Full frontal female nude in photography

For P. In his installation at Kendall College of Art and Design , the artist creates a ring of these full-frontal portraits, each illuminated by backlighting, and invites visitors to stand at its center as the rhythmic noise of a shutter click plays in the background. Throughout the last centuries, the female nude has arguably existed as a passive recipient of a kind of visual aggression, becoming an object framed within the context of her male observer. Blurring the lines between subject and viewer, Smith calls into question the dynamics of gender, power, and personhood within the photographic frame. Within this darkened space, the male body is radiant and lit from within, eliciting feelings of reverence even as it is held up to scrutiny and ridicule.

Nude photography is the creation of any photograph which contains an image of a nude or semi-nude person, or an image suggestive of nudity. Nude photography is undertaken for a variety of purposes, including educational uses, commercial applications and artistic creations. The exhibition or publication of nude photographs may be controversial, more so in some cultures or countries than in others, and especially if the subject is a minor. Nude photographs may be used for scientific and educational purpose, such as ethnographic studies , human physiology or sex education.
