MidbrowArt - Parts

Parts. Although this fits in with the concept of classic nude photography (examples of disembodied hands, torsos, breasts, etc. abound in artistic nudes), I think it is, in reality, the most dehumanizing form of nude photography. People argue that it's art, and, yeah, some shots may actually come close to that, but, when you think about it, without the face of the subject, it becomes just some body part detached for people to gawk at. Just how dehumanizing it can be was best summed up by one of my models, who, when looking at some shots from a session we had done, said, "Whose pussy is that? That's not mine, is it?"
