“A portrait is not a likeness. The moment an emotion or fact is transformed into a photograph it is no longer a fact but an opinion. There is no such thing as inaccuracy in a photograph. All photographs are accurate. None of them is the truth.” Richard Avedon
Art is beautiful and the guiding principle of Artistic Nude Photography is beauty and power.
The showcase of the human body in a way where its strength, character, erotic features and even weaknesses are captured in the most pleasing of way, elevating the stature of the model is the very principle of Artistic Nude Photography creating content which is pleasing yet controversial, beautiful yet sensual.

Nude figure work has also been a primary theme in photography since its inception.
