Nude photography has been a constant topic of debates especially among womens advocate organizations. They condemn this art as an excuse for pornography and exploitation of the models private body. They say that posing nude is just an excuse for soft pornography. A gallery exhibit at North Carolina is a collaboration of two prolific painters namely: Caroline Vaughan and Wojtek Wojdinski. Their exhibition focused on the most controversial subject which is Nudity.
Vaughans works include images of nude women amidst a landscape backdrop. Some images entirely show the beauty of a landscape including waterfalls, mountain ranges and farms. There were two photographs that garnered exclamations from critics and spectators during the exhibit. It was the photo of a nude woman at the onset of chemotherapy and after surgery. The photograph does not intend to shock its viewers but merely to show the human body in the sickness of cancer.
Wojdinskis images are also very appealing and great. He was able to capture the beauty of the human body using different techniques of playing with light and shadow. There was an image of a black man staring out of a window in a wistful manner that garnered praises and acclaims for critics. The image featured the well-chiseled body and muscular tone amidst the dimly lit room. The mans muscle lines were very well defined through the dimly lit room.
