All the photos are about the same girl who appeared at the Hengshan Road, the Bund and Xintiandi (literally meaning New Earth and Sky) of Shanghai. Today, a man who claimed him as the author of these photos issues an apology letter. He says he is a student of a foreign art school who studies human body photography. He shot these photos when he returned to Shanghai this summer. He originally posted these photos on a private forum. Someone who saw these photos posted them widely on the internet. He clarified that he shot these photos to challenge Chinese traditional concepts and morality. At last, he claims that he didn’t plan to cause a spur and he already deleted photos on the forum. According to some lawyers, the man who shot these photos and those who spread them widely on the internet have committed the crime of spreading pornography and obscenity. This man reminds me of a famous Chinese photography forum. It once had a sub-forum on human body photography. Those enthusiasts of human body photography share their photos there in order to receive comments from others. Unfortunately, the sub-forum was closed after China has launched nation-wide actions to combat pornography and obscenity on the internet.

Hello, what if it happened with your wife, daughter or mother. Do u still enjoy it? U don't tell me it doesn't challenge western values. It is under big brother's watch in the west as well. Here is no judge at all. It is probably the source of living of someone who has no other choice. It's really really awful that you initiate this with such a statement of title. You are getting used to it, fine that's your choice of living status as an individual. I am wondering what the hell of percentage that westerner would like your mom, daughter or wife standing out on the street naked? Lonely, the header of this thread confuses the whole world not just Chinese.

Maria,

I just translated his words into English. He writes in his apology letter that he shot these photos to challenge tradtional Chinese concepts and morality. According to traditional Chinese concepts, it's inappropriate to be naked in public. It humiliates not only yourself but also those who see your naked body.

To some people, human body photos are one expression of art. They think that naked human bodies are beautiful. However, human body photography is definitely a taboo to traditional Chinese.

Those naked models also believe that naked body is beautiful. They just show its beauty and the photographer shows it to the public. Ordinary girls wouldn't choose to be naked models. They just regard it as pornography.
