Do you think Hensons new work is art or soft porn?
Theyre kinda similar to his other recent work... I really like his photos but they make me feel kinda uneasy
Maybe thats the point? I dunno...

what about them comes off as soft porn to you? i didn't think of it as porn because they didnt seem sexually suggestive at all (Which is how i guess i'd classify porn) , except that one picture where she has the bottle and whatever is in it is like poured on her body, but yaa i was jw what made you uneasy about it :)

Nah I didn't mean soft porn literally.. I've met him and he's a really intellegent guy and I love his work I just meant
In relation to his other works - his tendency to photograph young vulnerable looking males and females! It gives me the creeps but his photos are always beautiful

ooo ok yeah that makes sense :p

I like the way they are slightly out of focus, it adds to the dream quality about them, as if you're moving fast. They make me uneasy in that way, but not because of the nakedness.

old works were really good..his art of nudity never disturb me..
