Ruslan Maksimov

Some stunning poses to be found in the work of the Russian photographer Ruslan Maksimov. The site is entirely in Russian, but the forth link down on the left leads you to the nudes gallery.

Obsession Art

Image by Mike Crawley

I seldom, if ever, post a link to a "commercial" site, but I'll make an exception in the case of Obsession Art. This is a UK based website that specializes in nude photography printed to order and shipped worldwide (for a surprisingly reasonable cost). It's a very user friendly site, and I recognize the names of a number of artists that I've featured here over the years, all of whom I assume get a commission from sales. They also provide good quality preview images without obnoxious watermarking, so even if you just want to go browse, there's lots to see.

Bill Ballard

Photographer and long time friend of this blog, Bill Ballard wrote in this week to let me know about his own blog where he posts not only his new images, but his thoughts on photography and art making in general. So if you like a bit more substance than the terse one or two line descriptions I normally dole out, be sure and check out Bill's blog.

Man Ray

I'll wrap up this week's post with one of the greats, surrealist master Man Ray. This site has a staggering amount of his work, searchable by theme and medium. Although some of the thumbnails don't work properly, this is still an amazing resource.

Blog Note:

Hi Folks: I'm sorry to report that I had to remove the "Follow This Blog" widget due to abuse by one very sick person. To date, I've blocked 43 different blogger identities this person was using to flood my Followers box. All of these profile contained the same links of a highly unsavory and creepy nature. So, after more than a month of battling this I've decided I simply need to take the opportunity away from him. I apologize to the hundreds of legitimate users of that widget. I did what I could, but I can not tolerate being even remotely associated with the type of content this person was posting.

British photographer Ellen Rogers has a distinctive way of taking the old hand printing taboos of dust, flat contrast, and washed out colours, and making something beautiful out of them. I love this stuff.

(Tip: I recommend you click the "browse" button at the top, rather than viewing these one at a time via the flash slide show)
