On Nude Photography

Many links in this post go to images which are definitely not safe for work!

I like to think that I am neither a prude nor a sex maniac; that I can appreciate both the erotic and the sensual in art. To me "nude photography" is very much on the sensual side of that scale, a delight for the visual sense but not providing the titillation of the erotic. It is about form, lighting, and the presentation of the human form. As humans we find the human form beautiful, aesthetically and sexually attractive, but I think we've lost our way somewhere between the two.

Lighting Practice

Flash on bedside table pointed at silver reflector on ceiling. Manual focus, self-timer, camera tethered to laptop, tighter crop, some post-processing. There are more on Flickr, but the photos in the set are marked "moderate" so you'll need to be a registered Flickr user to see them.
