One obvious distinction is that one is a photograph, being cited as
evidence that a certain act is possible.  The other is a drawing,
serving as an example of a genre of drawing.

(And it's not really clear to me that the model in the photograph is
having a whole heap of fun.  He's a porn actor; he's paid to do that,
whether he gets a nasty crick in his back from it or not.  Plus he looks
as if he's about to burst a blood vessel either in his forehead or his
... somewhere else.)
