Why nude is Art ?!... For a French native like me, it's obvious, genetic, and so clear. In France, Nudity is Art since so many centuries. And if someone is not yet sure about that, just admire these fantastic and powerful photographs created by the great A.J. Kahn with the wonderful art model Mandjohio.
"Atlas Remake"" During my years of photographing the nude, I have explored many approaches to this diverse subject. For purposes of this online portfolio, I have created a collection of images that I feel, celebrates the profound beauty of the human form.
"Balance"" I acknowledge that subjective tastes make it impossible to define universal beauty. My efforts therefore, are simply to present those images that have strongly impacted me.
"Of Shapes"" Included in the collection are some images that depict the body as an abstract landscape. Devoid of human qualities, light and shadow are used to emphasize the basic elements of texture and form.
Other images are more cerebral representations that recognize the subject as a person. Several works that demonstrate a sense of power, self-assuredness and harmony are juxtaposed with others that show tension, passivity and insecurity. In all, the essence of human emotion is explored.
"Motion"" From simple appreciation of pure esthetic beauty to unveiling layers of an individuals soul, few subjects in photography offer such diversity as the nude.
It has been an enlightening journey for me in these artistic efforts.
My hope is that the viewer will have a similar appreciation for the beauty of this powerful subject." A.J. Kahn
