Published under the title Allegro Sensible in Germany, The Art of Nude Photography is already a best-seller throughout Europe. Now available for the first time in English, this beautiful oversized volume presents over 160 duotone images of sensuous and sublime female nudes by up-and-coming photographer Pascal Baetens. According to photographer Jeff Dunas, "Baeten's work reveals energy, a discipline, and a love of his subject. Baeten's photography has that essential 'something' - you either have it, or you don't. You can't learn it. That special 'something' is the ability to truly reach your subject - create a vision, and have complete complicity with the object you are photographing." Includes over 150 sublime examples of this up-and-coming photographer's work.
Learn to light, pose, and photograph the human form--and create beautiful, expressive fine art photographs. Capturing the nude human form has been a part of photography almost since the medium's inception, and it remains one of the most empowering and liberating challenges that the medium offers. Though the subject is, by definition, straightforward--the human form is the ultimate blank canvas--the photographic options are limitless as you strive to create a beautiful, elegant, and expressive photograph. At the same time, with such simple subject matter, there is nowhere to hide. Poor lighting and ineffective posing will show. If you have no concept to explore or story to tell, it will show. Whether you're curious about conducting your first fine art nude shoot or you're a seasoned photographer who wants to vastly improve your lighting and posing skills, photographer and author Lindsay Adler will teach you how to infuse artistry and technique into your visual capture of the nude form. In Fine Art Nude Photography, Lindsay teaches you all about: - Shoot concepts: Find inspiration and develop a story for your shoot, and learn to avoid the "cringe factor" that can result when working without focus or intention - Models: Find models to work with, understand proper etiquette, and navigate model releases - Posing: Learn the posing fundamentals for the nude form, plus five essential poses you need to know - Lighting: Master the art of sculpting and defining the human form with light and shadow Throughout the book, you'll also hear directly from professional fine art nude models so that you can understand their needs, how to conduct yourself, and how to better collaborate to ensure a successful shoot. Finally, Lindsay includes ten complete shoots where, from start to finish, she shares her thought process behind each shoot, including concept, lighting, posing, retouching, and final selections.
Images of the nude human form are among the oldest art forms—from simple drawings, to grand statuary, to classic painting and contemporary photography, artists’ fascination with the human body has endured throughout time and across every form of creative expression. Within the pages of this book, accomplished fine-art nude photographer Jennifer Emery begins by presenting the key elements of lighting and posing the human body to best flatter the subject and express the desired design. With these fundamentals in place, she expands and elevates the practice of photographing nudes to develop more conceptual, fine-art looks that go beyond merely representing the subject and strive to communicate more complex ideas and aesthetics. As she demonstrates, fine-art nude photography can go far beyond a mere black backdrop and some interesting lighting. Full of color, motion, and style, Emery’s images spark intrigue, admiration, passion, and excitement!

Boudoir and Nude photo book 8.5 X 8.5" 120 pages colors book inside with artistic cover designed by Ya. My name is Jantira Namwong. I am a female Boudoir and Nude photographer from Thailand. I started my photography as a way of empowering women in their life, work, relationships, etc... I became a Boudoir and Nude female photographer by chance 7 years ago after I had been in architectural photography for a few years. I was working for other people and companies until I became bored of being someone else's employee. I wanted to be independent and start my own business. I already had knowledge of photography and began looking for which possible path would make a good career. I accidentally discovered Boudoir photography while searching the Internet and realized right away that as a woman I could also make images of beautiful women wearing lingerie in their changing room. Right away, this business idea clicked as something to do as a female! After shooting Boudoir for two years, I then expanded my package to offer clients Nude session too. The results were amazing! After working in this business for a while, I realized that every woman loves to see themselves as sexy and beautiful while wearing lingerie. They love having their pictures taken while nude to feel and connect with their bodies and to love themselves more. They also wanted to share these images with their intimate partner, and sometimes with their friends or social media to show the world how beautiful she is ... "Confidence is Sexy". In this photo book I will show you Boudoir and Nude photos from my collections and talk about how I feel to photograph nudes? I will also talk about how female empowerment is very good for men's well-being. Also, what do I think would be the perfect? My photographs shown here are from photo sessions with my models that work with me privately and also from my workshop I organized for photographers from different countries who came to Thailand to join my sessions. I will also discuss the difference between Boudoir and Nude photography, and how they could be used to impact our life. Every one of the models in this book is beautiful and sensual in their own way. What they have in common is that they all use their sensuality to become empowered in their life, career, and relationships. This, ultimately, what Boudoir and Nude photography is all about! It allows us to see our sensuality as an expression of confidence and empowerment, not just for women, but for men, too. I hope you enjoy this photo book! Thank you! Jantira Namwong (YA)
