Naked Portrait
& Nude 2010+
This work is being photographed with 10x8" large format film cameras. These cameras are used with a 36cm Voigtlander Heliar lens. A Voigtlander Heliar lens has been selected as it celebrates tonality and texture while its residual design flaws impart a gentle luminosity to the highlights at wide apertures
I am working with women who feel strong in the power of their natural beauty. Textural history, like stretch marks, scars etc are part of the story. This makes the project sound serious, in reality I want humour in the mix. I want to work with women to have natural pubic hair so I can avoid disclosing too much personal information without adopting coy poses. Women who wish to take part in these projects are invited to contact me
