I have never really had much of an opinion of adult content in art other than what I view as being artistic (appropriate) and the other just being pornographic (inappropriate) in nature. I know one view of adult content by most people is that it is content, such as pornography or violence, which is not generally thought to be appropriate for viewing by children. This would include such things as Hustler magazine, XXX videos, and anything else that shows gratuities sex scenes or gratuities amounts of male or female genitals. Think Playboy vs. Hustler magazine. Playboy would be considered, in my opinion, more artistic in nature due to the way the images are taken. The composition, the lighting and how the images are edited in post all suggest art, an appreciation for the female form and its body. Where you take something like Hustler and explicit imaging of models genitals and acts of an intimate nature between a man and woman just for the sake of it, with no artistic approach or value to it. This I consider inappropriate for art and don’t see value to it. To each their own I guess but some things should just be left for ones private life and the other to be celebrated and appreciated like true art should be.
Now when it comes to my work, I will do nudes but I do them with a purpose or a theme. Not just to do a nude, without rhyme or reason other than to see a pair of breasts. We are all adults and should behave and act as such while working. As a habit, also generally do not take full nudes, usually just implied nudes and topless, since I feel it is easier to justify why I want such poses from my models. Models I work with are made aware of this and I usually receive more respect and cooperation from models after they find out my view on adult content and that I am not just being another pervert with a camera.
