New blog

I have been meaning to start a blog dedicated to my art nude work for far too long but here it is at last (thanks for the prod Holly). I will be showing a mix of earlier and new work and will be sharing some info on how the shoots were done, and why. For many shooting art nude is an expensive hobby, but for me it is for 2 reasons.

Firstly this work really helps my portrait commission work, even for clothed clients as the lighting and posing is more of a challenge working with a nude, this is not dissimilar to life drawing helping an artist working with pencil, paint or clay. This has the added benefit as many individual have a secret passion to be photographed naked but may be too shy or scared to suggest it, having a portfolio of tasteful images helps break down these reservations.

And secondly some of the works are offered for sale as prints as I live in the world where I need to make a living - and its good to share my work with folk that are prepared to pay for it.

To kick off here is an old favorite that has been rather successful in print sales, in competitions and general public response. Shot 2 years ago locally to my home with professional Model KatyT.
