Further information: Depictions_of_nudity#InformationalNude photography is used for valid scientific and educational purpose, such as ethnographic studies, human physiology, and sex education. Here the emphasis is not on the beauty or eroticism of the picture but on the subject and technical purpose for which the image was produced.
The nude image may be used for analysis or to accompany medical or other text books, scientific reports, articles or research papers. They are essentially of an illustrative nature, and so nude photographs of this type are often labeled to show key features in a supporting context.

“The motive of science was the extension of man, on all sides, into Nature, till his hands should touch the stars, his eyes see through the earth, his ears understand the language of beast and bird, and the sense of the wind; and, through his sympathy, heaven and earth should talk with him. But that is not our science.”
