Today’s Post by Blue Moon Staff
Today people are living longer than ever before, so you never know what might be possible in the future.
“I was told shortly after I started modeling at age 35 not to be hesitant, modest, nor shy, but to take ownership of being naked and being the center of attention for the photographers and artists I would be posing for. It seems to have worked…….no one who knew me growing up would ever have guessed I’d get naked for art and photography in a millions years, although plenty of people told me I ought to become a model when I was in my teens.”
Early photographers imported from painting the terms art nude and figure nude but there really is no one standard nude genre.
One dictionary definition of nude is that it’s “A naked human figure, typically as the subject of a painting, sculpture, or photograph,” while the definition of naked is “(of a person or part of the body) without clothes.” What side of this discussion your personal opinion falls will have some bearing on the style off your intimate portrait.
No matter what form of media an artist prefers to work in, the nude has long been a subject for artists. Photographers, in particular, have been creating images of beautiful women ever since the invention of the photographic process more than 150 years ago.
As an art form, traditional fine art nude photography is a stylized depiction of a person’s nude body with the line and form of the human figure as the primary objective, which is why some people consider an art nude photograph to be a one that studies the human body, rather than the actual person themselves.My own style of nude photography is the mainly glamour nude, a more idealized form of the genre and often the subject is only partially nude and wearing some clothes, as in today’s featured image.
About this portrait: Today’s featured image of Anna was created as a gift for the model’s fiancée.This high key portrait was made of her wearing, mostly, just a smile, shoes and a an a lingerie jacket that she brought to the shoot. A Wafer HexOval 100 softbox was attached with a Balcar speed ring to a Paul C Buff DigiBee 800 monolight that was was placed at camera right and fairly close to Anna. A Paul C Buff Alien Bee, without a reflector was placed low and at camera left, behind her. The setting was the doorway to my home studio
