next (and last) objekt to shoot is "the pubic hair", which Duncan describes as following:
"At the root of the groin
the pubic hair, for the torso is the stem in which the man
flowers forth and leads to the stamen of flesh in which
his seed rises"
now... this is some sort of a challange to me... besides the question of "how much may I show?" I even strugge on: how and what do I do about "the stem", "the stamen of flesh"... and so on...
any input would be interesting to me... so feel free to help me a little bit. Big Thank You!
On this site, I would think showing only the top would be received well. I personally wouldn't mind it, as I shoot nudes, but the general vibe I get from here is that you will receive an uproar of sorts if it is shown. I recommend only 'implying' it. However, it seems that the uproar I speak of that I have seen happen before, really only happens when someone announces it like this beforehand. I really haven't noticed people commenting on something that wasn't brought to their attention beforehand in one of these threads. Also, there are moderators on here, so I guess you would run the risk of getting a photo deleted by them?
@brumbe
very good idea... I'll consider something like that @sdpace
the picture's great! very intelligent! Reminds me of Amanda Palma's video to "map of tasmania" (although - she showed so much more) @laceyjogautreau
true... I know it's difficult and such a small line to walk on between too much and not enough... I would never go so far showing something too offensive/obvious
I think you go with what you're comfortable with, nudes dont have to be distasteful, and i think any such "uproar" should only occur on photos that are indecent or distasteful, I have shot a nude selfie and a fair bit is visible, although its not the main focal point, its still there.
Do what you're comfortable with and if someone thinks its indecent, you could always take it down, art should push boundaries. :) good luck.
@jinximages
I'll keep it in mind, thanks! @alk1991
right - I know this picture, it's one of my favs I believe, thanks for sharing and bringing it back to my mind again!
@interludephotos
you might be right, I didn't think about the topic too much, although the idea crossed my mind someone might not like headline pointing out the topic like this. But also, I think this way, the reader knows best wether or not to read further about it. In any way, thanks for your reply, I'll give my future headlines a deeper thought.
