 Australian photographer Bill Henson is sometimes controversial, because he frequently photographs nude teenagers. I guess a few of those photos are a bit edgy. The majority of his photos are benign portraits of humans in a confusing transitional period in their lives. A lot of mixed physical and emotional feelings. I'm not overly fond of his images. Most of them are too underexposed. Here are five that I kind of like. CW: Nudity     5 comments
@contrinitiator From reading the several articles I found, I got the impression that only a few were legitimately controversial. They showed naked teenagers having sex. If I saw any of those images, they were not explicit. With those sorts of photos you run into the problem of photographer's intent. Is he documenting real life, or is he trying to arouse sexual feelings in the viewer?  @nakedmolerat Well it's a known problem of art at the border of pornography. I believe the viewer's perception plays a bigger role here.  @nakedmolerat@body.social я же правильно понимаю, что, по сути, все сервера, у которых сфедерировалась эта запись, имеют в бд фотографии голых подростков? @nakedmolerat@body.social (естественно, если кэширование медиа на серверах отключено, то и проблем нет) |

@nakedmolerat The photos you selected I liked very much. I don't see anything extreme, just good sincere portraits.
