Ladies and gents, you might want to think twice about what you're exposing.  It may be costing you jobs.

I agree to some extent. But are we talking "Adult Pornograpic" or Artistic...

seeing how my chest is so small and I am not tall enough for runway...it limits my chance...I like artistic nude...among other things of course...but will that hurt me?

A LOT of clients in the advertising and fashion industries are VERY conservative - even in the large cities - and wil not touch a model that has even suddested nudity in hre portfolio. In many cases, the same goes for the photographers getting accounts.

Oh boy, you and the OP are in big trouble. Wait until the "no escorts" and the "fashion nude" crowd gets a hold of you both.

Your chest looks fine to me for art nudes.

At 5' 7" you are generally at the minimum height for commercial and editorial work.

before anybody attacks you, i don't think you're attacking people for modeling nude. i think you are just giving a fair warning that some jobs (modeling and others) will hold it against a model if nude photos of them exist. i hate it: people should be able to do whatever they want without being judged.

It all depends on the type of modeling a model wants to do. A lot of nude models are very short - under 5' 6" so their modeling endeavours are very limited - mostly glamour, glamour nudes, swimsuit and art nudes.

i have actually never posted..i dont recall....but in reply to the immediate previous poster......if that be the case what type of jobs will a "nude" model get?

outside of playboy,  and true ART, what ype of jobs are available for thes type of models?

Runway, so I have been told by numerous individuals, is only (possibly even less than) 10% of the modelling industry....Im shooting for commercial myself...I find it most interesting!

Why in the world would you even throw escorts in the mix here?
It has nothing to do with the topic.

hmmm... there's a surprise. gee do you think maybe it's the quality of the talent vs. the nudity (which is NOT adult content *eye roll*) that is at issue here?

it's odd that this result is not duplicated when agency models are considered. might it be both the models and the quality of the images the agencies show that makes the difference?

just sayin

Rich you knwo better than to ask people to be responsible for the quality of the content of their ports!  It's so much eaier to blame it on things like nudity.  THAT is the real issue here!!

There's a big difference between nudity and what you dis as "adult content"

From what I've seen of the OP in the fora he doesn't see much distinction.

Not for me.

I like small chests. More than that, I like natural and forthright people. I like artistic and I like nude too.

My door is always open.

But, I am sensing, for me (personally) doing nudes is like cheating on taxes...
One day it will get discovered by someone ready to hurt me.

Unfortunatly, there are people out there who are mean-spirited
and who will go into trouble of searcing through your past to find that nude shot.
Paparazzi will do that, if you are in acting career, for example...

I keep harping on this in another thread.  Yes, if you become a famous actress, someone will track down that nude shot.  How exactly does that hurt you?  If you are not ashamed of the original shoot, what has changed?  This does happen to actresses all the time and sometimes makes a bit of a fuss, but does that really hurt them?  Should you live your life trying to never do anything that someone might make a fuss about?

Sounds a bit puritanical for this day and age and how are you defining "adult content"?. Surely there must be lot's of models on this site without said offensive nakedness, Lol. Can't imagine what client would reject a model because of some naked pics, unless they were some religious zealots or high profile political candidates. Next time take your client to a three martini lunch, they are apt to be more receptive to nakedness.

Thank you ..... You are so right ...

If a model needs a figure study, or wants something in her PAPER portfolio for the casting director for the Lever2000 commercial (advertising hygene), then go to a photographer, pay him to shoot what you feel you need.  Then you are the only one with control of your work.  The public never sees it, you have it, your safe unless your ex steals it when you break up and puts it on line.  You had the experience, you didn't lose a single client.  You will fully understand the reason for figure art which makes you a more informed model, but, a model who can stand next to the Pope for a photo without a media feeding frenzy.

God Bless,
Outlaw
