This is a list of photographers who have been noted for photographing children in the nude, or in an exceptionally arousing style. These include art, photojournalist, commercial, and illustrative photographers. I will divide this list into three levels:
So the levels are good-better-best, Level #1 being the penultimate (to save the best for last!). :)
There was an article posted on altßex.intergen some time back, providing a list of books which contain child nudity, compiled by noted young-girl photographer Ron Oliver. I will indicate with an "*" all photographers which have been added from that list. Generally, my list represents photographers from my own "research", but nonetheless all contributions will be cited.
(This list has been annexed to my "Nudist / Assorted List"...(click here for the YGW List Index).
If there are any other noted photographers which you feel should be added to the list, please don't hesitate to mail me in private! :)
Finally, I will address that this list is intended to engage the non-violent, natural curiosities of YG watchers. I can suggest that the names here be researched at any university or college library in your area. Additionally, your local library may contain some or most of these photographers.
Generally, the call numbers for virtually allbooks by these photographers fall between TR 600-810, from my own experiences as a library page. Look under photographer indexes whenever possible, too; these can provide the ISBN and/or the Library of Congress book catalog numbers for their relevant works.
Also, check out the "Aperture" photography book series for these artists as well; one edition entitled "The Body in Question" had a cogent, mature discussion about the current rage by "well- meaning anti-child pornography" agents interfering in the lives of artists such as Jock Sturges and Rober Mapplethorpe, with examples included in the discussion...
When looking up a photographer, first start with a computer name search. If nothing is recovered, look under a photographers index, as well as annual stock photography collections. It may be harder to find some of the names, but I am certain one of his/ her works will surface.
European photography, especially from Sweden, France, and Germany, tends to be more liberal in how much skin a young girl actually ends up exposing. It appears that American photography, prior to the mid 1980's, occasionally exhibited children either scantily or in the nude, almost as much as European photography could today.
I hope that this list is helpful for the interests of anyone. This list is structured similar to my "YGW's Movie & Ratings List", but without any ratings. But consider all section #1 photographers to be the most relevant of all, and section #2 if you are interested in good alternatives. Enjoy!
[Note: whenever possible, I will note the nationality of the photographer. This is sometimes indicated within the books I have seen so far, but not always. I feel that it wouldn't be too much trouble to find these photographers without knowing their nationality, I hope! Included will be:
If there is nothing in "()"'s after their name, you may assume that the photographer is from the United States...I may be wrong, so feel free to write to me! :)}

It has become very difficult to enjoy the form and beauty of a young girl's lissome, pure body. In an effort to alleviate the anxieties associated by the increased regulations to reduce depictions of the nude child (even in art), I have provided this, and my other lists, to anyone who would like to utilize the present faculties and follow their own natural curiosities.
I hope to add more photographers to this list. All recommendations and comments, either by Usenet or by e-mail, will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your support! :)
Sincerely,
ACE
