I have frequently been pleased by the writing in this journal, but today I am particularly impressed by your writing here. This passage is particularly impressive:

« In this way, de Dienes’ work helped form a kind of visual bridge between the performative world of glamour photography and the lived experience of naturism. His models were often idealized, but they were not objectified. They were agents of their own presence, posed but not passive, and often photographed in wild or sacred landscapes that suggested liberation, not voyeurism. »

This is clarity of nuance!

Bravo!!!

Regards,

Thomas

The photos our fathers enjoyed but our mothers weren't liberated enough to enjoy or accept them.

Great article. I was unaware of his contributions to social nudism.

Do you guys think anything like this would be possible today?

Like, a mainstream photographer or model embrace naturism?

I believe it'd do wonders for us, if famous people we know have been to nude beaches (Marion Cotillard, Heide Klum and many more that got topless) just openly talked about it.

I like the way the photographer offers us his work despite the predominantly feminine side.
