Awesome and creative shots! Very dramatic look to some of these. These are some of my favorites of yours so far too! The lighting is amazing and the compositions are 'picture perfect!'
I wanted you to know that when it's tastefully done, as you have displayed here, you don't have to edit or censor your shots. We allow nudity in the community if it's tasteful and not porn.
All your photography is tasteful so if you want to release your images without having to do the extra editing to censor... then please feel free to do so.
We do appreciate you being so considerate... but in your artistic case, it's not necessary. If you have anything more explicit then you will want to use the NSFW tag. Keep up the great and beautiful work my friend.
Thank you very much indeed, I always appreciate in a very big way when I read you, it is like a valuable reward for my work, that you like it. If I take into account that, every time I do a photo where I appreciate intentionally or not some nudity I ask the model if she wants to censor or not, as in this case if she wanted it I respect her opinion and her image, but if I take into account that thank you for mentioning it and recalculate.
What I didn't know and thank you for mentioning was the etiquette, it's good to know that and I hope to make use of it soon. Really thank you very much brother, a big hug.
That's very kind of you to say! It has been a pleasure watching your Hive adventure. I would definitely say... always go with the model in that regard, obviously.
As for the etiquette.... it's different from community to community. Here, in Photography Lovers some tasteful and mild nudity is permitted without the need for the NSFW tag. Like, i think i recall a post you did a while back ago where the nipples were bared seen through mesh type shirt. I think you blurred or edited the nips. For that example, there was no censorship needed.
If you have a normal cover thumbnail and say one of your photos has some nips further down you can probably not use the NSFW tag. If it's nude silhouettes and other more artistic nudity you can probably skip the tag.
But it's always better to be safe than sorry. From what i have seen you don't have anything to worry about. But if you have full frontal nudity or things that are a bit more exotic or explicit definitely use the tag.
I would also suggest in such cases to put a mild shot for the thumbnail even if you use the Tag. I hope that helps explain a little.
I was always afraid with my art about nudity and how all that etiquette relates. hahahah
Have a great weekend browski!
I take this opportunity to comment here, since you talk about nudity in photographs: I have an artistic and anonymous nude project that seeks to separate itself from eroticism, but I had not dared to publish it for fear of being banned from the community. Now that I read this, I'm going to give it a try.
Hey @enderlouis, it's Castleberry on the community account. I'm glad you read my comment here. Even some eroticism is ok if it's done tastefully. I would recommend using a pretty tame thumbnail and put your more daring images further down the post. If it's tasteful and not too much nudity then you can usually slide without the NSFW tag.
But it's always best to be on the more cautious side about using that tag. In art, nudity is an expression and i for one, support that expression. But there's a difference between art and porn. So.... if you are in doubt just use the NSFW tag. We look forward to seeing your project!
