Fine Art Nude: https://img4.modelmayhem.com/060917/12/ … a45d0f.jpg 18+ Artistic Nude: https://img4.modelmayhem.com/061013/10/ … 5423_m.jpg 18+ Oct 14 06 02:38 pm Link 42 Oct 14 06 02:41 pm Link One has boobies, the other has implied boobies. Oct 14 06 02:45 pm Link LGL Underground wrote: Why would it be called nude if it was only implied? Oct 14 06 02:46 pm Link I'm amazed of how many opinions here... I was just asking because, for example, in OMP there is this difference in the portfolios. For me is THE SAME; as always, it depends on who is looking rather than who shot the picture and states one or another. I was just checking for some solid answer, and there were some. But it's just funny. Also, I see that being european changes, once again, the perception: most of the 18+ pics wouldn't be tagged 18+ and on and on.......

Oct 26 06 03:59 pm Link I'm no artist... ...but speaking as a member of the common peasantry, I've noticed both of these terms pop up and applied frequently to images that were largely indistinguishable (at least to a Philistine like myself) from one another. And applied by people who try and act as if they know the difference. Which, in my ignorant logic, leads me to believe the difference between the terms exists only in the head of the person trying to apply it. But, y'know, I'm not as sophisticated as you folks so what would I know...? Oct 26 06 05:01 pm Link Categorization for the sake of categorization. No difference. Ignore. (And frankly, I hate both labels, and I'm often not too fond of the work that's labelled as either.) Oct 26 06 05:09 pm Link I've seen a lot of people use "artistic nude" to mean "tasteful nude" (might or might not be artistic, just not too in-your-face) and "fine art nude" to mean something that appears to be at least trying to have artistic merit despite content. But clearly there's no consensus. Oct 26 06 05:10 pm Link edit: (don't think I really needed two of those, but thanks!) Oct 26 06 05:10 pm Link Scott Harrill wrote: Or "Really Fuckin Great Art" too. Oh my! That MUST be porn! Oct 26 06 06:08 pm Link In memory of Justice Potter Stewart, I couldn't give you a definition for fine art nude, but I know it when I see it!

By the way, you just ended up very near the top of the very short list of photographers on this site that I think are truly rockin'. Wonderful stuff. Seriously. Oct 26 06 08:01 pm Link I've always considered fine art nude to involve mostly the play of light on the shape of the nude body in a controlled/studio setting, and artistic to be more liberal with the setting and lighting. Oct 26 06 08:07 pm Link dgold wrote: Close, but it does not have to do with whether or not it is black and white. In a 'real' fine art nude, according to ppa definitions, you cannot see full frontal nudity (no labia majora) or the models face. It is obscured. Let me come up with some examples. Oct 26 06 08:11 pm Link That being said, I really don't care too much either. I just like taking photos of people, and if they hang out naked in my house, I will take photos of that.

Oct 26 06 08:15 pm Link Webspinner wrote: Yeah, I can't say I agree about face or labia showing meaning it's not fine art. I have both that the photographer and I consider to be fine art, and in fact one with face won at a Chicago gallery. Oct 26 06 08:17 pm Link Marcus J. Ranum wrote: This is good to know. Everyone wants to shoot nudes of me, but I dont do nude. I show my body without being fully nude. Im trying to understand why its hard to understand for some. Some bikini shots Ive seen show more than what I show. Oct 26 06 08:20 pm Link Categories are like codes to me. I use them to distinguish different aesthetics and styles from each other in my portfolio, or when I plan my sessions, or presenting them to clients etc. What I call "fine art", might not be considered as art (at all) in somebody's else's eyes and vice versa. For example I make up many different names for my portrait works as well as fashion, travel, editorial etc. works: Headshot, Casual Editorial Portrait, Formal Editorial Portrait, Natural Light Beauty Portrait, Fashion Portrait, Documentary Portrait, Journalistic Portrait, Creative approach Portrait etc. They mean certain things to me and help me to organize my work. Like shelves. (We have started chatting about it in a tread called Portrait Photography here: http://groups.myspace.com/Wolf189 ) Fine art nude could be more about shape, form, texture and utilizing minimal light on subject while artistic nude could be closer to glamour nude (a middle ground between the two...some attention to sensuality/sexuality of the subject while keeping an eye on a more creative approach towards it) and at times involves digital manipulations to achieve certain unusual aesthetics in the final images....now that is how "I" see them. The next person can see them totally different. My version of fine art nude: https://img2.modelmayhem.com/050804/19/ … aa5be9.jpg or http://www.impactfolios.com/Wolf189/1729/index.htm Cheers Wolf Oct 26 06 08:52 pm Link If you can sell it, then its "fine art." If you keep in in a box under the bed, it's just "art." If you keep it in the bathroom, it's porn. Oct 26 06 09:24 pm Link Fine Art Nude = the model got paid. Artistic Nude = the model is in the kitchen getting the sandwiches and the beer while you're putting in the dvd. Oct 26 06 09:56 pm Link I think were all in pretty much the same ballpark on this On OMP there are categories for Artistic Nude and Fine Art Nude, by and large I put pictures that mostly show no face as Fine Art Nude, studies in classical figure study type work, and yes mostly B+W Artistic Nudes are nudes I post showing a face, in color more oftan than not, that have some theme or story to them, offbeat framing, etc etc Or As One Teacher Told Me: Fine Art Nude - no face, no emotion, not much light Art Nude - face, but she's depressed or pissed off or bored Glamour Nude - face, but shes smiling and horny, too much light Fetish Nude - elements of all the above plus kinky looking props Oct 27 06 03:48 am Link fine art is just the model. artistic has some kind of prop in the picture, like a tree or something. Oct 27 06 05:58 am Link IN PRACTICE THEY can BE THE same BUT artistic IS MORE LIKELY 2 BE APPLIED TO SOMETHING EXPERIMENTAL OR LESS THAN CLASSIC or not in b/w oops reverse caps, sorry!

There are big differences in glamour versus nude versus artistic/fine-art. But it seems to me that "artistic" is just an attempt at saying "fine-art". With the line on big differences so subjective, the line between such a distinction seems mostly just artificial in origin. Oct 27 06 04:21 pm Link |
