I do not quite see where the different points of view are going, or if indeed they are really altogether that different. The major theme seems to be mutual respect between the photographer and the model, and between each of them and the viewers and commenters of the photo. Certainly it is possible for the photographer to create a noteworthy image showing no respect, or even disdane, for the model. We certainly have many examples of the viewers having no respect for either the model or the photographer. Guess one could find examples of excellent photos with all the possible combinations here. The choices come down to how we want to see ourselves in the mirror, and reflect others in ourselves, (how's that for confusion!). I suspect though, that we are usually much happier with the results when there is mutual respect.
