We explore a variety of issues with artist and academic Matthew Hamon. There are many types of photography: casual, artistic, erotic, pornographic, artistic, clinical, commercial, scientific, etc… What is the difference? Is nude photography pornography? Is the image of a nude child indecent? What is consent? What if people misuse your image? What are the implications of a naked picture of yourself on the internet?
