Exhibit your Photos at Coccozella!
Send in Photos for Free Membership!
If you shot some photos at a beach or any place or event where clothing gets scarce, anytime over the past 10 years or so, those photos are like valuable currency here. Send your images to us! We will edit them and present them attractively in your own galleries on coccozella.com. If you don't have anything to submit, why not shoot something new? Take some friends to the beach who you know like to get naked, and shoot a photo-diary of the day! Your benefits may go beyond free membership.
Here's How...
Easy... email or ftp. Most people use email. You can just write us an email, telling us where and when the photos were taken, what posting name (Nickname) you wish to use, and about how many photos are in the current batch you are sending. Attach about 3 mbs of image files and send it off. Send as many additional emails as you need to to get all the images in this batch to us, keeping it to about 3 mbs per email. "Zip" the photo files if you like. You should hear back from us within a day with your free membership. Make sure your email has a clear subject line so we know it is not spam (we get a lot!).

If you have the time, we prefer you use the form below to make your application. It makes the process a little more orderly for us.
FTP... If you have a lot of large images to send us we can set you up with a place to ftp to. But we should establish a dialogue first.
Please read the additional guidelines about image submission below the form.

Here are some more tips about making this process as satisfying as possible.
Our number one problem is dealing with images which have been shrunk down too much and compressed too much. Modern digital images are amazing and we want to carry this over into our galleries. Let us decide how much to crop and shrink your image and how much they should be jpeg compressed.
Send us the images as they are, straight out of your camera if they are jpegs. If they are really huge raw files from a pro camera, you do have to convert them to jpegs but make sure the quality level is high.
If you know what you are doing and really want to work on your images before sending them to us, remember that we try to show photos as large as 1200 pixels across, so you should send your images at least 2000 pixels so that by the time we re-size them and add our superimposition, the quality is still good.
Look around the website. We are interested in outdoor public nudity of all kinds: beach nudism, nude events, flashing, protests with bodyfreedom. We also accept "artistic" outdoor photography with models. Please include men in your images when you can. Coccozella is not really supposed to be about "girlwatching" as such, but it is hard to get away from, isn't it?
We are NOT interested in bedroom shooting or overly sexual content. We also do NOT publish voyeuristic photography such as "upskirts", hidden camera or window peeping. Please, no subjects under about 20 years of age!
Another problem we have is that someone will send in 10 photos from one event, then 3 months later send 10 more from the same set. The contributor thinks he can stretch his free membership time. All the photos you have that go together as a set should be sent all at once. Don't worry about membership time; you are better off sending more at once.
If you already have lots of photos you have shot over the years, organize them into sets that can go together in individual galleries. Single galleries can be as big as 400 images (like Nomad's Bodypainting Festival shots). A gallery can be as small as 10 images but we don't really like to do that. Please keep track of what you have sent and what you have not.
We get LOTS of pictures every day and they all end up in the same directory on our computer. So, it would help if you named your files with the same name and numbered them, like: miami01.jpg, miami02.jpg, miami03.jpg, etc. Otherwise, your pictures will be mixed in with others and it may take us a while to figure out who they belong to. Please don't just name your files 01.jpg, 02.jpg, 03.jpg, etc., and don't use beach01.jpg because EVERYBODY uses this!
If you want, you can leave the name that your camera generated, like "DSC_3341.JPG" since it is unlikly we will have duplication within a couple of days of submissions.
Yes, soon you will be able to log into your own coccozella page and upload images through a web browser. Then, in the days after that you will be able to see the status of your gallery: when we finish it, what date it is queued to go live etc.

You can also send us video you have shot and participate in the CoccoClips contests or if you have enough good-quality material we can make an arrangement to sell your video through our shopping cart. We'll do any editing that might be required. >>>READ MORE
