What might be called Out of Character [[Fan Service]]. When a person, usually female, poses for photographs, a painting or a sculpture scantily clad or even naked.
To avoid being filled with [[Truth in Television]] examples that number into the several millions, include a lot of celebrities of both genders, go back literally thousands of years and are the specialty of enough magazines to fill a small newsagent, we are going to limit this to fictional examples. These are cases where a character does it, for whatever reasons.▼
Another part of this trope is the photographer, who often says things like, "Work it, baby," and, "The camera loves you!"
There are also dozens of sub-tropes, enough to fill a small section of the Wiki, some of which could be titled "Breast of Friends", "Panty Pull" "Let's Save the World — By Getting Naked" and "Not Even Legal In Japan".

{{examples}}
== Anime and Manga ==
* In Satoshi Kon's ''[[Perfect Blue]]'' former pop idol Mima poses for a photographer who gradually convinces her to undress.
* Though done innocently enough and fully clothed, Rika in ''[[Digimon Tamers]]'' is made to pose for a photographer by her mother and ends up running out of the room after becoming upset with the procedure. Given that the photographer (in the English dub) was yelling things like, "Yes! Use that face like you're kissing your boyfriend!" her discomfort is understandable.
* In the ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'' movie, Anthy and Utena end up as partners for an art assignment and have to sketch each other. Anthy persuades the rather shy Utena to disrobe in a scene dripping with [[Subtext]], and when Utena asks Anthy to do the same, an important plot point in the movie is revealed.
* Despite being one of the most violently uptight characters in ''[[
* After an accident in which [[Jerk
** Once, when [[Trickster Mentor|Happosai]] used [[Pressure Point|moxibustion]] to sap Ranma's strength, the latter retaliated by learning the [[Finishing Move|Hiryuu Shoutenha]] technique, which requires the opponent to shed a hot, angry aura. [[It Only Works Once|Happosai was wise to this]], though, and refused to show even the slightest anger. Ranma regrouped, changed into a girl, and took pictures of herself in lingerie — something Happosai had always wanted to see — in order to get the [[Dirty Old Man]] to emit an ''even hotter'' aura of lust.
* Mikuru Asahina in ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'' is constantly forced into such situations by Haruhi.
* In ''[[Slayers]]'', a young([[Kid Hero|er]]) Lina Inverse once made a tidy profit by magically projecting an image of her older sister, Luna, bathing. Luna's [[Noodle Incident|retribution]] is one of the reasons [[Person of Mass Destruction|Lina]] is now TERRIFIED UNTO DEATH by even the slightest mention of said sister.
* In her human identity (Non-Senkawa), this is [[Tetsuwan Birdy|Birdy's]] way of making ends meet.
* In ''[[
* Sort of inverted in ''[[School Rumble]]'' where rumor goes around that one of the more well endowed teachers is posing nude for the art teacher to draw. When the gang of school perverts goes to see the art piece, it's so abstract you can't make anything out.
* In an early ''[[Ah
* Completely and utterly inverted in ''[[Esper Mami]]''
* As with nearly every other form of [[Fan Service]], the anime ''[[Maicchingu Machiko Sensei]]'' plays with this trope:
** One episode showed the school art teacher painting Machiko. It's believed that he is painting her nude at first but we later find out that she was clothed for the session.

* In ''[[The Truth About Cats and Dogs]]'', Uma Thurman's character gets outed as [[Playing Cyrano]] when the male character in the whole thing sees her as Miss January.
* Maybe the most famous example: Kate Winslet posing nude so that [[Leonardo

Line 58 ⟶ 57:
* ''[[Green Wing]]'' has Martin Dear modelling for an art class in one episode. You don't see anything during the class, but the finished painting we see shows him in all his glory.
* At least two episodes of ''[[Baywatch]]'' revolved around female characters posing for magazines. Basically an(other) excuse for a [[Fan Service]] montage. As if they ever needed one!
* An episiode of ''[[Boston Public]]'' had a young one-shot character who was berated for doing so, but they [[Broken Aesop|broke their Aesop]] by having this just-say-no speech delivered by Jeri Ryan, the producer-dating [[Ms. Fanservice]] of ''[[Star Trek: Voyager|Voyager]]''.
* On ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'', Barney discovers a nude portrait of Marshall that Lily had made and asks her to do one of him. She reluctantly agrees, but does get even with him by {{spoiler|[[Barbie Doll Anatomy|omitting "little Barney" from the painting]]}}.
* ''[[Gilmore Girls]]'' poked fun at the frequency of this happening in real life when Lorelai allowed Lane's band to practice in her garage only if she promised to "never pose naked on the cover of ''Rolling Stone'' no matter how much trouble your career is in."
Line 64 ⟶ 63:
** Later in the episode, Tony and Kate go to see the photographer. As they enter the studio, Kate makes the standard feminist "it's demeaning to women" comment. They enter the studio- where three men in speedos are doing a shoot. [[Hypocritical Humor|Kate has a big grin on her face]].
** It gets even better. At the end of the episode, Tony has gone to Panama City for spring break (he may well be 34/35 at this point, but he still acts like the fratboy he once was). Drunk, he gets up from the chair where he's just had booze poured down a funnel into his mouth. He walks over to a wall of pictures marked "[[Wet Sari Scene|Wet T-Shirt]] Hall of Fame". Guess who's the 1994 entry...
* A perennial sitcom plot (going back at least as far as ''[[The Dick Van Dyke Show]]'') deals with a female regular trying to recover and dispose of a nude portrait from her younger days. Usually [[Hand Wave
** On ''[[Life Goes On]]'', the woman poses for the painting deliberately and, very unusually, it's shown on screen.
** ''[[
* A 2009 [[ITV]] drama, ''[[Whatever It Takes]]'', focused on a woman who became a glamour model after her career as a police officer ended after she was caught having sex in a car with a footballer.
* Spoofed in ''[[The Soup]]'', when Heidi Spencer-Pratt modeled for ''Playboy''. They showed film supposedly of the actual photoshoot (but really a sketch) involving a mannequin modeling in a bikini, being knocked over by the fan blowing her hair in the wind, and the photographer desperately trying to rebuild her but ending up creating a Picasso-esque mess. And then he throws mud on it (as the actual photo showed her covered in mud). Of course, the entire time the photographer is yelling things like 'Oh Heidi, you plastic beauty!'
* Following losing her job on Foyle's resignation in ''[[
* In the ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'' episode "Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy", the holographic Doctor has added the ability to daydream to his program, but finds that he is no longer able to control when he is daydreaming or not and is having trouble distinguishing daydreams from reality. B'Elana Torres downloads his daydreams into the holodeck in an attempt to diagnose the problem, and we find that in one of his daydreams the Doctor is an artist painting a naked Seven of Nine.
* One episode of ''[[All American Girl]]'' involves a ''sculptor'' offering to create a nude statue of Margaret. [[Self
* Done in ''[[
* In ''[[Bread]]'', aspiring model Aveline had some topless shots taken by an unscrupulous photographer who sold them to a men's magazine. One of her brothers buys all of the copies of the magazine at the local newsagent so their mother doesn't see them.
Line 87 ⟶ 86:
* In a ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' filler arc, Torg started a sexy webcam when he switched bodies with Zoe, and Zoe herself continued it after finding out how well it paid. A canon strip revealed this to be [[All Just a Dream]], however.
** Worth noting is that said filler arc was drawn by Phil and Kaja Foglio, the same minds behind ''[[Girl Genius]]''.
* In ''[[SSDD]]'', [http://www.poisonedminds.com/d/20091009.html this strip] had in the background a picture of Florence Ambrose, from ''[[
== Western Animation ==
* One episode of ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' had Marge painting [[Fan Disservice|a full-length nude of Mr. Burns]] though [[Scenery Censor|the relevant bits were constantly covered by random objects.]]
* [[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?|Jessica Rabbit]] IS a pin-up drawing.
