Glamour Photographer
Glamour photography is a genre of photography in which the subjects are portrayed in erotic poses ranging from fully clothed to nude. The term may be a euphemism for erotic photography. For glamour models, body shape and size are directly related to success. This type of photography is known as "cheesecake" or "pin-up" for women and "beefcake" for men. Since glamour photography can include nudity, the distiction between this and softcore pornography is largely a matter of taste, although depictions of sexual contact are not considered within this genre and an important differentiator between it and pornography. Glamour photography is generally a composed image of a subject in a still position. The subjects of glamour photography for professional use are often professional models, and the photographs are normally intended for commercial use, including mass-produced calendars, pinups and men's magazines such as ''Maxim''; but amateur subjects are also sometimes used, and someti ...

Art And Photography (magazine)
Art is a diverse range of human activity, and resulting product, that involves creative or imaginative talent expressive of technical proficiency, beauty, emotional power, or conceptual ideas. There is no generally agreed definition of what constitutes art, and its interpretation has varied greatly throughout history and across cultures. In the Western tradition, the three classical branches of visual art are painting, sculpture, and architecture. Theatre, dance, and other performing arts, as well as literature, music, film and other media such as interactive media, are included in a broader definition of the arts. Until the 17th century, ''art'' referred to any skill or mastery and was not differentiated from crafts or sciences. In modern usage after the 17th century, where aesthetic considerations are paramount, the fine arts are separated and distinguished from acquired skills in general, such as the decorative or applied arts. The nature of art and relat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

World Without Shame
''World Without Shame'' is a 1962 British naturist film directed by Donovan Winter and starring Yvonne Martell. Plot After winning on the football pools, a group of young people leave London to begin a new, carefree, naturist life on a deserted Mediterranean island. Cast * Yvonne Martell * Larry Bowen * Diane Valeri * Jean Robert * Laurel Grey * Paul Christian * Laura Beaumont * Michael Troy Critical reception ''Monthly Film Bulletin'' said "From the naturist standpoint, this nudist film is much like any other, if a trifle less eventful and duller than usual. The most intriguing feature to the unconverted onlooker is the reasons advanced for the party's enterprise: escape from commercialism and the establishment, freedom from conventions, escape from nuclear hazards.
