Nudes
that with the Republican party is poor. Very weak indeed. Why not do the same but with a baby being stepped on by the woman who
decided to kill it? And associate that with the Democratic party? See, not very appropriate either is it?

As a amateur photographer who is looking to get into more nude-are photography I just want to thank you for giving me some insight
and motivation on this art.
Your insights and photos are wonderful, and they help me come to grips with my creative inabilities of which I am trying to conquer.
Again, Thank you.
Mark.

In one of the above comments, Danielle E. Corsetto, (November 12, 2000) said "I find it very hard to respect a nude photograph of a
person smiling or jumping when put in such a serious atmosphere as a white drop with diffused lighting..."
Why only a nude person? Why would a smiling clothed person in such a 'serious' atmosphere be taken more seriously?
While I agree that a beautiful face with a solemn expression has a high element of class, these type of 'candid' shots have their place,
and I personally didn't have a problem with the setting.
In fact, the contrast between the setting and the expressions is what I liked the most.
Artistic nudes have the cliche of being serious, and solemn. They also have the cliche of depicting something depressing, like being
alone and naked to the world, etc. "This is artistic nudity! No giggling allowed! That would be immature.."
Here, for once we can see people in their natural state, expressing natural emotions. I think its quite appropriate.

I've little interest in labels individually assigned to images, nude or otherwise. I enjoyed this tutorial because it displays and explains
photographing nudes. I don't expect to do much (if any) nude photography, but I still want the insight.
I think your work is fantastic. I was impressed with the woman in the empty room.

Shadow, Light, texture, setting, yes... but above all; beauty, strength, grace, intrigue... le femme mystique ... bring forth our sense of
awe and wonder and impel us to LOOK again. Herein the child and the eye meet, something stirs within, and you are responsible for
that. Thank you.
