When can you trust someone when he(/she?) asks to take nude

[lenne]

Immagine this:

You\'re walking down the street, doing your shopping, and someone steps up to you and asks wether you would participate on a group photo session.
Would you trust him(or her) ?
I got the idea to start this topic when me and some girls of my class where talking about this.
To be honest, I wouldn\'t trust it because you can never know.
Nudism isn\'t about sex but you still have got a lot of pervs out there.

So when would you feel completely safe to say \"yes\", when can you trust someone with the question of taking nude pics of you?

I isn`t an expert and got no experience at this field.
But if you know the person persons and trust himher or if you are at a place were they only allow real naturists and maybe at a naturist place were nobody acts \"uncomfortable\" or something. You can never be sure, but this is were I would feel sure... I think...

I\'d definately want to see some of his work, and I dont know what else. That\'s a tough subject. You could go right into a pervert\'s trap, or you could have an oppurtunity to show people that you enjoy your nudey lifestyle.

 Well.. how bout you Lenne? What would make you feel safe enough to say yes? If i ever started to do that as a hobby or whatever, i dont think id just go around asking random people. What i would proly do is..

 Take some photos of friend/people that trust me to do so.
 Create a suitable website to show off my work.
 Make buisness cards with the website on it and what i do. So instead of just asking people directly, just hand the card out to them, and let them contact me if they are intrested. If so they could goto the site, see im ligit and if they like it.

Least.. thats how i would think the best way to go about it is.

In addition, i would hand out card to those same friends who i took photos of and ask if they might help me promote or get more models. Maybe once they see those people on the site themselves, and talk with them, it could put their fears at ease.

just some thoughts.

in this country i heard some of the mens magazines run features where they approach girls in the street and ask them if they want to do photoshoots in their underwear.

i assume they have some sort of proper accreditation with them, but imagine they must get plenty of slaps to the face before they find a willing girl!

i would never allow anyone who was not a family member or friend to photograph me naked, mostly because that\'s the only way i could be sure about what might happen to the pictures.  

as for Lenne\'s question, i think if someone, a stranger, came up to me and asked me to pose nude for them, i\'d be highly suspicious, to say the least!  i\'d definitely not say yes and depending on their attitude i\'d laugh, run a mile or call the cops!

as a naturist i\'m not ashamed of my body, and i don\'t find the idea of nude pics embarassing, however, i\'m not so naive as to know that many people do not view nudity in the same way as me and i think for that reason we have to be careful, even if the act of being photographed nude is no big deal to us.

I\'d certainly say no if it\'s someone I don\'t know.
If the person is someone who is famous for taking nude pics, I\'d concider the tought but even tough I\'d say \"yes\" (and I won\'t do that easely) my parents would probably never allow me to.

(not that they\'ve got something agains nudism, they only want that nothing will happen to me since there are an awful amounth of pervs here and you can never know for shure who you can trust)

Hi Lenne, if i was the sort who would be interested in being involved in a naturist or nude photo shoot for artistic or furtherment of naturism reasons and by chance some one approached me as you describe i would do the following. First take his or her details and then call or e mail and get more inro on them. IE what naturist group they belong too, what previous photo work  have they done and who for etc. I would ask to sight some of thier work and where it is ending up. Depending on what they had told you before you should be able to work out if they are full of bull.
  If after checking them out i was comfortable with them i would then cover what sort of work the project they want me for is about and where it will end up. I would then considder it.
  I know that there are some out there doing just what you describe. Last year we had to kick a member of our re-enacting group out due to his perpetual promoting his so called \"model agency and glamour photgrahper\" business while representing our organisation or wearing a jacket that advertised us. Many women he would aproach in the street to do photo shoots were very uncomfortable with what he was proposing and remembered our groups name and associated his activities with us. But this temporary bad reputation actually served to allert us to what he was doing so we were able to put a stop to it. He denied it of course calling the several women who contacted the our executive to complain all liars and demanding thier names etc (As if i would tell him).
  Since then earlier this year there was a documentary on TV exposing dodgey photographers who were actually crap and just into getting shots of chicks in the nude for thier own gratification - and guess who featured on it.
  So yes you need to be very carefull and if you have the slightest doubt in your mind, dont do it.

yeah...unless it was a family member or good friend, I probably wouldn\'t have him take pics of me unless I knew of his/her work and could really trust him/her.  I\'d also have to get to know them better.

you dont... yeh im in the family/close friends camp

I think it\'d be an awkward confrontation. I think that if it was just one person asking then I would question it but then I am sure that with people like Spencer Tunic he\'d be with a group of people and the good thing with that is that there\'s safety in numbers. I think his approach is just an open invitattion and if you want to turn up and join in then you can, if not then it\'s entirely up to you. I suppose it all comes down to trust and I don\'t know how the shoots for the lads mags work pulling randem girls off of the street but my advice would be simply if you\'re not comfortable in any way, don\'t do it!
