This is the society that we live in. This is the climate of judgment and shame that you encounter when you share images of human nudity as art.nnIt's punishable for you to share images from classic works of art or a figure drawing class or even a mother breastfeeding her child. Censorship on Facebook is just a reflection of the bigger battle you face when you draw, paint or photograph a naked human being.nnWe do not create this body of art to shock, offend, or arouse a mindless lust. We create so that all of us may come to see our shared humanity as a miraculous work of art.nnWhat do you think? Is your naked body obscene? Is it a crime to share artistic images of naked humanity?nReclaim your experience of human beauty!nnChrista MaiernEditorial Directornn––– Video Script by David Bollt –––nnYour human body … is not a crime.nnIt’s absurd for your naked body to be hidden behind censorship squares in order for it to be seen. It’s absurd to think of your naked humanity as something unnatural… It’s absurd to think of you (exactly as you are) as anything less that a true work of art.nnYour body has been shaped by the same creative dynamics that shaped the world. Your body has come from the same collective ground as the trees and the flowers that you see shining all around you... as they stand naked … and without shame.nnYour body has come from the same collective ground as the sun … and the moon … and the stars.nThe entire universe has acted in concert — from the beginning — to create the conditions for you to be here… exactly as you are.nnThe only thing that is obscene — in the contemplation of your naked humanity — is the idea that you’re somehow obscene. The only thing that is perverted about celebrating human beauty as a work of art is the idea … that you should be ashamed to either enjoy beauty in others … or to be held as beautiful … in the eyes of others.nnWhether you believe that you’ve been been shaped by the conscious hand of god... or by the random self-organizing properties of a creative universe... either way, is it not miraculous that you’re even here? Is it not a miracle that there’s a human body through which you’re experiencing your life... right now?nnWake up from the collective hypnosis that tells you that your naked humanity should be shamed or hidden from sight. Wake up from the hypnosis that would have you ashamed of appreciating the beauty of another human being.nnWake up from the hypnosis that tells you (and has you telling yourself) that you are anything less than a miraculous work of art.nnYou have the capacity to hold an infinite number of perspectives. And with the perspectives that you choose, you shape the world.nnWhat perspectives do you choose in relation to your own naked humanity? How do you choose to see yourself and others?nnAt Model Society, we invite you to reclaim your experience of human beauty. We invite you to see humanity through our eyes as something beautiful, wondrous and extraordinary. Without censorship and without shame, we invite you to celebrate and enjoy the miracle of the human form as a true work of art.nnTo support our vision, please share this video, then go directly to ModelSociety.com to get on the list. We’ll send you a free issue of Model Society magazine that’s filled with images of humanity that are beautiful, inspiring, revealing … and honest.nn––– MODELING PHOTOGRAPHY AND ART BY –––nnBalm in Gilead Art Photography, Thomas Holm Photography, Boris Mirkin / Kaos, Michele Fatarella, Glyn Davies, Laura Dasi, Pablo, Chuck, RuthAnn, Jason Matson, Andrey Stanko, Pavel Ryzhenkov, Sasha Onyshchenko, Eldiyar Daniyarov, Lavender Moon, Sven Ellirand, Ivory Flame, Schotzart, Alex B., Moniasse, Studio Phap, John McNairn, Patrick Webster, Arshae Morningstar, Matthew Scherfenberg, Dennis Largo Schulz, Eric Boutilier-Brown, Christopher Ryan, Cheshire Scott, Raphaella, Bill Earle, AJ Kahn, DML, RAS1, Tim Pile, Terry King, Pascal Renoux, Meghan Meredith, Abandoned Dream, Raphaella McNamara, Jean Jacques Andre, Blue River Dream, Michael Bilotta, Brooke Lynne, Rosa Brighid, Cam Attree, Kevin Stiles, Lorelei Black, Dr Colin Vickers, Elizaveta Kiseleva, Horacio Vásquez, Trinh Xuan Hai, LuLu Lockhart, Karen Jones, Maria Diaz, Ben Ernst, Vinny M., Axiaelitrix, NevaehLleh, Magicc Imagery, Michael V.
