My wifes nude prints

Description:Within the past century, fine art nude photography has carried on this tradition. In many early examples of the genre, photographers had models simulate the austere poses of classical Greco-Roman statues as well as famous painted portraits of earlier eras. Depending on the intent of the photographer, artistic nude photographs can evoke an incredibly wide array of moods through lighting, posing, context, color, and texture. Though the ultimate distinction is left up to the viewer, artistic nudes may theoretically be distinguished from erotic photography in that any eroticism contained within a work of art is secondary to its overall aesthetics. The art of nude photography arose in the 19th century around the time the camera itself was invented. Western photographers wanted to establish the medium as fine art and chose subjects, like female nudes, that were already traditional in other practices.
