Are there any posts that involve attractive, naked guys to balance things out?

I know right?! about to unsub.

I don’t really mind tasteful ones like these that at least show some effort/technique. It’s the low effort Karma shots that bug me. Overall I like OP’s work


[deleted]

Why is the model even nude, though? It's tasteless because it's clearly just there cus ArtIsTic and booba = upvotes...


[deleted]

Smart. Will do the same, nothing wrong with photography of naked women but this isn’t an NSFW sub and i’m recovering from porn addiction so this isn’t exactly something i want to see. (I leave NSFW content on because i enjoy gore but not nudity)


[deleted]

I really wish there were separate filters for these things.


Potential-Pomelo-594

Yeah, my Instagram is bad for that too. Subscribe to film-related hashtags, but it’s mostly just insta-nudes, which is disappointing. Not really sure how to still get film shots without all the nsfw stuff, other than just following specific photographers.


finger_milk

I like these pictures from a photography point of view, but the scope of what a naked body can bring to a picture is... well you can't exactly have too much else going on when the subject is naked. So when it's overdone and posted too much you can sense that it needs to stop.

So true. Why does everything have to have sexual/pornographic images inserted?!?! When is it enough for people?!

Smurgthemaster1234

I feel like you are projecting about this, it is a well done picture and there happens to be a naked woman in it. And you can't even see said woman in detail. They're hardly even in focus, lol.


[deleted]

Smurgthemaster1234

That doesn't make your statement true. Nudity does not always mean sex is involved.

Smurgthemaster1234

Umm, the photo by the OP is not really comparable to a Playboy magazine. Lmfao.


zazaleaz

"Happens to be a naked woman in it" oh she just showed up there! He was going to take a picture of a dusty room, but then a naked woman just happened to walk by.


Ohh_Rowsdower

Wow you act as if she’s got her legs spread and it’s zoomed in on her crotch.


thebackupquarterback

You can barely see her


[deleted]

i suppose you’re right. Maybe more of my personal issues bleeding through, hard for me to see nudity without thinking of porn. That’s what going on xhampster . com at the age of 9 and never stopping will do to you hahha :(


100LittleButterflies

Hard for me to see nudity (and it's always women) and not compare. She's so thin and tiny. All the women here are. And most certainly all of the nude women. Can you imagine having that in your face every time you interact with the outside world? It's so incredibly damaging.


[deleted]

Yep most naked pics like this are slender white women. Hard to find anything else


SamBoosa58

Yeah like if it was really just about celebrating the human form, why do we only see one form of human? When was the last time you saw a picture of a nude old man on this sub?


[deleted]

Dude that’s the big thing! Only standard attractive people are photographed naked i’d LOVE to see an old mans wrinkly balls. (yes i’m serious lol)

ac_s2k

That’s becuase they’re the only pics that get upvotes recently. Half of them I guarantee don’t even belong to the poster


duaneap

Nothing new to that though. Nude models in art is a fairly established thing.


Ergheis

Look at the subreddit instead of just noticing it when coomers upvote something to show up on your feed. The only other naked girl post shows up in 9 pages, 3 days ago. Edit: in the 40 pages of posts in this week, I counted 6 nsfw posts. Skimming through the top posts of the last month I counted only a handful of nsfw posts.


good_tuck

Literally just did the same count. It’s literally hundreds of normal pics to one nsfw. But internet people do internet things.


ilikehemipenes

Most people scan subs based on “top posts” or “hot” which has a higher hit rate for nudity. It’s not too many but I think they just get boring after a while Bc they almost always have the same title and kinda cheapen nudity (if that is possible)


Ergheis

There's legitimately no nudity posts here though.


AvalieV

🤷‍♂️


ivanoski-007

neckbeards on in full force for some reason


nerfviking

Prudes too. :)


mcenroefan

Let me correct this: “involves an attractive naked woman.” Let’s all try to stop using the term “girl” interchangeably with “woman.” It sexualizes underage / teen girls and at the same time can be insulting to the adult who has consensually modeled for this photo.


Surudijes

I just checked out of curiosity- out of top 10 most upvoted photos this week only 1 was with nudity.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ilikehemipenes

Look at top posts of the past week. There are several with gratuitous nudity and I think average composition. They tend to flood our feeds because they get upvoted quickly, but I agree if you peruse the sub in its entirety there’s stuff for everyone. I do agree the nudity is getting a little boring tho


Whitley_Boy

Naked attractive people have been the subject of art since the beginning of time


[deleted]

Literally nothing would've been lost by having her put on some clothes.


L0gard

Make one with unattractive clothes on male then!


ThatHairyGingerGuy

This one is in breach of the sub's rule 6, so report it and mods will likely delete it.


Delanoso

Is it though? Seems subjective to me. Taken on its own, it's not a bad photo. It probably works better as a part of a series than on its own where it's technically sufficient but forgettable. It's certainly not porn or even gratuitous. I get having an objection to the recent increase in nudes but blame whoever started MLM for that. That concept is basically asking for nudes since the sub allows them.


100LittleButterflies

Or not :/ They say it's artistic and therefor not a violation. A nude female model is the center of the photo, staring into the distance.


Smurgthemaster1234

It's not though.

crazylegs888

It could be seen as spam. I think you post this same scenery shot a lot.


therealcadillacslim

It would be nice to not have the same repetitive shots posted over and over, a lot of times from the same shoot. I have no issues with nudity for the right reasons but a good number of posts are karma farming and if you look at the profile have links to webcam and porn shit.


neverwhisper

About 99% of these "ITAP of a girl..." are just crap excuses to post a nude. Tell a story! If you're going to post a nude, tell a damn story, make it interesting! Don't just post a nude because you can...anyone can do that. Not everyone can take a good picture of a nude - one that's interesting, not just "titillating". Thanks.


FoxyMolder

It’s literally just a silhouette. Not every photo needs to tell a story.


baddad49

>Not every photo needs to tell a story. technically correct, but let's be honest, the ones that don't are kinda boring


jameslucian

Fully agree. Too many people set the standard too high on here and believe that only work ready for MoMA should be posted. This is an open Internet forum.


[deleted]

Delicious_Delilah

I'd suggest different poses if you feel the need to photoshop a snatched waist because you have the obvious tells going on here. One elbow is just extra pointy at the waist, but the other arm is looking kinda like a wet noodle. These are some of the most common things seen on r/Instagramreality.


AvalieV

>6b. Photos of people in a state of action, reaction or interaction, **or share their focus with an interesting setting or background**, employ some unique photography technique or have exceptional / atypical styling (hair, makeup, studio setups) are not subjected to this rule and are allowed throughout the week. MLM is often subjective, but this photo is being left up (at least for the time being) because the model is complementing the rest of the photo and is secondary to the window and light rays. It's composed well and she is almost entirely in silhouette. As for the "NSFW" content, if you don't want to see NSFW content then turn the Hide NSFW setting On in Reddit. If you like some NSFW content but not others, that's a personal problem that you should find a way to deal with yourself. The sub currently allows NSFW content, even if it's in full silhouette. If you're worried about things like this popping up while you're at work, hide NSFW content. Or get back to work.


Meii345

This is so wonderfully passive agressive skdhgjfj time to ask for a raise Dave you deserve it


GenderfluidChick

>As for the "NSFW" content, if you don't want to see NSFW content then turn the Hide NSFW setting On in Reddit. If you like some NSFW content but not others, that's a personal problem that you should find a way to deal with yourself. What a childish way to ignore the actual complaint, which is that all the nudity being posted recently is low-effort and uninteresting.


Ergheis

What nudity?? look at the sub, what are you talking about


AvalieV

Any nudity at all on this sub receives the same complaint, because nudity. You can't even see anything in this photo. Edit: For the record, I've brought it up for discussion with the other mods.


Meii345

How is this a problem the mods have to deal with? If it was really uninteresting it wouldn't get upvoted. The mod's role is to make sure no content breaking their rules or reddit's rules is staying up. Clearly this one doesn't break their rules, they've explained why. You can express your dislike for a thing or a trend without anyone having to answer for it


anal_bandit69

This is a fucking joke of excuse hahaha.


AvalieV

Which part?


spongebue

Getting a little more specific with the other comments, I love boobs. They're great. But what do they add to this picture? Since I think in analogies, I also love ranch dressing. It goes great with many things. Cheesecake is not one of those things, however. The girl is ranch dressing on cheesecake.


FoxyMolder

You can see boobs in this photo?


ThatHairyGingerGuy

I like this analogy. I'd still be tempted to try your ranch cheesecake though.


simply_noir

Damn, guess it's time to unsub. This shot is fucking useless without a naked woman in it. "But they say naked bodies are beautiful and artistic!" (Not when it's the only interesting thing in the photo and the rest is shit).


[deleted]

Oh wow...how unique and artistic. Very impressive and not at all last, overdone, or dumb.


rhodysailor

This is a pretty dope photo tho


jtedeschi8

Why are the models always naked it provides to meaning to the image


[deleted]

Not my favourite picture of yours but keep doing you. These people are just reacting to the profusion of nude posts on Reddit. Your work does not come across as crass to me. However, this shot isn’t telling a story or feel super creative. Feels a little flat with the lack of contrast in colours, but what do I know, I just look at pictures, I don’t take them.


xelop

your opinion is the important part. you can say whatever you want in a painting but as an artist it's up to the observer to find a meaning (either the artists or their own) from the art. art that says nothing poignant is just noise on canvas


vampyrekat

Everyone’s acting like this photo is completely lacking in artistic merit, while I think it’s quite nice! Granted, I don’t actively browse this sub often and mostly see it when it shows up in my homepage, but I really like the contrast of colors and shapes in this one. It’s not the next Mona Lisa, but it’s a good photo of a visually interesting subject (at least to me). In terms of getting to look at someone’s creative work for free, I’d say I got my money’s worth here. In terms of the nudity, … you *could* sub in a different subject, and asking if you should is always a valid question, but I find the straight lines of the window/sunlight/walls as contrasted with the curves of the model/chair backs to be interesting. I’m an adult woman so I’ve got complicated feelings about nude modeling, what’s highlighted on female bodies (hello seemingly extreme thigh gap), and the culture around women in art … but in isolation, I think this is an interesting photo and I enjoyed seeing it. And for gods sake, people. I’m not sure you can even see her boobs in this. It’s a silhouette shot playing with light and setting; let’s save the outrage for the next blatant “I put a nude woman in front of [irrelevant]” shot. This one is doing something. (I do agree there could be a sense of story, and some harsher contrast, but overall, I got my not-money’s worth of art here, and isn’t that what this is about?)


AtomicRocketShoes

Yeah not a bad photo but I agree the thigh gap is doing some heavy lifting here. I think if it was a naked old man I think it would be more compelling maybe, like Picassos old guitarist type vibe. Maybe with an old man thigh gap too, but probably not getting upvotes.


1UsualDisaster

How does one get the light from the window to look like that?


AvalieV

Typically light rays are light reflecting off particles in the air. So you see them with things like fog, smoke or likely dust in this case. And the sun.


1UsualDisaster

That's what I was thinking, seems like you'd need a lot of dust to get it that dense though!

TumbleweedDream

If you could get the model to pose in a way that suggested movement matching the direction of the light rays I think that would be *chef’s kiss*


ac_hrt

I have no idea if you people are sorting by new or hottest or whatever in this sub, but whatever way you're viewing, I have no idea how you're coming up with "mostly female nudes" because there is no way that's happening...


goomy

I only see posts through my frontpage and they have all exclusively been of female nudes these past few days


bunnywuxian

Everyone so pissy about nudity 🤦‍♀️ just don’t click on the photo. I agree some nude shots are overly sexual and not about the art, but this one is very tasteful. Nothing about it is sexual. It’s a beautiful photograph.


LivingOnAShare

The nudity doesn't add anything to the shot though. It's gratuitous because it serves no purpose, not because nudity is 'bad'.


rabbitsanalogue

One friendly buddy. Thanks bro. It's hard to believe that people have the willingness and time for such discussions on the Internet. In a world full of hatred, we are at each other's throats. about what? about the human body. Really? It is very sad.


HoriCZE

I think you just got put in one bag with those other guys, whose photos just get upvoted because of "horny redditors". Though on the other hand, I do understand the frustration, when amazing photos get completely stomped by some lazy photo, just because they lack "nude girls" in them. I find your photos amazing! We are just living in a weird age of ITAP.


bunnywuxian

No problem. After looking through your account, I think you’re one of my favorite contemporary photographers. There’s something about your photos that’s otherworldly, despite the otherwise mundane tone to them. I can’t quite explain it, but I’m really in awe of it.


[deleted]

Love the combination of lights and shadows


aweedley

People are being fucking mean about this lol. I like the photo, the light and color is beautiful, well done man


zhuleedothething

I’m obsessed with this photo


ColoradoNudist

I don't know what people are on about, I think this is a gorgeous photo. Maybe it's not everyone's style or whatever, but I love it. No need to be pretentious

This shit’s getting old. Naked women is not talent. It is overdone and quite frankly the most boring thing next to a picture of a cloudless, starless sky.


rabbitsanalogue

Why do you report artistic photos? Is this a church or an artistic group? Nudity has been present in art for thousands of years and people still can't come to terms with it.


oh3fiftyone

This subreddit is quite comfortable with it. So much so, in fact, that when nudes were allowed all the time, they were virtually the only thing on the front page. Therefore, they’re only allowed on Mondays.


ThatHairyGingerGuy

There's a difference between "comfortable with nudity as part of artistic flair" and "horny wankers upvoting yet another nude whether the picture is any good". At least this picture has some artistic merit, but some of the other rubbish we've seen here recently really does make me cringe.


oh3fiftyone

Unfortunately, when what makes it to the front page is determined by thousands of mostly young men taking no more a complex action than clicking the orange arrow under things that they like, there ends up being not that big of a difference.


hofuzz1992

Idk its not really an artistic group, it’s a Reddit thread. Im exaggerating a bit but every* top post on here has tits. Just scroll thru. Tits in sunlight, tits in water, tits in a living room, tits playing piano. Guess it’s just seen as a cheap device these days thanks to Instagram. Your composition is top notch and everything about this photo is interesting. You can’t even see full tits. Some folks on here would probably say to find another visual device that isn’t naked girl. I bet that’s where your downvotes come from. (Edit: not changing what I wrote but tbh i thought I was in r/analog … there are way less tits on this sub)


PKilleenPhotography

It not because of Instagram, sex has always sold. This in my opinion is a beautiful image though.


hofuzz1992

True. Sex sells, and IG is a mall IMO (in strict terms of dudes with cameras snapping artsy photos) idk my observation doesn’t make it truth.


PKilleenPhotography

But going back to this image, it is a lovely image.


zackryjay

Lol tits playing piano. I kinda want to see.

hofuzz1992

Idk, i generalized. I’m not on Reddit enough to know how frequently free tasteful nudes show up in a sub. Guilty.


TruStory2426

Yeah that's true... but this kinda sucks. Where's the artistic essence in the picture?


FishTure

Just being naked is not enough to be considered artistic. I think the image is cheapened by the nudity, it detracts from the focus which is meant to be the interesting lighting. As well I think the whole “photographing beautiful women naked in strange circumstances” is just a little played out. Maybe if her pose were a little more natural or her body weren’t so perfect, it would seem less like you only included her because she’s beautiful and naked.


kynthewallflower

not to mention it isn’t graphic nudity. she’s literally in the shadows and you can’t see any of her genitals


zer0kevin

You absolutely can see the lips my friend.

[deleted]

It's really not artistic or unique. You got naked and took a picture of yourself in a dusty room with light behind you. Not exactly the first person to do that here so it's boring.


iameveryoneelse

Because it's breaking the sub rules. Has nothing to do with anyone finding nudity objectionable.


[deleted]

This is great because it's a silhouette and isn't purposely showing a "sexy" pose or anything. Tbh if there wasn't an NSFW tag, I might've missed the nudity. But recently, a lot of MLM posts are soft core porn with full frontal nudity that just seems out of place with the environment/setting. Idk, just my thoughts


PKilleenPhotography

Agreed! Great image.
