>>4198335I've seen photographic works of the victorian era from people like Margaret Cameron, Lewis Carrol, etc.. based on literature, mythology and parables. The elegancy and beauty of women were still shown, much less restrained and contrived of course. The 'culture of sexyness' always existed. What are you even suggesting here? that the human beauty is not an essential element to be exploited on photographic works ? Upside down world
It's art photography first of all and the sexual part comes if you want to indulge yourself on it. Its like looking at Greek sculptures, the perfection of the human anatomy was always there to be appreciated.
