Where to get nudes printed

eclipse13 · Jan 13, 2009

A girl I took some semi-nudes of wants some copies printed. I'm not sure who does and doesn't have policies about printing semi-nudes. Any ideas?

Try where ever you get your regular prints done. There are also all kinds of professional labs online that you can send your images to.

Go ahead and email them to me, I'll get them printed for you.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
Maybe shutterfly, or an online one.

I mean seriously, what kind of responses did you think you would get?

Any mass market shop should not have a problem printing out the photos. If you want to be especially safe, simply take it to a RITZ or similar photo shop who shouldn't have a policy about censoring this kind of stuff.

As long as she doesn't look like a minor, I would guess you could get them done anywhere. If she looks young, then I'd suggest keeping a copy of her state ID with you.

She is 23. I may just do them online, but I wasn't sure if shutterfly or snapfish had anything against doing nudes.

They've printed nekkie baby pics for me without blinking, which nowadays are probably more likely to get red-flagged. You could always email/call them and ask - I have found both of their customer service departments very helpful and responsive.

Anytime working with nude You need/should have some type of proof of age form to supply printers and other to be safe
US code 18.2257 is like way over kill for you but something like that is what you need

Not sure about other stores, but the CVS I work at might give you a hard time even if it's just one person partially nude. Two nude people we probably wouldn't print at all. When a tech is in doubt, it comes down to the photo lab supervisor or manager's discretion. We do usually make exceptions for babies and childbirth pics, though. It doesn't sound like you're planning to go to one of these chain stores, but keep in mind they may refuse to print your nude shots. I would ask before you have them do it.

EDIT: They don't have to be doing anything sexual in the pics to be deemed "unprintable". At least not at my CVS.

in all honesty, 10 years ago (maybe even 5) you have to do it online, but most places now will (i know people who even had some printed at wal mart) just make sure you tell the lab tech first so its not a shock!!

A link to Cornell Law site US CODE: Title 18,2257. Record keeping requirements

(1) contains one or more visual depictions made after November 1, 1990 of actual sexually explicit conduct; and

(2) is produced in whole or in part with materials which have been mailed or shipped in interstate or foreign commerce, or is shipped or transported or is intended for shipment or transportation in interstate or foreign commerce;

I dont know if a semi nude photo would qualify. Nudity is not really an actual sexually explicit conduct. I believe they are talking more about the actual photographing the act of sex.
