I have recently had some interaction with an artist that I follow. I will not name the artist, because it's not important. The artist does artistic nude photography, and he always responds to comments regarding his models (whether the comments are positive or not) by saying 'it's about the photography'. I understand why he says that, because the photo is HIS art - the focus, framing, lighting, etc. I also understand that, when the photographer submits the work, and not the model, comments should be directed to the photographer.
HOWEVER, I see this turning into a sort of a contradiction of itself, a real mess. Why do you ask? Well
