Beyond nudity. What makes a stunning work of art?

THE INSPIRED PHOTOGRAPH

Thoughts and video from JOEL BELMONT on working with models to create great works of art

At Model Society, we post artistic images of humanity.

A lot of photographers send “sexy” photos that don’t quite qualify (for us) as art. We decline as many member applications as we approve.

So people ask us all the time…

“What makes an image a work of art?”

It’s not easy to explain … how great art reveals our collective human experience. It can portray hopes fears, beauty, sexuality and everything else that makes us human.

It’s not easy to explain … that nudity as art can transcend and include sexuality. While there’s no denying that many images at Model Society are “sexy”, they also illuminate and respect the humanity of the models.

Beyond just “sexy”, Model Society celebrates the full range of humanity. We welcome a diversity of shapes, sizes and colors. We embrace the entire spectrum of the human experience.

And that’s why we are sharing this wonderful video by Joel Belmont, to help us explain.

Joel is a teacher and experienced photographer, whose thoughtful approach to nude art embodies much of why we created Model Society in the first place.

If you are a model, photographer or artist, or a fan of human beauty …

Thanks for believing in human beauty as art.

Enjoy!

Editor and cover artist of our 2nd magazine issue: Joel Belmont

Joel Belmont has spent over 20 years pushing the boundaries of the photographic medium. The themes in his work pursue spiritual narratives – contrasting what’s perceived with the five senses, against the unseen metaphysical realities of life that lay beneath the surface. As spiritual qualities are not something one can observe with the eye, his work employs visual metaphor and symbolism to hint at underlying truths and questions of the human condition, with the possibility of transcending it.
