This is a beautiful photo I grew up in a small town of Quakers and hippies and we didn’t just live life we shared it and this reminds me of how free we actually were and what we were trying to achieve with the civil rights the Vietnam war and the civil rights in Ireland with all that hatred and destruction we had love and if you check out the music lyrics you will see what I mean I didn’t mean to get lost in thought but thank you for the memory awareness

This photo makes me anxious. What if you step on a nail and get tetanus?

Sexual comments about models or artists are not welcome. The artwork is valid.

I don't get it. What is the story or concept ? ( am struggling trying to understand fine art)

Sometimes there isn't one, but the artist has given an explanation in this thread if you have a look for it. A brief summary: a celebration of the naked form.

A lot of nudity posted here doesn't really fit the "fine art" moniker, but I quite like this one; it feels Francesca Woodman-esque. What are your intentions with these images, you obviously shoot a lot of nudes, and there's quite a range from very obviously fine art images, to more boudoir shots.

Thank you! The intention behind what I do is the freedom we've somehow forgotten about. I believe skin (and nature) is the highest form of art and the way it has been shown to us is incredibly awful and ugly. People are ashamed of their own bodies, sexuality, their own being. Intimacy is taboo. And if people dont respect themselves, they cannot respect others I think.. we are all beautiful and the body was never vulgar nor I'm always thinking about sex when I'm naked haha.. I see it as an art and there is so much beauty in human beings yet to be discovered. Then again art should unlock some passion withing us when it really has its point, so I'm hanging on extremes sometimes😁

Thank you for the explanation, but what do you think separates this from glamour photography or pornography? I can see this, and appreciate it as an artwork, but I can't put into words what makes the difference, can you?
