I like some of the shots in this set -- not all -- but it's a good example of artful nude photography. I also like some of the shots in the other set you showed, which included photographer interaction. Nothing wrong with that. The photographer and model obviously have a relationship that enables that kind of work. Okay by me. And it's beautifully depicted in the photography.
