Fine Art Nude

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.

Creative Nudes

Modern styling and thinking moves beyond the old-fashioned and somewhat static view of the fine art nude photographer. Creative images should have a life, a vivacity, a joie de vivre about them.

Creative nudes can be smiling, joyous images. But of course they may also be serious, mysterious, evocative. They can be provocative, although hopefully not in a “come hither” kind of way.

Creative Glamour

Creative Glamour Photography presents and evokes contemporary sexuality and allure but in new and different ways.

It moves beyond cliché and genre and looks towards expressing modern girls and boys in a modern style that is not all tits and bums - though they play their part.

New Glamour

Glamour photography should represent the subject as available, more than that, ready and willing. The whole thing contains a sexuality and lust that should draw the viewer in.

This does not need to be blatant, often a hint and tease is far more alluring than the full reveal.

Our glamour subjects and locations should present a vision of wealth, fitness, beauty and happiness that the viewer can aspire to and want.

Lighting Designed and Explained

All the lighting setups are fully explained with diagrams that you can use to re-create the setups in your shoots.

The lighting setups can be created using studio flash or speedlites.

Many of the lighting setups are single light only - so easily reproduced. You will also learn how adding a second light adds so much more impact and quality to your images.

Five Star Reviews from Amazon

The author shares a huge amount of inspiration and ideas in a concise recipe book format. Everything here encourages me to take photos now rather than getting bogged down in endless technical details and complex and expensive sets. - Eugene Kazakevicth
