We understand nudity is a part of some photography, and can be a tough area to determine it’s appropriateness. As a rule, we are trying to keep Shoot the Frame a safe place for all members and users over the age of 13. Please make sure any photos which contain nudity have the ‘adult content’ filter applied. If Shoot The Frame believe the nudity is not suitable for the platform, it will be removed at their sole discretion. If the photo has pornographic or overly sexual imagery, you are breaking the guidelines.

If you find another Shoot The Frame member has uploaded a photo which does not fit these guidelines, please report the member from their profile, or contact Shoot The Frame (admin@shoottheframe.com) with the username of the member.
