Local photographer, Ross Underwood, has today published his book on ‘The Art of the Nude for Camera Enthusiasts”
Nude Photographer is lavishly illustrated throughout with the great works from artists and photographers from across the ages.
It has a lively narrative to give you some background information without tying you up in jargon. Nude Photographer also includes some of the author’s own work and explains how he got into nude photography.
There is a practical chapter on how to capture naked beauty yourself with everything you need to know about working with models, what equipment you need, and what lighting to use for the best results.
The nude has always been controversial and the book attempts to address some of the contemporary issues that it raises. If you are ready to look at the nude from a different angle, this book is for you.
The human form is potentially the most awe-inspiring and meaningful subject that we can photograph. Let us go beyond merely judging nude works for their erotic value and delight in the beauty of the subject.
Birds have feathers and mammals sport fur, but human bodies give us glimpses of the workings of the extraordinary natural machine that carries us through our everyday.
In skilled hands the nude tells human stories with all the drama and poignancy they bring. This book celebrates these stories as created by the greatest minds in the history of art and photography.
Nude Photographer contains:
•35 x Great Nude works in painting and sculpture
•18 x Gorgeous Nude photographs
•55 x Live Links to other great pieces
•29 x The Author’s own photographs
•Practical tips for you to capture beautiful Nude images
Some people think of the Nude as just the female of the species, but this book attempts to be even-handed with the choice of male /female subjects, and male /female artists.
The book can be foundon Amazon and will be free from tomorrow for five days.
