f) Light & Composition is strongly against any sort of nudity, as we believe nudity in the name of artistic photography is not an art form but offensive and a poor use of artistic expression, which does not only inspire voyeurism and pornography amongst young people, but also inspires them to follow the wrong steps. Furthermore, we do not publish profile links that contain this sort of work or any sort of glamour photography, glamour-nude, and fashion photography.
