My boyfriend is a photographer. He does not shoot nudes, and since it puts me in an uncomfortable position, I don't think he ever would.. However, being a photographer, he comes across nude photos occasionally, and at first, even a little bit of inappropriate skin showing made me uncomfortable, and I've gotten used to a lot of it.. but it still bothers me. I am hugely against porn and everything of that sort. It has nothing to do with my religion... I just cannot stand it. It sickens me physically, emotionally, and any other way possible. I cannot ask him to not be on 500px, which is a photographers website where people share their photos etc., because he loves it. Being a photographer, he loves to see other peoples photography, an artist always loves to see other artists work, and I would never ask him to give up something that he absolutely loves. There are some photos that I've seen that fall under "nude photography" that are somewhat acceptable to me, because you can clearly see the ART to them, and the beauty to them. Others, however, are simply photos of naked girls, perhaps in lingerie, but they are completely inappropriate, and I'm not saying I'm old school. I'm 19 in this generation and it just seems that girls are being exploited and that's not to say that just the photographer seems like a creeper, but what has gotten into these girls nowadays? Why are they willingly putting themselves on the web in a way that comes off as inappropriate? They can call it classy nude photography, but some are just straight up porn.. Some are just unnecessary..
I don't really know what I'm asking but I guess my question would be " What is your take on nude photography vs porn?" and if anybody has been in this situation with their boyfriend or girlfriend.. "How do you better deal with this situation?"
Thanks in advance.
I'm just trying to come to terms with this whole thing. Because I love my boyfriend to death. Been together for 3 years, nearly engaged to be married.. I want him to do what he loves and I have to, somehow, accept that nude photography is a part of the photography world that he is involved with.. I want to be okay with things because it would help so much with my attitude towards this career/hobby he is pursuing. He does wonderful work, none of it geared toward any type of suggestive/nude photography... am I just worrying about nothing? I just need to find some peace of mind, I guess...?
