We Broke the Sacred Law of Equal Nudity Representation

“Thou shalt post images only in perfectly equal number, lest ye anger the naturist gods!”

In naturist photography, people sometimes expect equal nudity… a perfect 50/50 balance of male and female photos.

But in our case, the camera tells a different story. We’ve been asked, “Why are there more photos of Corin than Kevin?” And the answer isn’t a sacred law we broke, but something far more real.

And the answer is also a blend of intention, art, and let’s be honest, some very human dynamics.

First of all, I’m usually the one behind the camera. Photography isn’t just a tool for us; it’s a language. It is how I experience and process our shared moments. When I photograph Corin, I’m capturing not just an image, but a feeling. A glimpse of the life we’re living together. We wrote about this in “The Lens I Remember Through”, where the camera became a bridge between memory and presence.

Like many couples, we’ve naturally settled into a rhythm where one of us tends to do the documenting, and the other becomes the subject. It’s actually really common in relationships. Especially when one person enjoys photography and the other is just more comfortable in front of the lens. In naturist couples, that dynamic can become even more pronounced, because you are not just capturing moments. You are capturing vulnerability, authenticity, and connection without clothes.

So yes, our photos are lopsided in terms of quantity of who shows up most often. But they’re balanced in spirit. Behind every photo of Corin is a shared moment we created together. Me nude, probably crouched in a bush swearing about the lighting situation, and Corin just being effortlessly beautiful in her element.

Unless you are a selfie person, look through the photos on your own phone. How many pictures are you actually in? I have absolutely zero interest in taking selfies.

We do make an effort sometimes to show both of us or even just me. Tripod’s, mirrors, shadows, reflections, and the ever-humble self-timer… but most of the time, we just lean into what feels natural. Corin glowing in front of the lens, and me somewhere behind it, muttering about the angle and why did my camera just beep, or asking if it flashed or not. But I am remembering.

Why Equal Nudity in Naturist Photography Isn’t Always Possible

There’s also the small matter of Corin being ever so slightly photography-challenged. Without her glasses, she can’t actually see the screen clearly, so the focus square is more of a suggestion than a guide. And we are naturists! No pockets for the glasses so remembering them never happens.

Let’s just say that the rare photos she takes of me are in the style of a Picasso painting. Most tend to be either gloriously abstract, half out of frame, head cut off, or mysteriously focused on a shrub somewhere a hundred yards behind me. We call them “interpretive portraits.”

But really… who cares? Why does it matter if one of us shows up in more photos than the other? Are we supposed to be running some kind of scorecard? There are no rules in life, relationships, or naturism that declare, in ancient scroll or awkward community bylaws, “Ye shall share only equal photos of each partner, else the sacred towel be revoked.” Naturism, relationships, and life are not about perfect symmetry and there is definitely no rulebook that says couples must post equal photos to be “doing it right.”

Spoiler alert: there are more pictures of Corin than me hanging in our house too. And somehow, the world keeps spinning.

At the end of the day, how we share ourselves is based on what feels natural to us. Our photos are about connection, self-expression, and capturing the moment. Not about keeping a running tally of who’s in front of the lens. One of us tends to be behind the camera more often, but that doesn’t mean we’re any less present in the experience. And the experience is what is important to us.

If you’re counting pictures like it’s a naturist Olympics, maybe it’s time to close the tab, get naked, take a walk, and touch some grass. We’re not here to fulfill anyone else’s idea of the “Perfectly Balanced Naturist Couple™.” We’re just being ourselves. And that’s not up for negotiation.

And hey, let’s be honest… Corin is also way more photogenic than I am. So maybe it’s just good taste!
