This Photographer Doesn’t Understand How Nude Photos Work

Trevor Christensen is a nude photographer. Literally. And not in that stupid Rob Lowe on Parks & Rec "literally" way. He's nude when he photographs people. His photos may not be the sexiest things ever, but they're interesting conversation pieces, that's for sure.

Now, he's no sexist. He'll photograph men and women in the buff. Lord knows what else he's going to photograph nude. Jezebel (link below) brought him to our attention, and they also provided us with this appropriately artsy excuse for why he's doing this.

The photographer/subject paradigm is one of inequality. Nude Portraits is about leveling the playing field in an unorthodox way. Instead of focusing on bringing the subject to a place of ease, where I am, this project brings me to a place of vulnerability.

This vulnerability is achieved by making portraits without clothing. These are nude portraits in the sense that I, the photographer, am nude, while the subject is not.
