Row over naked photos of Beaconsfield violinist
9:24am Thursday 26th April 2012 in News Exclusive By Lawrence Dunhill
Photo by Helen Jones
A ROW has broken out over naked photographs of Beaconsfield violinist Analiza Ching - who starred on TV show Britain’s Got Talent.
She says the pictures, showing her with a carefully placed violin, have "brought shame on her family" after being splashed over the internet and tabloid press.
The 29-year-old, who moved to Britain from China when she was 16, told The Sun newspaper: "They were never supposed to be seen in public but because I have been on TV they are now all over the internet.
"I’m so upset that this has over-shadowed my performance on BGT...Those naked pictures have made it over to China where my family live and they are so upset....
"My relatives are completely shocked and are saying all sorts of nasty things to my parents..."
And she sent the Bucks Free Press this statement: "I was told by the photographer that she just wanted to try this (nude shots) to see what it would look like. That they would NOT be put out (issued) and that she wouldn’t use them. I trusted her."
This prompted a vehement statement of denial from the photographer concerned.
The photos were taken in autumn 2010 by Surrey-based photographer Helen Jones. She was working with freelance journalist Peter Robertson, who did an interview with Ching immediately after the shoot.
Mr Robertson, speaking on behalf of the pair, said the first of the pictures appeared alongside an article in The Daily Star Sunday on October 24 of that year, in which Analiza revealed she never wore underwear when performing, including a show she did for the Royal Family.
He added: "Ching posed for the naked pictures for the purposes of raising her profile. She didn’t just know they’d be offered to the media, she wanted them to be.
"I still have an email she sent me on the day the article was published, with one of the naked-but-for-a-violin pictures taking up most of the page.
"In that email Ching expresses her delight at the publicity, adding that her manager was similarly thrilled and suggested we should ‘get on to a few more other papers’.
"When more of the photos hit the press during the weekend of Ching’s recent appearance on BGT, she was quoted as saying she’d happily pose naked again, wouldn’t mind performing naked in the live rounds of BGT, or if she ever got the chance to play for Prince Harry."
He questioned whether she was trying to ‘save face’ back home in China, adding: “Her excuses cast aspersions on the professionalism of myself and Helen Jones.
“Why would a top photographer like Helen have wasted her time and money doing a shoot with a micro-celebrity like Ching if the resulting photos were not to be sold?”
Analiza appeared on Britain’s Got Talent earlier this month and made it through to the next round (see related links and video below)

i think the picture would look a lot better without the violin
It is clear for all to see on which side the integrity sits in this dispute.
So now they know she is all fur coat and no knickers back in China, live with it honey!

ivor would be in a terrible position as he would be unable to take the photographs that threaten his purity to the garden shed to tear them out in a subdued light as well. (A lot of us are still waiting for the long-promised blog on his purity.)

These photos are the tip of the iceberg. There is a video doing the rounds with horses and all sorts of depraved activities. Apparently.

To call a photograph of a young woman who ( in the end) actually is not showing anything a, " vile, disgusting, perverted and depraved picture" says a lot more to me about the mind of the writer of the blog then it ever good about a photograph of a pretty young woman.
I do not know why Steve Cohen allows such rubbish in his newspaper ... oh wait.... ;)

In fact someone could go on there and make the stock response anyway :)

I can understand that this kind of photo is frowned upon in China, but then don't trust third parties with your secrets. Remember that with rising fame you will attract many friends which will turn out to be "friends" you can do without.

This girl is plainly in the wrong if you read the photographer's explanation. She's attention seeking hoping it will lead to music fame. Why did she ever pose nude like this? She must live with that silly decision now.
We should however wish her well with her violin playing.

Looking like that, she shouldn't worry. Her appearance on BGT proves she's very talented as well as beautiful.

The press release was sent to the BFP, and probably many other newspapers, with the sole intent of generating more publicity for Ching.

Maybe it was Ms Ching's own curiosity. But then to satify self-curiosity, there is always the faithful mirror on the wall ....
The photo was, in all proababilities for publicity, but this backfired when the photo reached China. A miscalculation by Ms Ching, surely.
