Exactly. The lecturer was talking specifically about how the nude in photography is perceived, not as it was looked upon in classical, traditional arts. Photography is closer to the mirror of our selves than any previous art form (wait until someone depicts the nude in 3D!) and, for that reason, seems to generate the discussion of "art" vs. "porn". Do modern painters and sculptors even have this discussion? I would be willing to bet that they don't. Anyway, the discussion does get to the uniqueness of photography as an art form.

I would draw the line between pornography and art nudes somewhere else - after all, a naked body (with a head, and eyes that look at "you") is not something "pornographic" in itself, is it? You can't call all Greek and Roman sculptures "pornographic" just because they are naked bodies with a face… It is more in the posture of the bodies, the gestures, the message of the photograph… I know photographs that are "simply" portraits - and the model happens to be without clothes. Nothing anywhere close to what I'd classify as pornography.

I tried to make this a straight art nude image; however, the coyness of the model’s pose just imbued the image with a sensual eroticism that is hard to ignore. Thank you Eddie, Model Mayhem has been calling for you.

I can't see the model's face. Must be ART.
