Olympia Nelson

Olympia Nelson (born 1997) is the Australian daughter of fine arts photographer Polixeni Papapetrou and art critic Robert Nelson who writes for the Australian newspaper The Age. She is currently completing a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in English & Theatre Studies and Art History. She has attracted media attention twice: once for her nude modeling for fine art photography as a six years old child on the cover of the fine arts journal Art Monthly Australia in a fine arts photograph taken by her mother which was criticized by the then Prime Minister of Australia and once for the publication of her article criticizing teenage girls who seek social networking popularity by posting sexualized selfies.

Olympia was six years old when she was photographed nude by her mother for fine art photography purposes. After some years the photo recreating Lewis Carroll's photograph of a nude Beatrice Hatch was published on the cover of the fine arts journal Art Monthly Australia, as a form of protest against the police confiscation of fine arts photographs by fine art photographer Bill Henson, depicting nude children who had modeled in his studio with their mothers' consent.

The photograph of Olympia nude caused responses by the Australian state, with the then Federal Opposition Leader Brendan Nelson calling for a police investigation because the arts journal's cover photograph could be used by paedophiles and the then Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd stating that he "cannot stand the image", while the then Federal Family Minister Jenny Macklin said that "children were being sexualized in ways that robs them of a childhood" and the then Federal Arts Minister Peter Garrett criticized the journal's cover saying it was "needlessly provocative" and announced that the Australian Government would call the Australian Council to set up a set of rules over the use of children in works of art and publications that receive government funding.
