Fine Art photography means many things to many people, so I'm going to give you my definition.

 

Fine Art Nude photography follows in the footsteps of traditional artistic and aesthetic sensibilities.  While it may have a modern, twenty first century approach it should still be on those same guiding lines that go back through the centuries.

 

For me the defining part of a fine art nude photograph is a love and admiration and wonder in the shape and form of the nude figure.   This may be a whole figure in a pictorial setting or a abstract composition of body parts with no context.

 

I strongly believe that fine art nudes should not be sexual.  Although nude, the figure should not present an object of desire.  Instead the focus is on graphical presentation of something wonderful.

 

The nude does not need to be female, but it nearly always is.  My personal view is that humans are hard-wired to find the curves and shapes of the female form appealing.  Sadly for us men, we mostly look a bit silly when naked.

Featuring three professional models and an accompanying DVD series for a more in-depth look at the photographic process this is a perfect, inspirational guide.
