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 2009 I have completed over 30 group photo excursions experimenting with various approaches. For 2010 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 on bodyfreedom websites, primarily naked-club.org (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.
“Is this for me?”
If you are free-spirited and feel 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. But 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 group 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 non-sexual situation and knows how to behave. We have had great success on all the outings.“What are the trips like?”
On a typical outing day there is about 10 people going to the chosen location; some drive themselves, others get a lift with one of my minivans. First we meet at a restaurant and we 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?”
Normally the minimum honorarium is $100 plus I will add something for gas if you drive yourself. There are variations where I pay less or more depending on the type of trip and the details of it. I also provide meals and snacks. 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 will make some great friends! There is a program where you get $50 for each new person you refer to a paid shoot (ask for details), so if you put your own group together it can add up.“What is the Bodyfreedom Festival?”
Once per year I sponsor a large beach event for PhotoNaturals participants and approved guests. The next one is set for Sunday October 3, 2010 and it will happen near San Francisco. 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. You are not paid to attend but there will be cash prizes. There is no upper age limitation for this event. For more information please follow this link.“Where are the visuals shown?”
A new membership website called naked-club.org will be the primary presentation site for our philosphy and the visual experiences we create. It should be open early in 2010. Revenue generated will hopefully be enough to support continuing this project. Selected images will also be shown in other bodyfreedom and nudist venues. I will make every effort that images are only shown in a positive and non-sexual context.“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 ►
PhotoNaturals originally was run under the name "Photozella". Activities presented as "PhotoNaturals" refers to paid outings with small groups. Photozella will refer to special events of various kinds done in the same spirit but vary in theme, scope and organization. The new website (now in construction) that will present the images and videos from Photonaturals and Photozella is www.naked-club.org and will be true to the same spirit of free natural outdoor and social nudity.
