The Shadows + Echoes series explores familiar concepts in horror photography, sharing the most striking of dA's dark and disturbing images to inspire your own macabre art.
If you are offended or upset by the use of fake blood, gore effects or staged violence in art I advise you not to read on. You have been warned!

reports, 2d 6h agoHey everyone,
Well its time again for one of my feature news articles, this time its the turn of the artistic nude. I think all these photos are awesome and really show more than you can see. They show emotions. Thats what i think make an artistic nude. Anyone can take their top off and call it art but to make it artistic you need more than that and i think all these photos have that, i hope you all agree. Enjoy!

Celebrating Male Nudes (MC)
`MissShyly
reports, July 30, 2007
reports, July 30, 2007So, here's the thing. I think men are beautiful. I don't think enough people are able to see that. I hear people talk all the time about how male nudes are ugly, about how men's bodies aren't beautiful the way women's are. I call bullshit. I say, people think that because they don't see enough art that celebrates masculinity.
I'm posting here some of what I think are the most beautiful nude photographs of men that I've come across on dA. I invite you to show me the hidden treasures you have found (or created yourself) as well.
First and foremost I have to feature ^arachnid15, my fellow Gallery Director for the art nude photography gallery, and a long-time advocate for the celebration of the male form.
A little sampling of his gallery is below. I strongly urge you to spend some time looking through all that he has posted. It is well worth the effort.
*sitamae has to be included, of course. *grin*
*vidi has one of the most compelling collections of work featuring men that I have ever seen. The way he sees the male body continually delights and surprises me.
And, finally, an assortment of awesomeness:

Male nudes need more recognition. I think the way they are shaped is beautiful.

Friday night in the Kingdom of Dooooooom.
That's a really beautiful collection there.

°° Too Weird To Live, And Too Rare To Die °°
And I for myself do my very best to take good erotic and nude male shoots
that's a promise!!
I hope I can keep it,although it's very difficult to find men who don't have a problem with being photographed nude in an artistic way and then being shown in an internet-gallery like deviantART.
maybe that's just a german problem or just mine, I don't know
Just to say it with James (from "Dinner for one") "Well,I'll do my very best"

Sunlight coming through the haze.
I agree, I think that people see a naked man as vulger and ugly.
I do not think this is true.

I think it's well about time that the male nudes got more recognition.
Great article!
