Implied nudity refers to images in which models appear to be fully or partially naked when they might not necessarily be. The photographer captures her image while she looks deep in thought and shows a lot of skin. These images are then colour-corrected or edited with dreamy filters.
However, she went on to say that Singaporeans are still not open to implied nude art. I feel good in my own skin, so why not flaunt it? You only live once. If these photos are done artfully, people nowadays can appreciate and praise it. While many photographers keep these photos for their personal portfolios or upload a select few onto their own professional Instagram accounts, some of the models revealed that there have been occasions where the photos are sold privately to clients.
When asked whether they had any concerns about how their photos are used, Violin and Amanda were both nonchalant about men possibly getting sexual gratification from the pictures. Amanda views it in a more altruistic way. Besides posing in the name of art and body empowerment, such gigs offer fast cash, too. There have been times when there would be more than one photographer shooting the girls, to save money and time.
The risk behind risque photos. Once something is posted online, it will always be there. For the seemingly cavalier Amanda, she admitted that she once feared her photographer might disseminate the photos freely.
If one day something went wrong [and he released the pictures], then how? In December , Violin discovered doctored photos of her being leaked onto social media platforms, blogs and forums. The implied nude model said that her photos were edited to make her look completely naked. I was told that they were posted on several websites. In , explicit photographs of a then year-old model were leaked to the SammyBoy forum and subsequently shared onto local blog Singapore Hall of Shame.
