Downblouse view

The practice is regarded as a form of sexual fetishism or voyeurism and is similar in nature to upskirting. With the advent of digital photography and camera phones, covert photography of cleavage became popular with some websites becoming dedicated to such photographs.[2][3] A number of American and Australian states and Germany have specific statutes that prohibit such photography.[4]

The ethical and legal issues relating to downblouse photography are also that of upskirt photography.
