Hello, my name is Nomad and the PhotoNaturals Project is my brainchild. I am a photographer/videographer/web-designer who enjoys the nude outdoor experience and decided to create a visual body of work expressing this feeling of joy and freedom. As of the end of 2008 I have completed over 20 group photo excursions experimenting with various approaches. For 2009 I will need lots more people, so please read on and let me know if you want to participate! I think I know what you want to ask...
“What exactly is PhotoNaturals?”
PhotoNaturals is a series of day-trips to natural locations where several people explore, hike, climb, and swim together while clothes-free. Each trip is documented visually and the resulting photos and videos are presented for members-only on bodyfreedom websites, primarily photozella.com (currently under construction).The goal of the project is to depict nudity as a natural, positive, and uplifting experience against a backdrop of forest, ocean, river, sky, earth - joyful naked bodies connecting with the universe on a sensual and spiritual level. Together we create a kind of heightened nudist world, a place and time where clothes do not exist.
“Is this for me?”
If you are free-spirited and feel completely at home in your nude body, even in an outdoor social setting, and if being photographed excites you, then you will enjoy the PhotoNaturals adventure. You should be a happy, friendly, energetic and physically active person over the age of 18 and not afraid of cold water, heights, casual physical contact, or a little bit of effort. There are no limitations concerning looks, size, race, gender and sexual orientation. Currently I am mostly looking for younger people for the small outings but I will eventually create venues for all ages. Primarily I am looking for the right spirit and attitude!“Who are the people I will be with?”
Every person invited on a PhotoNaturals trip has been carefully selected by me after going through an application process which includes providing photos of themselves and writing about why they want to participate. I combine people that I think will get along well, and I make sure at least half of a group is female. Everyone knows this is a completely non-sexual situation and knows how to behave. So far we have had great success with group dynamics.“What are the trips like?”
Typically there will be about 10 people going to a specific location; some drive themselves, others get a lift with one of my minivans. First we meet at a restaurant and we all have lunch (which I pay for). People get to know each other and I might explain a few things about the day ahead. Then we head out to the location nearby, which usually involves a short hike into nature from a parking area. We establish a home base where we pile our belongings and undress.The better part of the afternoon is spent doing a combination of planned activities and whatever we all feel like doing. We take breaks, eat snacks, hang out. When the light starts to fade and energy gets low we will know it is time to pack up. At this point I pay everyone the agreed-to remuneration and we either drive home right away or stop for snacks. Shooting is done throughout the whole trip and there would normally be 2 or 3 photographers present who are also participating nude.
“What do I get from PhotoNaturals?”
For most outings the honorarium is $140 plus I will add something for gas if you drive yourself. There are variations, for example on another type of trip I will take just 2 or 3 people with me on a "location scout" and for this I will pay $50 because it is more casual and the primary purpose is not to produce a large image set. Larger groups may be $100 or for special events there is no payment. There are other more demanding and specialized shoots with only a couple of people where I might pay up to $200. I pay for meals and snacks as well. You also get selected hi-res copies of the photos, which you are permitted to use for self promotion or other personal uses. The social aspect is not to be ignored - you may make some great friends!“What is the Photozella Festival?”
Once per year I sponsor a large beach event for PhotoNaturals participants and approved guests. The day is packed with games, contests, live music, dance, bodypainting, performances and whatever else we can come up with. Maybe you have some ideas. I will need some volunteers to help with food and drink, leading activities, or greeting new arrivals. I will also need drivers for several minivan rentals. Currently the date is set as Sunday October 4, 2009 and it will happen near San Francisco. You are not paid to attend but there will be some cash prizes. There is no upper age limitation for this event.“How do I get involved?”
Complete the simple on-line form by following the link below. At the initial stage I do not need detailed personal information, only a sense of who you are and generally where you are from. Remember, I am looking for people who are open about bodyfreedom and have an energy, spirit and enthusiasm for the goals of PhotoNaturals. Whatever you can tell me and show me is important. Couples and single women applying can almost certainly be accommodated. Single men applying should realize that there are far more of you than I can include and if you really want to participate you need to convince me why you should be chosen; you may offer something unique, perhaps a special talent or performance. Or, just find a female who will register with you - that is the best solution. We are also looking for any private locations to use for small groups - a backyard with a pool - a farm - a garden rooftop... suggest something!APPLY TO PARTICIPATE ►
