>Sounds to me as if he knew this would cause trouble. Just guessing, but part of his schtick seems to be to create *news* for himself
So he talks a girl
into getting arrested
and getting naked.
Instead of pictures,
this guy should be writing books
on how to get girls...

I suspect she was drawn to the idea of creating a stir as well. If that’s the sort of girl you want to attract...

Someone’s comment on the linked site says, “Not guilty.” LOL!

The most offensive thing about that site is that it automatically resized my browser window.

Definitely not guilty.
So would it have been so difficult to call the gallery and get permission? They close a single door for a half-hour or they give you after-hours access and you're done. No, it has to be public...well, even in a place like that, it can be a problem.
The point in this isn't the pix, which, incidentally, are pretty good if a little uninspired. It's pressing the envelope and then acting innocent when you get the reaction you're expecting. The guy had bail money in his pocket, f'Petessake. She's not guilty, he's definitely not innocent.

His work is boring. I have little respect for lazy photographers who think they’re edgy or talented just by photographing nudes.

Why can’t we just stick to something nice/normal/natural like violence or depictions of violence? That’s something we can all agree is worthwhile to look at and depict.
This naked human body thing is just pushing the envelope too far I think. There’s nothing natural about it. This artist is going to injure someone permanently if he isn’t stopped.

"There are nude sculptures and paintings all over the museum. It's the height of stupidity accusing a live model of showing the same thing in a house of art." Aye Matey, and there's the rub! LOL!

She looks like she got rescued from a desert island — about a week after the rations ran out.

Looks like ART to ME! I don't know about ART. But I know what I like.
