Do you know what erotic photography is all about? Do you think that it is just as simple as the other arts? Is there a difference between pornography and erotic photography? This article will provide some answers. It will enlighten you and give you an approach into erotic photography.

There have been many definitions about what is erotic and what is art. Defining it can be difficult, particularly since everyone has different perceptions about art and erotica. Generally, it includes work of artistry that has the intention of suggesting erotic arousal and this is the reason why it portrays love making or simliar settings. It can be seen in music, sculptures, drawings, paintings and photographs. It is from this definition that some people misinterpret it as pornography. Bear in mind, that pornography is also identified as inducing erotic arousal because of love making scenes, but it is not art.

In every culture erotic photography has been present. The Paleolithic figures and the paintings in the cave are example of ancient erotic art. Visit Pompeii and witness Greek paintings covering the wrecked walls of Roman structures. In Peru on its southern area of America it has a group of individual known as Moshe that focusing on sculpture explicit scenes in their pottery. The museum Larco that is located in Lima has the complete arcade of erotic ceramics.

Erotic photography is also evident in Eastern cultures. Shunga in Japan showed in the 13th century up to the late 19th century has the old type of art. It continues to achieve popularity until photography was invented. In China, during the Ming dynasty there was much erotic art. In India the Kama Sutra remains very popular still today.

In Europe, the Renaissance included creation of erotica for the amusement of the aristocracy. Poet Pietro Arctino, maker of Marcantonio Raimondi, and Giulio Romano the designer joined together to make woodwork album, carved with text I Modi in the 16th century. These works continued well into the 20th century until photography took center stage. Other publishers such as Taschem came to show their erotic photography.

At present, erotic art remains on the fringes of society however the work is not as recognized as other types of art. There has been great development and growth in this area. Many new methods have been developed like the Impressionism and Realism.

Excellence In Erotic Nude Photography

When most hear the words “Erotic Photography” photos of bare women with no morals taking advantage of themselves for money is what comes to mind. Erotic photography is very much more than this. At its heart, erotic photography is a way to capture the essence of the body, the external beauty, and subtleties that define sensuality and eroticism.

Erotic photography is defined as photographing the nude body in a manner which is artistic and creative. Whereas, we commonly think of porn material as the edgy, degrading, and often trashy images of women, with low moral standards behind it. Many photographers are spend many years refining the art of erotic photography. Some even have award winning erotic photography which features a nude subject. Even the erotic photography models undergo long sessions of training to master their poses and to create the subtle nuances that define their area of work.

Long before magazines like Playboy were ever printed erotic photography was popular. History is filled with examples of erotic art and nude portraits. Because of the controversy, in the 1900’s , those who were skilled in the art of erotic photography were chastised and therefore would take the photos anonymously. Even though sex sites reigns supreme on the internet, it’s still difficult to find true erotic photography, which stands apart from it’s distant relative, porn. With some extensive searching, using choice key phrases like “nude art” and “erotic women” you can find some very good examples of modern erotic photography. These are the people who should be praised for their artistic abilities and talents.

Erotic images have been present in virtually every society in this world. The Paleolithic carvings and cave paintings are an example of very old, but surviving erotic depictions. If you look at the ruins of Pompeii, you’ll see ancient Greek paintings that cover the walls. A country like Peru on the southern part of America had a community known as Moshe which centered on sculpturing explicit scenes into their pottery. Also, the Larco museum in Lima has many types of erotic ceramics and artwork.

The same has also been experienced in Eastern cultures. In Japan, the Shunga appeared from early in the thirteenth century up to late in the nineteenth century. All through, it continued to gain popularity until the invention of photography. In China, it was during the latter years of Ming dynasty that erotic art reached its climax. The Kama Sutra of India continues to enjoy popularity till today.

Glamour Photos, Exotic Photography, Erotic Photography, Artistic Photos

blogger /

There is Glamour Photography and Intimate Glamour Photography. There is Exotic Photography, Celebrity Photography, and Erotic Photography. There is Fashion and Commercial Photography, Model Photography and even Artistic Photography. These are all terms with somewhat distinct meanings but which point at the incredible interest in and consumption of the Female Body in these various forms of its portrayal. When you add the words exotic and erotic to photography, it leans toward the sexual. Then there are also art photos, Artistic Female Photos, perhaps interpretive, sometimes sexual but sometimes focusing on the models soul rather than her body. There are also Pin-up Models and of course, Playboy Models.

I want to try to point out specific differences in photography relating to the correct use of words such as ‘exotic,’ ‘glamour,’ ‘erotic’ and ‘sensual’ here, in particular. The word erotic, for instance, has come into widespread misuse, regarding both erotic photography and even erotic stories. This is partially because of the overuse it has been given on the Internet especially by adult sites. Adult venues have “adopted” the term erotic and used it enough to describe their wares that it has taken on a broader meaning than had ever been ascribed to it in the past. Many adult sites may indeed contain erotic photography but in its true meaning erotic photography does not even necessarily include nude photography. Correctly used, in fact, erotic photography perhaps arouses sexuality but does not necessarily display it.

Naturally, most people believe what they see rather than challenging the definition of a word which may be vague in their understanding anyhow. So when they repeatedly see the words erotic photography attached to graphic sexual content they associate the two things as one in their mind. Erotic Photography could be more correctly describes as “Sensual,” which has more to do with the feelings evoked by a photo rather than the actions depicted in it.

The term “exotic Photography” really has to do with a sense of distance or the unusual. A photo might more logically be called exotic due to the type of unique clothing featured in the photo rather than the models lack of clothing. The model herself may have an exotic look or appearance. Glamour Photography requires a sense of glamour, and a sense of the world as a venue for glamour. Glamour photography may or may not be erotic, exotic or sensual. Glamour photography is about the photographer allowing the model to reach inside herself for the exact expression necessary for the particular feeling which is to be conveyed in the photo.

To summarize, in general, words have a specific meaning. In practice, though, meanings change. Erotic Photography, even erotic stories are meanings in flux. Exotic photography is more distinct and leans toward the unusual. Glamour photography is bringing a sense of the glamorous to the art of photography. It usually results from the unique collaboration of a Glamour photographer with a model able to react from inside herself to convey an idea or feeling within a photograph. Sensual photography is what should be described in the term erotic photography but for the common misuse of the term currently. Erotic photography and erotic stories, correctly used, do not imply prurient sexual activity.
