Can I sell photos from a professional nude or lingerie shoot?
Maybe. Being the person in the photograph does not automatically answer the question.
The practical issue is what arrangement you had with the photographer and what both sides agreed the images could be used for.
If you commission a photographer specifically to create creator content for you, you are the client. Tell them before the shoot that the purpose is commercial use on a subscription platform, clip store or paid set. That way the agreement can actually cover the thing you are paying for.
A creative collaboration is different. Both sides are contributing because both expect useful material. You need to agree what each person can do with the finished photographs.
A paid modelling assignment reverses the money again. The photographer or producer hires you for their project. You may receive images from the day, but that does not automatically mean they become products you can resell on your own account.
The easy solution is deciding the deliverables before the shoot. How many edited images? Full resolution or web size? Raw files or not? When are they delivered? Can you crop them, add text, use filters, sell them behind a paywall, use them as public promotion or turn them into other designs?
The answer can be yes to all of that. It can also be yes to some and no to others.
Exclusivity can change the deal too. A photographer may be creating something that depends on the images being exclusive for a period. A performer may be taking a lower cash fee because she expects useful creator content of her own. Both arrangements can work when they are explicit.
"You will get photos" is too vague if those photographs are part of why you accepted the booking.
For recurring performers, I actually like thinking about multiple uses from the start when the project allows it. The main production might get its film while the performer also gets a deliberately separate set of stills or clips for her own brand. That can make one production day much more valuable to everybody.
But it has to be designed that way. It should not appear afterwards because one side assumed being in a photograph meant owning every commercial use of it.
If you want professional material specifically to sell, say that in the first enquiry. Then everybody can decide whether this is a commission, collaboration or paid modelling job and price it accordingly.
