Seriously, what is it with Russian photographers? Is there something in the water over there? I know it's a big country, but they seem to have more than their share of talent.

Viewer seldom think about the model's point of view when discussing art nude photography, yet their role is vital to the creative process and the success of the image making. Therefore it was nice to find this blog by figure model Candy where she shares her philosophical, political and creative insights on her chosen line of work.

Good luck Stephen!

Although aimed at the glamour photographer crowd, I found some very useful tips on this page of articles written and compiled by well known glamour photographer Rolando Gomez. As a relative newcomer to digital shooting, I found the discussions on managing colour temperature & white balance particularly helpful.

Polish photographer Pawel Wojas' unique method of lighting and habit of shooting through scrims, usually plastic sheets by the look of it, gives his work a look and consistency of style that I find very appealing.

Ron Skei, or to refer to him by his nom d'arte, Ron Chez, is one of the few photographers I've featured here that I've actually had the pleasure of sitting down and having a beer with. Not only is he a fundamentally decent guy, he's also a fine photographer.
