Photography

Explores the body of nude photography being made by a large group of young artists from all over the world. The collection examines the new moods and outlooks in photography engendered by the heady era that witnessed the explosion of the snapshot aesthetic, the birth of digital photos and the proliferation of online outlets for sharing and exhibiting art. As these changes shaped the means of photography, the relaxing of social mores changed the ends. The young artists of today are more open in their portrayal of sexuality in these intimate and beautiful nudes.
