Art Nudes 2009 Calendar - Lulu.com




IMPORTANT UPDATE: When you go to purchase a calendar and you get to the last screen, it's important to select the correct "shipping option". The default "Standard" shipping price is ridiculously high, but if you select Ground shipping, the price goes way down.

Update #2: Apparently shipment beyond North America is unreasonably expensive due to a recent change at Lulu. They are looking into other options, but in the meantime if any readers outside of North America really want a calendar, please contact me directly at the email link to the left and I'll make arrangements.


Dear readers, I am very happy to announce the very first real world publication from the Art Nudes blog. The Art Nudes 2009 Calendar!

Check out the Preview Gallery to see what you'll get with the black background version.

If you appreciate the strictly non-commercial, no advertising, no porn policy of this blog, and you've enjoyed the work I've been doing here for the past 6 years, please show your support by buying a calendar.

The calendar is available in 2 different formats. The premium 13.5 x 19 inch "poster" version on high quality glossy paper, or the wire bound 11 x 17 inch (when opened) version. Each format is also available with either white or black backgrounds behind the images.

Featuring 19 fine art nude photographs by an international collection of some of the top artists featured on this blog, this calendar would make a great gift to yourself or to any art lover in your life.

The artwork of the following artists are featured:

Dave Aharonian
Jean Jacques Andre
Michael Barnes (that would be me)
John Casado
Stephen Haynes
Eric Kellerman
Steve Richard
Ron Skei
Mitsuo Suzuki
Chris triance-martin
Janez Vlachy

Huge thanks to all of these artists for donating their images to this project. It is deeply appreciated.

It's been too long since I posted some of the work by our photographic forefathers. This web page has got some terrific stuff from the dawn of figure photography.

Art Nudes reader Dave Rudin wrote in to tell us that he's just released his new Figures of Grace calendar for 2009. I ordered last years, (I'm looking up at Miss October 2008 hanging above my desk right now) and I've enjoyed it all year.

How To Photograph Naked Women




Former Penthouse staff photographer Jay Allan wrote in to tell me that he's launched a brand new site where he'll be sharing some techniques, hosting galleries and running a forum. It's pretty thin on content just now, but if this takes off it could turn into an interesting site.

He's also looking for guest artists, so this could be a good opportunity for some of you.

French photographer Jonathan Abbou riffs on archaic photo styles such as the old "Exotic Orient" photo cards of the late 19th century to create highly textured and successful work.
