Nude Child Photography OK?

the question is:

is it art or an object?

assuming art requires ability beyond what is considered average.

to have it posted in a gallery isnt right, especially if the children cannot give they're concent, however family snaps like the ones i was talking about are fine.

Art is art, as music is music,
if you don't know what is art for you, I can not help.

 

I allready said this:

Do you see photogrphy as having some artistic qualities or at the same level of a master painter. Music is art, given the criteria established above the musicians would have to know how to play well.

 

at the same time is sfumato an illusion or is it something more?

 

Painting is different than photography as fish are different from birds, but they both are animals. Painting and photography both require skill, training and talent; the tools are different that's all.
I personally know both good painters, musicians and semi-pro photographers.

For example this photo is both nude and art: http://www.flickr.com/photos/quizz/194624980/
So is this, though not nude: http://www.flickr.com/photos/quizz/255761455/

 

The problem, for me, is you can get lucky with a photograph but not with a painting...i know a enough about photography and can tell you i can put a camera into the hands of an inexperienced child and get an image that would be quite good. Even if it was one out of a hundred it would not matter.

That is a nice image, maybe a little overprocessed. As far as the 'nude' photo, i never said i have a problem with the human body or its image.

 

why thankyou, dont think ive ever been called sweet before!!!

the black and white photo is art! i like it!

 

If that were true, all art photography galleries would be overwhelmed with works by children, but they are not.
It takes more than a lucky shot in the dark to be an artist.

 

now that i am thinking about it i cant see whats the differance between nude photos now, when famous artisits used to paint them years ago

 

Here are a few more examples... what do you think? Art or Not? Please view entire album.

its only recently that its been considered taboo if you don't believe me go look at the album cover for blind faith

 

if the child is old enough to know what he/she is doing then i see no difference in an adult or a child doing it.

i dont actualy care either way because im not offended by much that my eyes see. if a child is forced to pose naked or dressed for a picture it is wrong, simply because you ar forcing a child to do something that is not needed for him to survive in this world,

if a child wants to pose for pictures then i dont see why he/she is not allowed to do so, we as modern humans have so many issues and problems with things that it is not natural or healthy, we are so caught up with morals and ethics that we forget what is natural,

if we went back a few thousand years i doubt anybody would care who was naked, be it a child or an adult, but nowdays people wont let anybody be naked in public, even though it is perfectly natural for us to be naked we are told not to do it, just because some people dont like it,

lots of people have to deal with things they dont like, but when it comes down to bieng natural its not allowed, women are not even allowed to breast feed in ublic in many places either. the modern world is utterly stupid with these morals of right and wrong,

we cant do many things that are natural in public, we cant have sex, we cant be naked, we cant breast feed, we cant hunt, whats next? we wont be able to eat with our mouths open?.

peace.

 

I tried looking up U.S. laws on the subject but I couldn't find anything.

 

Title 18 of the United States Code governs child pornography. See Chapter 110, Sexual Exploitation and Other Abuse of Children. 18 U.S.C. § 2256 defines "Child pornography" as:

"any visual depiction, including any photograph, film, video, picture, or computer or computer-generated image or picture, whether made or produced by electronic, mechanical, or other means, of sexually explicit conduct, where -
(A) the production of such visual depiction involves the use of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct;
(B) such visual depiction is, or appears to be, of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct;
(C) such visual depiction has been created, adapted, or modified to appear that an identifiable minor is engaging in sexually explicit conduct; or
(D) such visual depiction is advertised, promoted, presented, described, or distributed in such a manner that conveys the impression that the material is or contains a visual depiction of a minor engaging in sexually explicit conduct . . ."

 

so beig naked is ok then, because thats not sexual its just normal,

peace.

 

Yeah, I guess so ...and after you take the "artistic" pictures, you can sell them to all the pedophiles in town, or post them on the "pedophiles-R-Us.com" or something like that, right?
