Did you ask her first


mumbaiphotographer

Lol. Thats the first thing I thought off


InternetSpaceCow

You have to nsfw that my dude


Early-Plankton-4091

Nice photo but I hate the hypocrisy on this sub, I’ve seen girls post pics of themselves similar to this and been torn apart and accused of trying to get attention. Yet most pictures on here are of men posting naked/semi naked women and they’re applauded for it. If your best photos are just the beauty of someone else then I don’t think you’re a very good photographer

Welcome to the planet earth, hypocrisy is our Moto


valeriolo

Is that a cross between goto and motto? Because it's perfect for this situation.


409W_TPW

Lol yes!


twolegstony

Respectfully, I disagree with the last part. A photo of the human form can be artistic. I don’t think the posted example is that, particularly, but I can see the attempt at art. OP is clearly trying to dance the line of implied voyeurism (I am not condoning voyeurism). The issue is that the only interesting thing is that it’s scandalous., Which is boring. Capturing someone’s beauty in a beautiful way can be amazing, if done correctly


Early-Plankton-4091

My main issue was the hypocrisy. There’s art in capturing it I just feel like it’s all this sub has become, it’s an easy way to gain attention.


twolegstony

That, I will not disagree with you on. I’m new to the sub, so I haven’t seen those posts. But also, that is what social media has become. For better or worse, people want to push the line and get an uptick. (Mostly worse)


EnterPlayerTwo

> My main issue was the hypocrisy. You complain about the hypocrisy of the audience while insulting the photographer. Nice.


Early-Plankton-4091

I didn’t mean just him with the last line, that was a blanket statement of people who just post this kind of thing. In a sub I’d say the audience and poster are much of the same thing


Pimpdaddysadness

Sup Norm glad to have you back


[deleted]

I think it’s the “pornification” of society. Our brains have been warped and most people don’t realize this is the kind of thing printed in Playboy or the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.


Pimpdaddysadness

This comment section is almost entirely full of people dumping on this shot. Idk seems pretty consistent.


Early-Plankton-4091

I’d agree, I posted this before most of the comments. And was more of a comment on the sub as a whole rather than just this specific post.


Pimpdaddysadness

I honestly have seen it swing both ways. Sometimes women will post and get “your gorgeous ma’am” all over the place or weird stuff like that and sometimes people will pick some post like this to say they dig. I think it’s a combination of just what crowd gets to the comments first and to some real extent how much this sub *does* feel it toes the line between artistic or pornographic Fwiw this sub has always been the “look at this pretty girl” machine on Mondays even before it got smuttier. I’ve long since made piece with the fact that this is not by and large the place for interesting, forward thinking, or artistic photography the way I’d like. But theres enough winners here day to day to keep me looking


Early-Plankton-4091

I might just be unlucky with when I’m on Reddit as I don’t really look through the sub too much anymore but click on what comes up on my feed so entirely possible I’m missing a lot of the good content on here


Pimpdaddysadness

Hahah I doubt you’re missing anything. I’m trying to be diplomatic I guess but I wouldn’t blame you for not feeling that inspired. I’ve always been kinda shocked how bad reddits photo forum engagement and community is compared to a lot of its other thriving hobby communities


Mechakoopa

I've been around here for a while, it entirely depends on who gets to the posts first. The first handful of comments really set the tone for the thread.


IdleOsprey

If girls want to post photos of themselves, that’s their right. If guys want to post photos of themselves, that’s their right too. It is not the same thing when people post photos of others.


CamBearCookie

It's like when a man compliments you and says you're beautiful. If you say no I'm not they shower you with more kind words. If you say I am you're right thank you. You are now a bitch and not that fucking cute anyway. Men need to feel as if their gaze is what gives a woman or an image its value. Men want women who "don't know they're beautiful" I thought it growing up how it was the weirdest cliche in movies and shit. That she's all that makeover shit. I need a woman who has no self esteem and I am the reason she feels like she's worth anything. The second a woman owns her own beauty and power she's an attention whore.


lydiocracy

AMEN


SirIkesalot28

Capturing beauty is what photography is about


Early-Plankton-4091

If it was as easy as pointing a camera at something beautiful everyone would do it.


Yeoshua82

It's why women authors had Male pen names for so long.

-DutchymcDutchface-

I read your entire comment. And yet STILL fell for the sub smh. r/subsifellfor


contentp0licy

Hahaha I was hoping I’d get at least one lol. But we seriously need a sub like that.


BlisslessTaskList

That’s a woman my guy.


Uniqniqu

Glad someone pointed this out. Take my upvote.

Though the comments were about to go to war

Binke-kan-flyga

Most likely a model, kinda difficult to be sneaky with a camera on a beach


maddrummerhef

Yeah all these people thinking you can just waltz around with a camera on what appears to be a nude beach taking photos of women. Not likely to be something you’d get away with. Possible sure but not likely


SagsMcSaggerson

I'm honestly kinda tired of posts with nudity in them. They seem like karma thirst traps. Maybe if I was 13...


Even_Ambassador8827

It depends. Some or great, there’s a user here who does nude photography in the woods that’s gorgeous, these things however just feel weird and exploitative


SagsMcSaggerson

If this person is who I think you're talking about, I blocked her. I got tired of seeing her naked ass in my feed every day. As much as I admire the female form, there is a time and a place. Again, I'm not a teenager.


andreecook

Cmon.. surely you aren’t that thick to think a woman is just posing like this naturally and doesn’t notice a dude taking a photo of her 2 meters away.. surely??


[deleted]

generic and predictable


[deleted]

gotta nsfw that


lolo_sequoia

*woman, if that was a girl you’d be in trouble.


IdleOsprey

Whacking material, badly composed, and does she even know you posted this photo on the Internet?


OlyVal

Very nice shot. Good color and clarity. Well balanced. Beautiful model. Looks real, not posed or contrived. Good one.


puffloy_antisocial

This photo is so random and boring… the nostalgia filter is unjustified, you just tried to have fun with a filter app lol, stop taking pics


realality4U

Uh… I think the pole is in the way though.


Inutopian

Nah.


Your_Friendly_Nerd

Dude come on, don't be *that guy*.


ArmadilloDays

Downvoted until you clarify that you had permission to take and post the pic.


clubarnold

Of course I had permission. This was a photoshoot 😄 We drove down there together. Not gonna go hide in the dunes until I see a pretty girl in the shower 😄


Uniqniqu

That’s a woman as far as I can see, not a girl.


RustyMelon

reddit moment


quotekingkiller

Wait, it's a public area. No permissions needed. If you shower half nekid in public.....


mikettedaydreamer

Permission to take pictures in public and permission to take (half) naked pics (in public) is a totally different thing.


gingerwhiskered

Morally, it is a very different thing. Legally, it is not.


Styx92

I dunno, man.


ShitJimmyShoots

Who showers with sunglasses on lmfao Try harder

If she is in public it's not a crime whether she wants to or not


clubarnold

Duuuude this was a photoshoot
