Nude and Fine Art photography, which would cover many other genres, are more than welcome here in the community when tastefully done. Unfortunately, from what i have seen over the years... all the nude photography in communities, tends toward the porn side of things rather than the art side of things.

I think it's the exploiters that have somewhat ruined this style of photography for many on Hive. I have been thinking of getting some contests rolling in the future, as we have done in the past, and nude photography would probably just generically be fit into portrait category.

I will have to give it some thought, but i am glad you both are discussing. We need the few that do practice with skill and class in this style of photography to set the bar high on how they create and present their content and pave the way for others.

Most of the nude photography i have seen posted is either plagiarism or doesn't have much quality content surrounding it and just leans on the subject matter to get rewarded. So, i would encourage all photographers, no matter what style, to put forth their best efforts in their shots and constructing their posts.
Keep up the great work fellas!
