The Origins of Erotic Nude Photography (1840's to 1900)

October 7, 2024

When it comes to the 19th century, the world of art completely changed as photography was invented. Of course, the birth of photography and the origins of erotic nude photography also begin, which makes the 19th century quite a big deal for everyone who loves erotic art.

Influence of Early Erotic Photography

For aspiring artists back in the 1800s, erotic photography was not as accepted as it is today.

Less is more with black and white

While Bero does use color in some of his photographs, the majority of his work has it completely stripped. The ones that still preserve some color do so to display the beautiful contrast that his art is known for. By stripping away color, he shifts the focus to essential elements such as texture, form, and light.
