I have liked nude portraiture for as long as I can remember. It can be statues, paintings or photographs etc. As long as it's not done in a pornographic way that is...Or at least, that's not anything I would do myself. I don't mind if it's slightly erotic, but I think the human body can be portrayed and looked at for so many other reasons than the sexual ones. We were all born naked, so why is there still so much shame in nudity?
Among all my photographer friends there is one called Technical Boy. He specializes in art nudes and portraits. I have seen what he has done in the past, and he's really good at what he does, so I was glad to hear he wanted to shoot me too - naked...And to all you radical feminists out there; feminism is letting women do whatever they want to, without hearing people complain about it, and I wanted to get shot buck naked by this photographer, and it's my choice to show the result of the shoot here on my blog - for everyone to see! And neither me, nor the photographer got payed to do this! But now I'm going to stop rambling and let you see the pictures. Here is me - the way I was born!
After we were done shooting, I told Technical Boy I think everyone should find a good photographer and do a nude shoot at least once in their lives! If not to show the whole world on a blog, then just for themselves. This was my first complete nude shoot, and doing it felt so liberating and empowering! I do have a little dream about doing a shoot naked, wearing only lots of diamonds though. Just need to find those diamonds...
More of Technical Boy's work can be seen on his web site, and on his Facebook page.
Don't forget you can follow me on Facebook too!
Nice pictures!
ReplyDeleteThank you honey! :) xox
DeleteHello doll!! I've never been bothered by naked bodies...I don't think we should feel shame in our bodies and how we were made. It's just a shame that people think the opposite and feel women demean themselves by posing nude. I've very rarely come across any woman that's said they did it for someone else...maybe their husbands or boyfriends, but that's a rare occasion. It's usually so they can look at themselves and feel confident in their bodies, as we don't often stare at ourselves naked, so I think it can be a healing process too. Like women who have been sexually assaulted or have body dismorphia, looking at themselves away from mirrors can help them greatly. So, anyone that has a problem with it, should really look at themselves & ask what they don't like. And you choose to do it, so no one can say a man made you do it to exploit your sexuality, haha! I love art & the naked for and statues...it's wonderful. We should never be afraid of how we were created....we are beautiful creatures. And you look absolutely breath-taking...a bombshell!! <3 <3
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! :) And we ALL have issues with looking at ourselves - more or less...I was worried I would look too skinny. Since fat doesn't get stuck on me, the only way to look bigger for me is to build muscles, and when I lost my ballet-body after my injury - and all those muscles disappeared - I looked anorectic! But when I saw these pictures for the first time I realized I look completely ok, and that I've managed to build some muscles back! :D So even though I'm used to standing in front of a camera, this nude shoot really did something good for my self confidence too! :) xoxoxoxo
DeleteYou're welcome :) We do, I agree. It's not easy...when I work out, I get muscles or feel I look too skinny, but if I don't work out...everything I eat goes to the places I need no more fat in instead of where I'd like it to go, haha! Such is life..we can only love and accept ourselves as we are :)) Am glad it helped your self confidence as well, that's what it should do most of all! xoxoxoxox
DeleteI feel like I'm seeming a bit pervy or something looking at these photos but I will say Miss Meadows that you have an excellent body which you should be so very proud off, absolutely stunning.
ReplyDeleteHaha! You're NOT pervy for looking at these pictures! If anyone should be called a perv here it's me - for posting pictures of myself naked for the whole world to see ;) xox
DeleteFantastiske bilder! Du er smokin' hot, og bildene er smakfulle og classy! Jeg elsker bildet med balettskoene!
ReplyDeleteTack så mycket! Det var kul att dansa runt i de där balettskorna helt naken, haha! ;) xx
DeleteDu är så vacker! Andra bilden är sanslöst fin <3
ReplyDeleteTack raring! Tycker du é väldigt vacker också! :) xxxxxxx
DeleteNot quite as you were born. You're a bit taller.
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely shots.
Haha! You're right! But not that much taller actually... Still need a chair to reach things on the top shelf in the kitchen ;) xox
