For those of you who take photographs of people nude or photograph personal moments - how do you get them developed?
Do you go to a film developer and hope they don’t have copies of the scans?
Do you develop them yourselves? Or have trusted people to develop them?
Thanks!
I’ve (F 27) been dating this guy (M 26) for a few months and he’s a very talented professional photographer. We both enjoy taking pictures and photography is one of our shared hobbies that brought us together in the first place. I used to model professionally and don’t mind posing for him occasionally. Since we’ve started dating, we’ve had a lot of fun occasionally taking ~spicy~ boudoir shots and I don’t mind modelling for him because it’s so fun and sexy in that moment. After we got the photos developed I made him promise he won’t show anyone. We both love the photos he’s taken, and always talk about how cool it would be to exhibit them. I love the photos and really wouldn’t mind them being shown off, they are art afterall and I love how the photos make me feel because they’re such candid shots of a real, unedited/unphotoshopped female body. I really support his art and vision. However, his photography Instagram account has a very large following including some of my friends and family. I am also in a very professional, relatively high level corporate position and I just don’t want that to get messed up by some photos on Instagram. Obviously the ones he’s wanting to post don’t show my face and he wouldn’t tag me, but I mean my mother knows her daughter’s a$$ when she sees it lol. So basically I have no moral oppositions with the photos being shared, and in an ideal world I’d let him post them all, even the more risqué ones. However, I’m also very aware that there are potential consequences of these photos being out there online…for my mom and boss and partner’s mom and random creepy dudes to see. Would it really be as big of a deal as I think it is in my head if he posted a few of the more tame pics? And if I do decide it’s not ok how can I tell my talented, lovely partner who loves me and the art he’s made with me so much that I just don’t want it out there online without coming across prudish and unsupportive?
TLDR: My (F 27) partner (M 26) of a few months is a successful professional photographer. He took some sexy boudoir shots of me that he loves and wants to post them on his photography Instagram account, but I’m not sure how to tell him I’m uncomfortable with that without offending his art.
