give a bit of wonder to the photo. I thought this was a male, but another view seems to think it was a woman (the word breast gave that away). I think the slight draping actually give a bit more wonder to the photo.
@pwallis read above.
August 25th, 2011
These are beautiful!!! Keep up the good work!! Totally not offensive!! :o)
August 25th, 2011
Your shots are awesome!!! Go ahead. Its all part of art and you being comfortable with sharing your work! Photography is not only about awesome macros, landscapes and abstract stuff, its anything that you can capture with your camera that is artistic, because you are a artist at the end of the day. Porn shouldnt belong here, but there is nothing wrong with doing artistic nudes. @deens Thanks a lot for the great comment Nadine!
August 25th, 2011
Beautiful shots and not at all offensive. Be proud!
August 25th, 2011
I totally agree - these are stunning and not offensive in any way!
August 25th, 2011
@jannaellen @mcdougall @smartie @harley84 @brumbe @lilbudhha @meshinka @n0pants3ver

August 25th, 2011
yeah this is great, not offended in the slightest.
August 25th, 2011
@rich57 thank u sir... =) yay!!!! i'll be posting the whole set i guess thank u again! =)
August 25th, 2011
Thought the first shot was beautiful (yeah and in awe :-)
however the second one gives me a bit of an S+M feel ( not sure if that's intended? ) and ... well, personally no matter how good the technical aspect is - I can't like it !
August 25th, 2011
@glyn yes actually it was intended.. ^__^ and uhmnn no worries about not liking it gorgeous lady,. we have different looks on what's pretty and what's not right? =) all good ma'am.. maybe if i could post the whole set you'll get the story.... thanks for the comment though ^___^ i really appreciate it.. =)
August 25th, 2011
;-) each to his /her own x
August 25th, 2011
nope...it is gorgeous....
August 25th, 2011
I like the first one okay but the second one ... no ... not my taste at all.
August 25th, 2011
may be she's crying for a lost loved one.. it's how each interprets.. where's the nudity?! hehe!
August 25th, 2011
Not offended...just jealous! Good job!
August 25th, 2011
I liked the first one a lot, and the second I loved it!
August 26th, 2011
I think they are both beautiful shots! Great job.
August 26th, 2011
I don't see your set of photos, only two. Have you posted them or just considering posting them. 8/25/2011
August 26th, 2011

August 27th, 2011
your images are very artful and very compelling. please keep posting!
August 27th, 2011

thanks again for letting me post my photos here.. ^___^

hope y'all get the story am trying to tell here... it's not really literal that the "geisha" died... the story is actually about feminism and how this "geisha's" soul died..

let me just tell you a fact:
GEISHA... most people think of geisha as hookers in the ancient Japan, but really no! they are performing artist as what wikipedia says.. ^__^ everything in every photo has a symbolic meaning not just anything i dragged just to make a picture... from the fleur de lis in the first photo to the pearl earrings the geisha's wearing to the yukata and every provocative poses i made her do.. ^___^

follow the story of this lovely geisha.. ^__^ and i think the last photo i'll post would tell and wrap the story up.. ^__^ and this ain't the last photo yet. hihihihi thank you all!!! xoxo
August 28th, 2011
these photos are gorgeous! You have done a beautiful job with shadows and light!
August 28th, 2011
@marydreams thank you! =)
August 28th, 2011
OK, I think the photos are great except the third one. She is just too skinny, to be honest I find it a worrying photo to look at. She looks anorexic to me and that just shouldn't be flattered in any way, Thats just my thoughts though. The other shots are fab!
August 29th, 2011
@threeplusone noted! =) thank you for the coment lisa.. i appreciate it! =)
