Nude

The human body has always been one of the most important motifs in art. In this category, the focus lies on the intentional, aesthetic and respectful photographic representation of the nude or partially covered body. It is not merely about presentation, but about composition, light and form, line, structure, silhouette, posture and atmosphere.

Nude photography is not automatically erotic. Its core lies in the exploration of expression and visual language. Erotic or fetish-oriented motifs also have their place, but in the appropriate subcategories. The key is always a representation that goes beyond the purely personal and reveals a photographic intention, an idea or an artistic concept.

The Nude category includes, among others, the following representations:
• classic full nude
• semi-nude or partial covering
• abstract or minimalistic body representations
• erotic scenes or lingerie photos with a clear photographic concept
• fetish motifs with a creative or staged approach
• thematic images (e.g. naturism, events) if they meet the criteria above
