My take is pretty straightforward: you can only legally find revealing photos of someone online if those images were published with their clear consent and, where applicable, are of legal adults. I dig through a lot of online communities and creator spaces, and the safe places to look are verified profiles, official portfolios, licensed galleries, or subscription platforms where creators sell content directly. If a model or photographer has shared photos publicly—on their verified Instagram, a professional site, or a store like a photography portfolio—then viewing and sharing under the platform’s rules is usually okay.
However, there are a bunch of legal and ethical landmines. Anything distributed without the person’s permission, intimate images shared after a breakup, or content that violates copyright or 'no distribution' clauses is off-limits and could be illegal in many places. Revenge porn laws, copyright takedowns, and platform policies all protect people from non-consensual exposure.
If you're curious, try to find an official source and support the creator — subscribe, buy content, or follow their public channels. That way you respect consent and avoid legal trouble, and you support the person behind the photos, which feels right to me.
