Overview

More than 50 fine art nude images are combined with technical text to demonstrate the techniques photographers need to achieve similar effects. Every step of the creative process is analyzed. Both amateur and experienced photographers can learn to develop concepts for nude images, find the right models, select a location for the shoot, and establish a comfortable environment that will help them and the model work well together. This book shows how to use canvas, paper, blankets, tarps, and even the outdoors as backgrounds and how to vary posing to enhance the composition of the image. A detailed discussion of light illustrates how photographers can manipulate it for special effects or to express a specific mood.
