What is allowed at Model Society

Uncategorized Dec 14, 2022

Model Society is a community platform specifically dedicated to high-quality figurative fine art ONLY.

While we admire all types of creative imagery, we don't want to confuse our audience with other types of content that is widely available elsewhere, so moderators will remove any images that don't support our mission.


Lighting, backgrounds, cropping, focus, and overall artistic vision and polish are important considerations.

What is allowed? 

  • High-quality, highly finished works of figurative fine art.
  • Images with a strong fine art style
  • Respectful images that celebrate the beauty of humanity 
  • Images featuring adult models as the main focus and subject
  • All models must be 18 or older. All images must feature models who were 18 or older at the time of the photograph.

What is not allowed? 

  • Unfinished, low-quality, or grainy images  
  • Images that focus mainly or solely on genitals
  • Spread legs or erections
  • Images that depict or imply sexual activity or erotic self-touch
  • Images that depict or imply violence, self-harm, or humiliation  
  • Adult entertainment-style images
  • Images that feature or simulate bodily fluids (other than sweat)
  • Works that are not clearly figurative fine art themed (such as headshots, portraits, fashion, glamour, candid, or commercial style imagery) 
  • We don't allow censored images (blurring, boxes, lines, bars, etc. that obscure or distort the original image)
  • We do not allow underage models or images of models who were underage at the time of the photo.
  • We do not allow AI-generated images. Real humans only! Accounts that upload AI-generated photos will be permanently banned. 

 


 

Frequently Asked Questions

You deleted one of my images. Are you saying my work is not good enough? 

When moderators remove images, it is not necessarily a reflection of the artistic value of that image. However, for one of the reasons mentioned above, it is likely outside our scope.

This other person posted the same thing? Why was mine deleted, but theirs wasn't? 

Moderators evaluate images on a case-by-case basis. Each image has its own unique blend of style, compositional elements, and quality, so we do not compare images to each other. They are assessed individually based only on what is presented within that particular image. 

Often, we rely on feedback from Models when assessing particular images. There is no Model Society unless our models feel safe and respected.

I've had multiple images removed; why? 

Often, users upload a large number of nearly identical images from a single shoot. We ask that members reserve Model Society for their best and most highly finished works of art.

My image doesn't violate any specific guidelines; why was it removed? 

If your image does not obviously violate any specific guidelines, it is likely that your image falls outside of Model Society's vision of fine art. Since these terms are difficult to define, please look at these galleries to get an idea of what type of imagery we're looking for.

If your image doesn't feel like it would be at home in any one of these galleries, it is likely outside the general fine art stylization we're looking for.

When uploading images, are there specifications I should follow? 

Images must be JPEG files between 760 and 4000 pixels on the longest side and no more than 25 MB. Images exported in sRGB translate most accurately to the website when uploaded. 

 


 

Moderators will review images with these guidelines in mind but will also take into account the overall impression of quality, respect, and artistic integrity. Model Society is a curated space for the best figurative fine art in the world, so we hold our community members to a high standard of quality, and we hope you'll be inspired to support that vision.

If you have any questions, please reach out to our curation manager at [email protected].

Thank you for being part of this celebration of beauty! ❤
