Stephanie Anne Landers

Photo by Ted Preuss

This week's model profile is professional art model (and Art Nudes reader) Stephanie Anne Landers. Stephanie's striking looks remind me of Faye Dunaway from the Bonnie and Clyde era. Sadly, last time she was on Vancouver Island, Dave Aharonian hogged her all to himself, (damn you Dave!) but hopefully she'll make it back this way again. In the meantime, she is based in New Mexico, but continues to travel around North America and shoot with other fortunate photographers.

Jan Hronsky

Edgy, dark, oddball, humourous, with a touch of glamour, erotica and fashion. It's pretty hard to hang a definition on the work of Czech photographer Jan Hronsky.

Nude Modeling Controversy in Utah

Adam, an art student and Art Nudes reader from Utah sent in this article demonstrating that power of nude modeling and art to generate controversy even today. It's often easy to forget that there's some mighty conservative points of view out there that clearly equate nudity in any form with sin and sex.

As Adam points out, the article is interesting, but the real "comedy gold" kicks in, in the 190 reader comments in response to the article.

Model Profile: Brooke Lynne

Self-portrait by Brooke Lynne

I decided a while ago that I wanted to start featuring more models on this site for a couple reasons. First, it's good to get the perspective from the other side of the lens sometimes. Secondly, it's always great to look at their portfolio and see the myriad ways one model can be interpreted by multiple photographers.

So, without further ado, here's the website and blog of figure model Brooke Lynne.

Rudolph Rossi

Photography collector Jim Linderman has assembled a remarkable collection of work by 1950s photographer Rudolph Rossi and has created a blog to share the images. Frankly, the photographs are not stunning. However, it's the assembly of a body of work from a heretofore unknown artist toiling away at a labour of love in a time before this style of work was widely accepted that makes this interesting.

Andrew Kaiser

Terrific work by American photographer Andrew Kaiser. It's not often these days that you see a photographer working so confidently across so many mediums, but he seems equally comfortable in b/w, colour, film, digital, polaroid and pinhole.

Jaime Ibarra

Hallucinatory, dream-like work by photographer Jaime Ibarra.

(Update: Jaime Ibarra is actually a Spanish/Australian photographer currently residing in the U.S.) Thanks to the artist and Rita in the comments section for the correction.

Why I buy garage sale photos...

OK, this is off topic, but as a chronic purchaser of old photos and negs at garage sales and second hand shops, I love this story.
