NSPART - Black & White Concept Nude Art Piece "F*ck Censorship" featuring 3 images with Chanel (NSFW - Topless)
Hello Fellow Steemians,
This is a concept art piece... There are three images but the Art piece is Composed of All 3. I also sell T-Shirts with each image on a shirt separately.
This is obviously a Anti-Censorship statement. I have always felt it's absurd to censor the human body yet we are inundated with violence every where we look both real and simulated in the media.
As if some how looking at the human body is offensive, will harm someone in some way, but it does cause judgement by some people. Yet seeing people harm people or reading stories about it is fine...
Ask yourself the following Questions:
Do you ever wonder why that is?
Do you think it has something to do with the War Machine?
Do you think it has something to do with Religions and their history of killing and torturing innocent people?
Why is seeing a nude body offensive so much that, there are still people in the world today that will attack someone violently in some cultures for not being covered and in others will judge them and try to make them an outcast?
Why is a nipple offensive on sites like Facebook and Instagram, but you can post pictures of mutilated animals, people being beaten, car accidents, etc...
Why is it that looking at a beautiful human body is something people fear others will shame them for...
For example I have hundreds of view on some of my nude posts, but 1/3 the votes... Yet the people still look at my work over and over but don't respect me or my work enough to Upvote it, yet they look again and again... and I have seen this on other people's post that contain nudity.
What are they afraid of? Are they hypocrites? Do they feel guilty for looking?
I do not know the answers to all of these questions.
But these are questions I have often asked myself over the years and when I see others being judged or attacked for showing their body. It takes courage, confidence, and the ability to "Not Give A Fuck" what others think to pose nude, in a way it's a very Buddhist mindset of detachment from seeking the approval of others.
Note: Just because I believe the Human Body should not be shamed and I'm against the censoring of of it in many contexts I do still believe people should be respectful and there is a time and a place, for example you don't go around posting hardcore porn everywhere and, you would not go to a church naked. This post is about freedom of expression and artistic nudity and the beauty of the human body and how we should see it positively, but I don't endorse using anti-censorship as an excuse to harass, bully, or dis-respect others. There is a balance that must be found between expression and consideration. Which is why I chose to self-censor the title of this post for posting in Steem Chat, yet still express myself uncensored in my post. I find that to be a balance between self-expression and consideration for others.
"Censorship - Why are we encouraged to breastfeed and then the rest of our lives told not to look?"
"Fuck Censorship - Free your mind of these Archaic Judgements"
"Freedom"
Did you know that looking at breasts actually reduces stress and can help you live longer?*

What Goes In To My Work/Art:
For those that don't know, I spend a lot of time on all of my photos, unlike camera phone pictures, or quick snap shots. For any shoot there is model selection, planning, equipment setup, the shoot which is usually several hours where I shoot several hundred photos, then there is equipment tear down, choosing the best images which takes a couple of hours, color grading/correction, and then I spend sometimes an hour or two on a single image retouching and creating the final look, then resizing and watermarking for the web, even my Polaroids have to be scanned in, cropped, have the dust removed, resized and watermarked, so to the people that think I'm just posting a pic or two they are not seeing all of the work that goes into that picture they are looking at.
With advanced photo-manipulation and composites that can add many more hours of work. And what also makes these images possible is the years I have spent learning my craft, the $10,000+ in equipment + the Studio I was paying for that sadly I no longer have, and the model and Makeup Artist (when I use one) are either paid or get additional pictures which means more work for me, none of this is cheap or free it's a lot of work that I do because I love creating beautiful images.
I added this to my posts because it seems that people no longer value professional photography or understand what goes into it regarding, time, expense, etc... And some feel a camera phone picture of a ham sandwich or a selfie has equal value regardless of the difference in production time and cost. Almost every professional photographer I know has been adversely affected by the devaluation of professional photography due to mass proliferation of camera phones and the perception that all photos are created equally, so I try my best to educate people on what goes into what we do.

"Censorship is the child of fear and the father of ignorance"
well captured man!!! hoping to see more.
I definitely agree with your point on FB and Instagram, but do you consider all forms of nudity or nudes as art?
A lot of social media platforms censor posts that have or hint at nudity mainly due to the possibility of having child pornography on their sites and also due to children viewing such content by accident.
I'm against child pornography that's not even in question.
I think children being shamed for looking at a human body is damaging and will cause problems, negative self-images, or make them think that part of their body is bad or dirty. So I think that's a bad practice. I'm not saying children should watch porn at all.
What I am saying is that I think it's not a problem if a child sees a naked body as long as it's not a situation where the child would be endangered or sexualized. So if a child sees educational or artistic or even some casual nudity like a topless woman in a photo on the web on FB or IG, or on a beach, I don't see an issue.
Once again that's not the same as seeing explicit porn which I actually report on FB or IG when when come across it because that is not the time or place for that to be posted nor do I think it's appropriate for children to view.
Also I don't think children should watch violence, arguments, stories about sickness/disease, or anything you would not want that child to experience in life, because from birth until about 18 the brain is like a recorder and children are actually programming the subconscious with what they see, hear, and experience. The younger the child the more this is true as babies are basically in a Theta brainwave state.
I totally agree your views but I think that people do support nudity as an art but it would be very difficult to segregate pornography from nudity on websites and television.
The already do in Europe. They have nudes and topless images in their mainstream magazines and TV.
Good post i like its i have upvote you please upvote me thanks
I like that
FUCK CENSORSHIP
keep them coming man
There's a big inconsistency where for some reason women's breasts are seen as a sexual body part that must be covered (despite their actual purpose having nothing to do inherently with sex), but men's chests can be exposed without issue. It's also difficult on the internet where people across the world are communicating to ascribe one set of expectations for everyone. There are cultures where breasts are completely desexualized or where nudity is normalized as just a part of human existence, and there are cultures where the entire body, or much of it, is considered private and covered.
Actually "(despite their actual purpose having nothing to do inherently with sex)" that part is not correct. They do as breast stimulation has shown to be a primer to women having orgasms and some women can have Orgasms from breast stimulation alone. They also visually stimulate both men and women sexually.
But that is still not reason to censor it. We need to celebrate life, sex and the human body, not shame it.
Ha ha great post
Upped!
@aree
Agree with you totally about the 'ham sandwich'... I spent weeks working on my last post which includes a short video which you might find interesting from a creative standpoint. Upvoted 100% as those that enjoy your work and of course, following b/c I need that sort of stress reduction - who doesn't?
