Comments on: Nude, Naked, Pornography? http://bytor.co.uk/2006/11/01/nude-naked-pornography Where confusion is the default setting...

If the shot is taken with eroticism as its root and motive, then the photographer is marketing that work as porn. If the photographer and model work together to create what they feel is a fine art nude image, then that too is the photographers motive. I call this "Intent" However, once an image is in the public domain; online, published wherever, how the viewer perceives that image, and what it does for them, is out of the photographers hands. This I call: "Impact" The motive and Intent of the image creator define the root of the image. The Impact on the viewer defines the success of the image creator at articulating their vision. I believe this is a good gauge for us to measure our standard as photographers. How well do we articulate our Intent? I see it as a matter of Impact and Intent.

Basically.... if it looks good. Its art :) Hey

That's a disappointment! Well, I think the difference between Fine Art Nude and Pornography, is the intent behind the creation of the image. If the intent is to get the viewer all hot and bothered - horny if you prefer - then its porn. Otherwise, its Art!! Anyone want to talk about it? We could get a good little group therapy session going here... I know I need one! Aw well, I guess no-one can be bothered joining in, or contributing to the discussion at all.
