Nude Portraiture
Nude portraiture photography is an adaptation of the time-honored techniques used by painters and sculptors. Using light we enhance your natural form to capture a strong emotion in the viewer. Artistic nudes, done in a classic style, are captivating. Showing the beauty and grace that only the human form is capable of conveying. The primary objective is to present the human form in a way that is aesthetically pleasing and yet invokes a familiar and natural response in the viewer. I specialize in working with people who have not posed nude before, but are adventurous and willing grow as a person. Often, the session is a gift from a husband, a lover, or as a gift for someone else - but I also have clients who just want to capture that fleeting beauty that we all know will fade as the years go by.
"In art the nude body represents honesty, innocence, and purity. Those who find it shameful, vile or sinful have only their own thoughts to blame."-- unknown |
"The nude is classic, timeless, elemental, primal, and universal. Because we are all creatures of our own nakedness, it is the subject of ultimate empathy. And yet in the hands of an artist, that fleeting, imperfect, and fragile package that carries all of our souls gains a noble immortality and perfection that transcends its mere physicality." - Metropolitan Museum of Art (online).
