Bad Dari! No taco! <g>

Okay: there *are* cultural norms of beauty. And a vast number of the women posing for these pictures do not have slim abs and hips, large breasts, and Breck girl hair.

I still think that the quality of a photographer's work has much to do with whether or not the subject is 'beautiful'. The choice of shooting a woman raised five feet off the ground in a suspension harness from eye level means you get a lot of fat dangling and the camers sees it. Binding the body means that ropes pull around the frame of the body, and everything suffers. The subject's posture is enormously important, and without an experienced model or photographer, what you get is unflattering.

If you got head shots of the women in the photos oon the Favorite Phots thread over in General Talk, about 80% wouild pass muster for even the harshest critics. Allow them to be photographed by an experienced photographer with Playboy credits on his resume, and you lose what... another 20%?

Amatuer photographers, bad lighting, and poor choice of camera position are a large part of what decides if the subject's beauty can be found.

Cheer up, Manwhore-- plenty of nude Lara Croft pictures in the sea.
