The model is now facing charges of public lewdness though attorney accurately points out that the museum is full of nude art, and to call what the model and the photographer obscene is ridiculous.

The photographer, Zach Hyman (insert peals of laughter here), who directed the shoot, has been getting a fair amount attention around New York recently for his tendency to photograph nude models on subway.

Hyman insists that he’s inspired by nude paintings (what hymen wouldn’t be?), and that his photos are not pornographic.

Since the photographer is getting all of the press and none of the charges, sounds like he hit a marketing gold mine to me.
