So I've had a problem recently. I wanted to expand my portfolio a bit and offer something a bit different to my potential clients. I already do
Boudoir Photography but wanted to expand a bit and offer Nude Photography. Now this is obviously a very personal subject matter and I wouldn't expect any previous clients to allow their nakedness to be used for my own personal promotion (although some may be happy). And besides, I didn't have any of my own photos to use, which was really more of a problem...
So I paid a model.
Heidi was excellent! Very attractive, slim and super professional. And not afraid to pose nude. I got a set of photos that I was pleased with and proud of. I put them up on my website. (Go to
www.chris-lynn.co.uk or Google
Photographer in Grimsby to have a look.)
I also put them on
Facebook. Which is where the problem arose. It seems I breached their content terms and condition regarding nudity. I checked the rules, changed my age restrictions and deemed my photos not to be pornographic or offensive. Facebook disagreed it seems. My account was disabled with no explanation and I was left without for a week!
I'm back on now with the offending pictures removed. But I still feel a but aggrieved. I'm wondering at what point art nude becomes offensive... Have a look at my
gallery in the nudes section and maybe you could let me know...?
(By the way... I haven't posted any of the pics here for obvious reasons!)
