Bill Henson is a contemporary Australian art photographer who saw controversy after his artworks were seized in 2008 after complaints surfaced of "child porn" alligations. Henson was known for depicting adolescents in their stages of growth which included various photographs of young teenagers being photographed nude. Despite this controversy, i personally think that Hensons artworks are amazing, however i also believe that he did cross the line in many ways. I really like his sense of lightness and darkness within his images and the simplicity of his works while having elaborate meaning behind them.
