Our rough guide to modelling levels.
|
PORTRAIT |
Any picture clothed, can include full length or head and shoulders. |
|
FASHION |
Can include anything up to full nudity. Not really a “level” in its own right and clear boundaries need to be set before shoot.
|
|
GLAMOUR |
Images are normally sexy in nature, typical men’s mags style, look in Zoo / Nuts etc for examples. |
|
IMPLIED TOPLESS |
Frequently used as a term to indicate that the model will not be wearing a top, but that her breasts, especially her nipples, will be obscured or hidden in some way, such as photographed from the back, or with her hands held over the breasts. |
|
TOPLESS |
Any picture, clothed or not, where nipples are exposed including see-through clothing and wet look shots. |
|
IMPLIED NUDE |
Like implied nude but for the whole body. Think shower adverts! |
|
ART NUDE |
Naked posing including see through clothing,featuring the body as it theme. artistic rather than sexy. Often black & white. |
|
EROTIC NUDE |
As above but more sensual. Typically (but not always) with lingerie, high heels and attitude. e.g. work by Helmut Newton/Bob Carlos-Clarke. |
|
UK/US Mag etc. |
Various levels of porn. Everything until this point is for the the eye and brain - from here it's further south! philipnashphotography do not work above Erotic Nude. |
