spousal support for nude photography

[FrankS]

This is just for the married guys/gals or those in a monogamous relationship of at least 3 years:

You say to your significant other: Honey I'm interested in doing some photography of the nude.

How would that go over in your house?

 

[jaapv]

As long as it isn't in the nude as well I'd say it shouldn't make a difference. Patricia might disagree...

 

[markinlondon]

Was it nudes of your SO or of a third party you had in mind, Frank? It could make all the difference.

 

[clintock]

My wife would be fine with it as long as the model was male, straight, overweight and balding a little.

 

[FrankS]

I was thinking a 3rd party/model.

 

[Goodyear]

I have absolutely no idea.

 

[BJ Bignell]

My partner doesn't like having her picture taken, but there's a chance she would co-operate, especially if it was just for me to practice with lighting/ideas/poses. I probably wouldn't be allowed to share the results with everyone here, though.

I'd also be interested to hear what our female members have to say: Would your man say yes or no if you asked him to pose nude?

//edit: You were thinking a model, not the partner... In that case, I don't think there would be any problem. I suspect she'd be equally interested in the results as she would be to see if I actually had the nerve to go through with it!

You need to add another response:
"No, I wouldn't ask my wife that because I don't want her to hand my a$$ to me."

Go with response #2 for that one. 🙂

Just asked my wife and her response is a quote from Full Metal Jacket: 'I'm going to tear you a new asshole!' Fierce woman I have!

 

[markinlondon]

I suspect I'd get a no, answer 2 it is then. Sylvia did do some life classes a few years back (as a student, NOT as a model), but with my current portfolio (ha!) nude photography would seem to her to be a bit of a departure from the norm.

 

[pesphoto]

um, never asked but dont think it would happen.

 

[jonasv]

I voted "wouldn't ask", because I ain't interested in nude photography. If I would ask, my girlfriend (not wife) would be ok with it, I'm sure.

My ex had fits if I even looked at the cover of a magazine with a woman in lingerie. My current partner not only offered to pose for me, as she said, if even for no reasons other than to practice my lighting technique (an there are lots of other reasons 😀 😀 😀 ), and has encouraged me to find younger models with, in her eyes, fewer physical imperfections. She then pores over the pictures with me, and finds them beautiful and arousing.

This level of partnership is something I wish for everyone.

Many of us envy you in this regard!
BTW, I voted "it depends".

 

[SolaresLarrave]

I know for sure my wife would object. It'd have to be a non-waivable requirement for a very, very important class or project that would yield a high, significant profit (to be invested in the house, of course).

Then, maybe, perhaps...

But then, I'm not interested either. In any event, I clicked on #2.

I always found that asking the person to join the experince helps. Of course, I haven't done any nude stuff before.

 

[JohnL]

If there had been an option "I have no idea", that would have been my vote. Since I make photos to show to people, and would not be 100% comfortable showing them, and / or would likely have no audience for them, except within a bona-fide course (that has happened), it's really a non-issue for me.

 

[BJ Bignell]

I picked "Sure, no problem". This is most likely to be the correct answer, at least in my opinion. When my partner gets home from work, she'll correct me if necessary! 😉

 

[eli griggs]

As long as it wasn't a particular ex-roommate or this one blond hardbody model I use to shoot, everything would be ok. Those two girls got up her nose like nobodys business. The fact that I've not seen either in 15-16 years means nothing.🙂

I've done figure drawing and painting, when available and within our budget, for years, and if she hears of a class or regular session, she lets me know when and where and tries to work it into my schedule.

She might not be thrilled, but she's super supportive of whatever I choose to do; my wife is 1st class in the spouse department and I try not to abuse our relationship.
