Published under the title Allegro Sensible in Germany, The Art of Nude Photography is already a best-seller throughout Europe. Now available for the first time in English, this beautiful oversized volume presents over 160 duotone images of sensuous and sublime female nudes by up-and-coming photographer Pascal Baetens. According to photographer Jeff Dunas, "Baeten's work reveals energy, a discipline, and a love of his subject. Baeten's photography has that essential 'something' - you either have it, or you don't. You can't learn it. That special 'something' is the ability to truly reach your subject - create a vision, and have complete complicity with the object you are photographing." Includes over 150 sublime examples of this up-and-coming photographer's work.

More than 70 notable photographers are presented, including Peter Basch, Bill Brandt, Elliott Erwitt, Milton H. Greene, and others."--Amazon.

Fully Exposed is a pioneering cultural history of the photography of the male nude which sets the photographer and the model within our cultural and historical perceptions and prejudices. This second edition extends the book's coverage so that the story from the beginnings of the medium to the present day is complete. Fully Exposed is lavishly illustrated with over two hundred and fifty photographs,many of them new to this edition. Different chapters discuss how the male nude has been used by artists, the way it has been treated in the popular press,in relation to British colonialism and scientific ideology. It also discusses `private pictures' taken at home or acquired as erotic material by the private collector. A final chapter brings the book up-to-date and discusses the male nude in the nineties. The combination of art criticism and photographic essay make this an unusual and important book both for academics and the general reader.
A Step-by-Step Guide to Recruiting Beautiful Models, Lighting, Photographing Nudes, Post-Processing Images, and Maybe Even Getting Paid to Do It. (third edition) Prior experience with nude models is not required to benefit from this how-to guide. This guide can be enjoyed by anyone, but is written for two main audiences: the accomplished photographer wanting insight from a peer, and the serious amateur wanting a guided introduction to the field. The female body has been an inspiration for artists since before the invention of photography. Naturally, nudes were one of the first subjects of photography as well. Although the guide covers the basics of nude photography, it is assumed that you have a digital camera that is more advanced than a point-and-shoot and that you already understand the basics of operating your camera. This book deals with female models. You won't find male models or advice on photographing non-models in this book. Finding Models: Nude photography entails more than just photographic technique, there is a huge interpersonal element; much more so than in any other kind of people photography. The guide addresses everything from finding models, to working with them long term. Most guides on photographic technique assume you've already found a willing model. This one assumes that you're having trouble - or at least having trouble finding a model that you feel takes your work to the next level. It contains techniques for finding and recruiting models. Techniques: A range of processes are explained step-by-step. You'll find more than just a selection of photos and a dissection of each; you'll see full lighting diagrams as well as frank discussions of techniques and pitfalls in the days and weeks leading up to making a nude image. From finding your first nude model to selling your first nude photo, the guide presents complete, concise instruction on lighting, posing, and-post processing with Photoshop.
Learn to light, pose, and photograph the human form--and create beautiful, expressive fine art photographs. Capturing the nude human form has been a part of photography almost since the medium's inception, and it remains one of the most empowering and liberating challenges that the medium offers. Though the subject is, by definition, straightforward--the human form is the ultimate blank canvas--the photographic options are limitless as you strive to create a beautiful, elegant, and expressive photograph. At the same time, with such simple subject matter, there is nowhere to hide. Poor lighting and ineffective posing will show. If you have no concept to explore or story to tell, it will show. Whether you're curious about conducting your first fine art nude shoot or you're a seasoned photographer who wants to vastly improve your lighting and posing skills, photographer and author Lindsay Adler will teach you how to infuse artistry and technique into your visual capture of the nude form. In Fine Art Nude Photography, Lindsay teaches you all about: - Shoot concepts: Find inspiration and develop a story for your shoot, and learn to avoid the "cringe factor" that can result when working without focus or intention - Models: Find models to work with, understand proper etiquette, and navigate model releases - Posing: Learn the posing fundamentals for the nude form, plus five essential poses you need to know - Lighting: Master the art of sculpting and defining the human form with light and shadow Throughout the book, you'll also hear directly from professional fine art nude models so that you can understand their needs, how to conduct yourself, and how to better collaborate to ensure a successful shoot. Finally, Lindsay includes ten complete shoots where, from start to finish, she shares her thought process behind each shoot, including concept, lighting, posing, retouching, and final selections.
