The Art of Nudity


Nudity can be an uncomfortable subject in photography and design. But if done tastefully and with class, it can make for a beautiful image. After all, the human body is a beautiful thing and should be portrayed that way.


There are some different things for photographers and designers to consider when dealing with nudity. Lighting and angles take on added significance, as does the posture and position of the model. These images can also be very conceptual, showing strength, intrigue or vulnerability.


Most of all, giving the human form proper respect will lead to some elegant and tasteful pictures. Think Classical, like beautifully carved statues in a museum.


Here are just few examples of nudity done right (Warning: the following images, while artistic in nature, are intended for mature audiences) :
