Recently, you can often hear about the nude style. At the same time, many do not even fully understand what it is about, mixing nude with erotica or pornography.
What does "nude" mean
The term "nude" comes from the French language and means "naked", "undressed". This trend in contemporary art, in which the central place is occupied by the image of the naked human body, mostly female. But not always. It can be a man, as well as a man and a woman.
Do not confuse nude with erotica - they are not the same thing. The nude style is meant to show the beauty of the human body through the powers of art, but not to excite anxious men. Photos are created in this style. Moreover, one should not equate nude with pornography, as it often happens. There is not a drop of vulgarity in nude photography. This is, first of all, the youth and health of a model or sitter. By the way, it almost always depends on the mood of the model how successful and exciting this or that photo session will be.
In contemporary art, the nude genre is represented mainly by photography. Previously, these were sculptures and paintings. Nude photos are designed to show the beauty of a nude young body, a healthy complexion, natural beauty and grace. And nudity is not always vulgar and inappropriate. The task of the photographer is to convey to the viewer all the naturalness and grace of the body in its original, uncovered form.
Most often, works in the nude style, on the contrary, personify innocence, because the author tries to hide intimate parts of the body and accentuate the thigh, wrist, curls, etc. Through the detail, the artist tries to convey not only the external, but also the internal beauty of his model. At the same time, the poses that the sitters occupy, the play of light, when nothing is visible, except for a nude silhouette, are important. The rest is born in the imagination of the viewer. Nude photos by some authors are on the verge of nudity with a touch of surrealism.
Nude and the future
Today, nude photography is pushing the boundaries of conventional art. This genre can be treated in different ways. However, it is undeniable that nude is the future of modern photography. It is worth saying that for the seeming simplicity and uncomplicated nature of nude photos, successful nude photos can only be taken in a professional workshop with the appropriate light, etc. At home, such photos are not obtained at the proper level.
There is a widespread belief that nude photography is in demand mainly among the male population. This is nothing more than a myth. This genre of contemporary art has a very large audience. With their simplicity, but at the same time elegance, beauty and naturalness, nude pictures evoke only admiration, but not disgust and lustful thoughts.
