Following the success of the high quality illustrated Active Nudists photo book, we have a new Naktiv project!

    http://www.naktiv.net/photorequest.html
The broad theme is to explore active naked people and their very special relationship to being shaven, or smooth . Even more naked than just naked! This is a subject, (if you'll pardon the pun), which is very close to the skin currently, given that according to a recent Die Zeit article, more than half the teenagers in Germany are smooth, whether for private or public spaces. Please feel free to repost or forward this request on to any related forums, friends or relations who might also be enthusiastic. If you're interested in helping out, please contact me for details of how to submit your material, thanks! rich.inud[at]naktiv.net

The following are answers to some of the many questions which are often asked about the book by potential contributors:

Provisional Title
The focus is, as ever, maintained on Naktiv content, so think: Naked, Active and Smooth!

Main Theme
The theme of shaving is for the classical nudist community to consider, as well as mainstream society, touching as it does on prejudice, acceptance of differences between people and beliefs, all the trauma of old and new getting along with one another, and tolerance of in-, or out-, by other-groups. Let's see what we can do by working together! Help the project along by submitting your images as soon as possible. Remember also that we could be helping to inform the world of the potential which nakedness holds for encouraging peaceful and co-operative societies, instead of rabid uniformed hysteria by self-rightous and judgemental moralists, so bear in mind that your contributions are one more step in the "let's address the problem, not just alleviate the symptom" process. Shave, document and contribute!

Publication
The plan is for us to produce a high quality photographic hard cover book, with accompanying text. The book will be sold online, (eg; via Amazon), and via selected bookshops around the world. The book will naturally also be able to be purchased directly when ordering through any bookshop by using the ISBN.

Content
In particular we're interested in photographs showing smooth people engaging in naked activities, preferably with other people, such that the photos are lively and captivating. Photos of particular interest would include mixed and lively pairs or groups, for instance: male and female, young and old, clothed and naked, etc. etc. Think: interesting.

Contributions
Please note that because we intend to produce a high quality photographic book, the submissions must be of the highest quality. We need original, high definition, images. Anything over a couple of megabytes is probably ok, a direct copy of original file is always best.

Payment
No monetary payments can be made for submissions, because nudist book publishers tread a fine line between printing and bankruptcy, (try it yourself if you don't believe me), however, you will be fully credited in the book, and get an online contributors link from the http://www.naktiv.net website too. Contribute your smooth photos to encourage others to get naked and to bring about a more peaceful world view. Help us to provide images for posterity to look to with pride, and to influence the future in a positive way, by defining our present naked lifestyles with relevant and exciting material. For every three images used you will also receive a free complementary copy of the finished book - which is surely worth the effort of contribution itself.

Finally
Please do not hesitate to contact me with questions, and in particular with those interesting, (active, naked and smooth), images.
