“What are the Basic Requirements for Photozella?”

❂ Please complete the simple on-line application form. It gives me some basic information about you that helps me figure out what shoots I can offer to you. I will also need at least one current photo of you. At a later date there is also a registration agreement that you complete before I can confirm dates for you.

❂ You must be nude while at any of our outings, photographers included (weather permitting).

❂ You will agree to be photographed nude and agree to the photo-use terms.

❂ You must be over the age of 18.

❂ Please arrive at the location by the designated time, usually noon, and participate in an orientation meeting so that everyone can proceed in a respectful manner with mutual understanding.

❂ Only Official Photographers may spend the majority of time shooting. You may shoot the occasional photo with your camera but for the most part you are a participant. Everyone, including all photographers, will end up in photos.

❂ ALL TRAVELLERS from outside California, please be aware that dates can change very quickly due to weather or other exigencies. Do not invest a lot of money on travel arrangements unless you can afford to lose it or you are willing to change plans at the last minute. You must be able to set up all your own accommodation and transport arrangements as we have no support infrastructure. The only thing we may provide to participants is a bus from a downtown pick-up point to the gathering location.

“Exactly What do I Get?”

✓ Cash! - If you are participating on a paid shooting day, your fee will likely be $200 for the day. Official photographers do not normally get paid since they are gaining a lot of experience and portfolio material. Some days may pay $100 depending on circumstances.

✓ Photos! - Photo sets become available on a secure web site from which you can select images for download. These are full-resolution images suitable for printing.

✓ Your own Photo Shoot! - On request, a personal photo shoot with one of our photographers, staged any way you want. You will own these images and can use them commercially on your own web site if you like.

✓ Photographic experience! - If you are a photographer, some of the participants will be happy to model for you. Work on your composition and directing skills! Hey, you can be both a model and a photographer at Photozella!

✓ Free stuff from our Sponsors! - On request, you will get a one-day free pass to the Sea Mountain Resort luxury nude spa near Palm Springs. On request, you will get al least a one-year membership to www.coccozella.com, the world bodyfreedom information leader and the main showplace for Photozella images.

✓ Make New Friends! - You will meet new friends which may lead to other adventures you are pursuing. Models and photographers can discover each other. Couples can meet other like-minded couples. Singles can hook up with other singles. Just remember to be smart about how you go about this.

✓ Additional paid modeling work! -Many of the visiting photographers are looking for subjects to photograph for other work they are doing. Hook up!

“Is Photozella Safe for Women?”

Most participants will not have met each other before, so naturally there is good reason for caution. We maintain some anonymity with the optional use of nicknames. Models may use their professional name. You may use your real name if you wish. It is up to you how much personal information you give to someone you meet.

We are carefully screening applicants, not admitting anyone until we have developed a sense of who they are and what their attitude might be at the gathering. Everyone attending will be nude and participating, even if they have a camera!

“Is it legal to be nude at a Photozella Outing?”

We are going to recognized nude beaches and in-land locations normally frequented by nudists. So nudity is fully accepted. The exact location of each trip will only be given to those attending and it will be revealed about one week prior to the event. We may also change the location the day before due to weather on the coast. Future events may also take place at private facilities where nudity is not an issue.

“What Happens to all the Photos?”

Photozella is made economically possible through an arrangement I have with coccozella.com. Selected images are presented in gallery form for members only. This is a non-sexual, naturalistic forum that has similar philosophical goals to what I am pursuing with Photozella. Coccozella reports on events and places around the world where bodyfreedom is expressed. Photos will of course also appear on this site, photozella.com. If you shoot any photos, you continue to own your photos but you are only granted rights to include the photos in your portfolio. If you are a photographer and wish to use any of the photos you shoot commercially you must have a separate agreement with every person appearing in the photos, and you must have permission from us; this is normally not possible but we are open to proposals if participants are in favor. So, you are somewhat free to shoot, but that does not mean you can use the images wherever you want; participants at Photozella are NOT granting wide release rights. Conversely, even though photo use is restricted, attendees should realize that exposure is inevitable to some degree and that if being seen on the internet is a serious concern to you, then Photozella may not be for you. But chances are, if you have made it this far down the page, then Photozella IS for you!

“Who is Running Photozella?”

Hi! Call me "Nomad". That's me on the rebounder with my camera. I think being nude outdoors should be regarded as a natural healthy way of being. I am also a photographer and love capturing this experience. Photozella is something I think a lot of people would enjoy. You can help me by attending and bringing something special to share. I have many ideas for group activities and also will bring lots of props and toys for people to use; necklaces, hats, whispy material, feathers, shells, paint, chinese umbrellas, sunglasses, nets, hoola-hoops etc. I will also provide some food, drink, first aid and extra towels. Over the years I have developed a relationship with the folks at coccozella.com and they have kindly agreed to sponsor Photozella by paying for my operating costs like airfares, vehicle rentals, food, and other expenses.
