This makes me cold just looking at it XD but it's a beautiful picture!

Now I'll come up with a story explaining what "Snowgirl" is doing in this picture: Let's see, what is a snowgirl? Why are snowgirls butt naked but they wear a scarf? Also, why do snowgirls have perfectly styled hair while standing in the middle of nowhere, alone? Maybe hair is the only fashion statement snowgirls can make apart from their scarf and tattoos, now that they're always butt naked somehow. But, if their hair is an important fashion statement for them, why do they shave their body hair? I mean, more hair, more fashion statement! And what's with the color of the hair? Maybe snowgirls use hair color as a status symbol: Purple is low-middle class. Red is elite: Now I wanna see a red haired snowgirl and envy her!! I want her to ridicule the purple haired snowgirl, rival her, and then I want the low-middle class, purple haired snowgirl to win the fight! Hmm hmm, but why are they butt naked? Maybe snowgirls alway feel extremely hot and tend to sweat even in cold weather! That's why they live in cold, snowy areas, duh! But if that is so, why would a snowgirl wear a scarf around her head? Wouldn't that feel too hot?! Well, maybe her head feels cold for a biological reason but the rest of her body feels hot! And that's why snowgirls always shave their body hair, which would have made them feel even hotter! But, why exactly would Snowgirls' heads feel cold?! Maybe they don't feel cold! Maybe they're hiding something! Fact is, snowgirls are bald at the top of their head!! The rest of their perfectly styled hair comes from their complex of being bald at that spot! The spot also feels extremely hot like their body does, so, they can't wear a wig, either. They try to hide it by wearing losely woven scarves! Snowgirls are usually very anxious about this fact and to hide their anxiety, they always try to look cheerful and pose in interesting, flashy ways. But that's obviously very tiring! This picture was definitely taken while a snowgirl was doing her best, secretly sweating, trying! Poor snowgirl! Now I feel sad
Lol. I was bored. I think as a model who has been hired for concept shoots, I couldn't do this one because of continuously thinking how ridiculous it is that I'm wearing a scarf that shades my private areas BUT no underwear, lol, while standing in the middle of nowhere covered in snow, with bare feet. Also, I have perfectly styled hair for doing what exactly in this nowhere?! I would question it till I'd drive everyone crazy and the shoot would get cancelled. BUT, if they gave me a crazy, ridiculous story like the one above, which they actually do in shoots, well I'd try, I guess, haha. But I wouldn't like it. Man, some of those "concepts" are seriously ridiculous.

This is the kind of pic where your first response is a giggle because DAMN that must have been a cold shoot! Lots of airbrushed gooseflesh! Cool idea though.

Look, I think you should be allowed to do what you want, but could you put a mature tag on this? I don't personally mind but keep in mind there are minors on here

I don't think it needs one. It's just the human body and not sexual in any way. But I guess it just depends on your perspective!

I personally don't see anything wrong with it but some people are saying they see her privates. I don't see it but if they do then idk

it is still a form of cosplay. she has a lot of cosplay pictures. hard to deduce its cosplay.
it actually pretends to look as cosplay, in order not to be 100 % erotical or sex etc.
so hard reading is not

Actually no. It's not cosplay. For it to be cosplay, she'd have to be portraying something or someone. She isn't.
And just because she may do a lot of cosplay, that does not make non-cosplay images cosplay.
The way it's made to look or photographed does not make something cosplay, either. That part is merely photography.
Learn definitions, please.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
i just saw u reply to most of the comments bellow the picture. are u her bodyguard or boyfriend, or you have nothing else important to do, except for commenting the comments with ur subjective opinion, trying to sound calm and non agressive, but actually being passive-agressive. if i did saw this from the begining, i was not even going to reply to all of ur nonsense.
p.s. i wouldnt be surprised if u start talking about my grammar, in order to change the topic slightly, because i dont care about my grammar, which is perfect argument for u, to reinforce your theory that this is not cosplay, despite the fact that grammar has nothing to do with the actual topic we started to talk
i think all of this is called trolling, or u may tell the right definition of urself
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, I am neither. I just can't stand inaccuracies and bullies.
And trust me, you wouldn't like it if I switched to being active-agressive.
I don't even know why you would bring up grammar and construct an entire strawman based on your erroneous assumption that I would attack you for it.
I actually couldn't give less of a shit.
And again - it's not a "theory". This is photography. Not cosplay. Look it up.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you say it like the tags are appearing by themselfs, which makes their "function" useless or wrong. she didnt want the image to be a cosplay image, so the 1st tag she put there is cosplay. the 2nd one is photoshoot. its not like SHE chose to put them there(there is irony here). and that does not mean anything to you? what a logic
+ cosplay means that you are playing a role. obviously she is playing the role of snowgirl. it could be a character from her own imagination. if that is the case, it s still not cosplay right? otherwise the image would have the name girl. girl in the snow. nanakuronoma. nanakuronoma in the snow etc.
+ you totally know what im talking about - the strategy to present something as something else, in order to be a better product. if you classify something not as porn, but erotic, nudes etc its still gona be a sexual product. BUT if you call an erotical/almost totally nude photoshoot "cosplay" suddenly it becomes the product cosplay. suddenly it cannot be judged too hard about the sexual message, because its not sexual product, but an art - "cosplay". there is a thin line between the two, and MANY of the cosplayers today (female in the most part) are exploiting the cosplay for sexual assaults under the name cosplay. that s what i meant from the beggining
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
She obviously put the tag in there because that's what she's known for.
That doesn't make the image itself whatever the tag says.
No, cosplay doesn't simply mean you are playing a role. Cosplay also by definition and the very word itself refers to the making of an actual costume, one that is recognizable as said role or character. In order for this to work the character MUST by definition be recognizable (by the costume and/or mannerisms), which precludes your "imaginary" characters if they have not been established somewhere yet (in this case, this has not happened).
The only rational conclusion to draw from this (and from the selected category, which is Photography / People & Portraits / Self-Portraits and NOT Photography / People & Portraits / Cosplay), is that this is an instance of regular old photography by an artist usually known for doing cosplay. It's very simple common sense, really.
And just to note this here: Cosplay and sexuality are NOT mutually exclusive in any way.
And I REALLY don't know how the fuck you get from this to sexual assault, because that has literally NOTHING to do with it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it has nothing to do with exposing her body in order to get bigger audience, y pf what it has to do with cosplay and photography ???
if she really loves her body so much, it should be for herself. it seems, its not just that, may be she wants attention or just money, u have to ask her
and again, we are far from the 1st topic, and the most important one - ill call this image "similar" to cosplay in order not to listen to ur bullshit again.
and y - it has to do a lot with sexuallity, otherwise Deviant art wouldnt have become a soft porn site tolerating 100 % cosplay skills but nudity
u know what im talking about. and i dont see why so many people are offended when someone critisise the overflowing nudity in FEMALE cosplays and photography
tnx god we men dont have big boobs that drive crazy the female part of the world, even without being naked
p.s. if it had nothing to do with sexuality or nudity, she wouldnt have 432908324908 nude pictures ( again, if someone loves so much something for itself, and for himself he wont feel the need, to show to the whole wide world that he loves that certain thing. here the case is the same)
if you are going to explain 1 more time that this is not cosplay, please dont do it, because its useless. she is cosplay - oriented, she can speculate around the cosplay, photography, nudity, sexuality in order to gain more attention or publicity (she knows the reason why)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And who are you, exactly, that you believe you can dictate to her who or what her body should be for?
That is not your decision to make, it's hers. If she wants to pose nude and share that, she has every right to do so,
and YOU have no right whatsoever to tell her not to do it.
Oh, it does have to do with sexuality, yes. Read my reply again, you were talking about sexual assault. That is a very different thing and has absolutely nothing to do with this.
That said, there is nothing wrong with sexuality in art, and just because a piece of art has some sexual elements, that does not mean it's porn.
I really don't want to have to repeat myself here, and it will be the last time, but I really want to emphasize it because you really seem to be too thick to get it:
Go and learn definitions! You know, these things that tell you what words MEAN!
You will find that "soft porn" and "artistic nude" are two VERY different things.
And no. It still isn't cosplay. I don't give a shit how you rationalize it. It's not, because cosplay has its own category on DA, and this image is not in that category.
That is literally all that matters here, whether or not she uses a tag to get more exposure for her work is both completely irrelevant and none of your goddamn business.

at least u are funny
u know that im talking about the exploiting the nature of naked human body in order to get bigger audience or success or money
because i am human, and Deviant has section about comments, this means i can say absolutely whatever i want to say. either u or her like it or not. does not matter. the fact u dont like it - i fucking dont care, really
may be the word assault was a little bit strong, but lets switch it for exploit. despite that u know what i was talking about, so dont change the topic, please
and the best thing of all - how is it possible for me not to like something, but i have no right to say it loudly, but you have the right to freely comment and critisize me, because u dont like what i say
wtf rly? isnt that ironical
u know she is mainly cosplayer. she is obviously doing erotic/nude/partialy nude pics. she is obviously using her naked/partialy naked body to get more exposure and/or money. when i said "cosplay these days" from where all started - that was a general expression and u totally know what i meant by it, but u prefer to confront me for the exact word, not for the whole sense of my statement.
still - cosplay. it means costume playing. which means representing a character. if you know the word character it comes from ancient greek. there is no statement that the character MUST be an already existing one in order to be called a character. i dont think that ususally people are going outside (especially women) totally naked, or only with a hat, in the fucking snow. this means she represents some kind of a character that would go out in the snow naked. this is not true life, this is a character. if that is the case, i dont see why this image cant be a cosplay. and if u read what a character means ( the word) - be entirely fictional or based on a real-life person. i believe u can fucking recognize a fucking naked woman in the fucking snow, which is not what we usualy see during winter times (how sad), which makes the whole scene, picture, idea, snow girl, girl in the snow fictional or real life person character.
and yes i got it that because of the categories etc bla bla bla, u still know what i mean i really dont get it what are u gona benefit from, confronting me literary about a word, and not even the idea behind my words

I didn't say you couldn't state your opinion.
I said you can't tell her what to do.
Sure it's about widening her audience. I never denied that. What I deny is that this is in any way a problem.
Because it ain't.
No, sexual assault wasn't "a little bit strong", it's literally a completely different thing.
Someone going out and grabbing a woman's tits is sexual assault. An image is not and cannot ever be sexual assault.
And I did not know what you meant, that term literally confused me, because it has absolutely nothing to do with this.
Oh, and please, do not assume I know what you mean. You sound fairly confused most of the time and it's sometimes hard to make sense of what you even say.
Not judging, just telling.
So hold on. You're saying photography is only not cosplay when it depicts something we usually see every day or consider normal, and anything out of the ordinary that includes a human model is therefore cosplay because in your warped understanding of the concept it's "portraying a character"? Congratufuckinglations, you just redefined about 95% of model photography as cosplay. Which is wrong.
Cosplay is a specific subculture. Since you appear to be too dumb to take the hint of reading up on the definition (there is one, and it doesn't matter what you think it is but what it actually is), I'll give up and link it for your convenience.
I know googling shit to educate yourself is hard, isn't it?

There. Just in case you deny the first one, I included a few more.
You're welcome.

1st
you better go and see what character means in ancient greek. then come and tell me again i do not understand what im talking about
2nd
cosplay derives from presenting a what? a character, thus my understanding of a character in a matter of cosplay is absolutely right (if you go and check what the word character means in ancient greek)
3rd
she wants to get more exposure by exposing her naked body, which has nothing to do with art or actual skills in life, except for if she trains absolutely each day in order to have kind of perfectly shaped body with low fats. then its gona be pure modeling which i dont think has anything to do with REAL skills, except for just posing, which by itself is not that hard and does not requires special skills
4th
to me using the naked body, without any other skill included (you can read a few comments above ours, what another person thinks about cosplay and "cosplay") is kind of wrong and an easy way to earn someting, even self respect, which is an illusion
5th
read it slow and clear S H E H A S T O T R A I N H E R B O D Y I F S H E W A N T S T O E X P O S E I T
tell the FBI to stop me in case i cant say whatever i want in a free speech internet zone. ty
6th
yes, i can tell her whatever i want, even what to do, she decides to listen or not
7th
stop pretending you dont understand what someone is talking about, changing slightly the topic or covering it by a lot of words and accept that we cant have the same opinion on every possible topic
but to call me stupid when you are pretending not to understand what im talking about in order to prove your point means you are stupid, because you cant find a normal way to prove me wrong
you are no more interesting or fun to me
have a nice day and be happy

See, all I read here is "Hurr durr I'm dumb and can't read definitions to know what fucking words mean and assume that my weird-ass opinion about things is relevant or even remotely factual".
You're wrong, that's all there is to it. I've explained why in painstaking detail numerous times, even citing more than just a few sources. If you're too fucking thick to get it that really isn't my problem.

A character (sometimes known as a fictional character) is a person or other being in a narrative (such as a novel , play , television series , film , or video game ).[1] [2] [3] The character may be entirely fictional or based on a real-life person, in which case the distinction of a "fictional" versus "real" character may be made.[2] Derived from the ancient Greek word χαρακτήρ, the English word dates from the Restoration ,[4] although it became widely used after its appearance in Tom Jones in 1749.[5] [6] From this, the sense of "a part played by an actor " developed.[6] Character, particularly when enacted by an actor in the theatre or cinema , involves "the illusion of being a human person."[7] In literature, characters guide readers through their stories, helping them to understand plots and ponder themes.[8] Since the end of the 18th century, the phrase "in character" has been used to describe an effective impersonation by an actor.[6] Since the 19th century, the art of creating characters, as practiced by actors or writers, has been called characterisation .
it seems its hard for u to read

"A character (sometimes known as a fictional character) is a person or other being in a narrative (such as a novel , play , television series , film , or video game )."
The first paragraph already completely and utterly disproves your entire argument.
There is no narrative here. You just assume there is because of what she named the picture.
Why that is I have not found out yet and I doubt I will.
You're an imbecile.

That isn't what I'm doing. I'm pointing out that being part of a narrative is one of the most essential attributes of a character, it's so essential, in fact, that without it you simply cannot speak of a character because a basic premise of the definition of that word doesn't apply.
In other words: You are wrong. You were, you are, and you will be, no matter how much you tell yourself otherwise.
Please, get a basic education.
And I really don't care if you respect me or not, your respect isn't worth anything to me.

cos-play
costume - playing
snowgirl - sounds like a character that is intended to be in/made of/part of etc snow
this means there is a character here, not just a photo without any meaning
ok you all guys have my excuses - #cosplay #photoshoot #snow #cosplaygirl #nanakuronoma i guess those tags does not mean its cosplay 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Cosplay requires that a character actually exists somewhere as a concept.
This is not the case here, no matter how you turn it.
If any photo that wasn't just an image "without meaning" was cosplay, then basically all of photography would by definition need to be cosplay.
Which is nonsense. I hate to repeat myself, but again, look it up. Shit has definitions for a reason.
No, those tags do not mean it's cosplay. You can put into the tags whatever you like, they exist so the image will show up in searches for certain key words, nothing more.
You could use #cosplay as a tag for a drawing. Does that make the drawing cosplay?
