additional Ch. 4 Questions from Lauren

From an objective look per say the nude body is a natural form, but can be viewed as pleasurable under any circumstance (pornographic, artistic, medically). This being said, there is so much conflict when it comes to viewing the adult nude body, would you view Jock Sturges or Sally Mann's work on the same level (as pleasure) or would you consider it different, why or why not?

In addition, would you view photographing the nude body (male or female) a perverse use of photography or have we become too uncomfortable with our bodies as suggested by Mikhail Bakhtin on pg. 173?
