Way way back in '84 when I was an 18 year old art student in my very first life drawing class, when the model first took off her robe it was a turn on. To say it wasn't or shouldn't have been is an insult to the female figure. Five minutes into drawing, concentrating on each subtle curve and detail, and hornyness was transformed into a totally different appreciation and love for the beauty of the human figure which I will never take for granted. It wouldn't matter if the model was or wasn't a stereotypical "beauty". The human figure is beautiful, period.
But all of us humans are wired differently. Some people are incapable of looking at the photo from anything other than sexual stimuli. Others of us can't help but appreciate and love the artistic beauty of the human body for what it is, and how different artist show it. I compare this to how some people can enjoy a glass or two of a good merlot, being able to appreciate the aroma and taste of a fine wine. To alcoholics that glass of merlot is poison.
In this photo I see the most amazing lighting; highlighting the neck, shoulder, legs, breast, and collarbone perfectly. The fishnet gives an ever so slight illusion of modesty. To not call this art is an insult. To deny it is sexual is just plain denial. To call it porn is beyond insulting (but some people can't help but see it that way.)
Chelsea, you are beautiful and sexy as hell, and a work of natural art. If somebody can't appreciate all that without perving out, they need to STOP LOOKING AT IT!
Elaborate play with diagonals.
I wonder how this photo would look like if it was darker .. you know .. with more shadows.
Oh, beware! It's sexy!
Go call an exorcist on the spot!
And while you run for the exorcist, think about which detail to alter to improve the picture!
None? Right.
And that's what art is about.
