i have no problem with nudity as an art form in general. as long as it's in good taste and the intent isn't sexual arousal/stimulation, and the focus is on physique, the pose, the emotion, or something else, it's all good.
in regards to my own self-portraits, i have posed nude or semi-nude in the past; but i'm not really into baring the "naughty bits" (especially the lower half...which i probably won't ever show, as a personal rule); and -- if i'm topless -- i usually pose in such a way that the girls are noticeable; but still somewhat covered. (or i've just cropped it out.)
for this shot...well...i'm showing slightly more than i'm used to, trying to get thatmuch braver. but i'm not quite there yet.
no flash on purpose. inspired by
