Photographer Who Took Kim K's Nude Pics Insists 'They Are Art' & He's 'Proud Of Them'

Jean-Paul Goude, a legendary French photographer, who took the ‘Break the Internet’ full frontal nude pictures of Kim Kardashian insisted on Thursday that 'they are art’ and he is 'very proud of them'.  He told a close colleague in Paris: ‘I am very proud of what they represent – yes there is meant to be humour in the pictures, but above all they are very artistic’. Mr Goude, 74, has not granted any formal interviews since the publication of the pictures because he ‘wants to remain humble', said Virginie Laguenes, who works with the photographer.
