John Casado

John Casado, who has been one of my all time favourite photographers for years,  wrote in to let me know that he's moved on from figurative work and is exploring new directions with his photography. Luckily for us, he's leaving his nudes up in a special "legacy" section of his website.

John's new (and excellent) work can be found here:

Karel Vojkovsky

It's been too long since I featured the exceptional figure work of Czech photographer Karel Vojkovsky. Superb stuff, I only wish he had new work to show...

Tony Duran

Noted celebrity and fashion photographer Tony Duran. Hyper-stylized fashion and beauty work with a strong emphasis on male nudes.

Stefan Delay

Figure studies, portraits and erotica by French Belgian (Thanks Raymond) photographer Stefan Delay. Although his photos are more explicit than I normally feature here, the fact that he works exclusively with film and paper really demonstrates his skill as a photographer.

Guerrilla Glamour

I'm excited to announce that one of the photography bloggers I admire most, Jimmy D. of Pretty Girl Shooter has published his first e-book, entitled Guerrilla Glamour

For those of you that don't know him, Jimmy's a long time professional glamour photographer who's forgotten more about photography than most of us will ever know.

In his book he shares 101 pages of lighting set ups, information of finding and interacting with models, post production, and gear selection, all described in his own inimitable style. Specifically it is focused on making great pictures without overly complicating your shoots or bankrupting yourself with expensive gear.

For $9.95, it's a terrific deal, and whether you're a glamour or fine art shooter, you will certainly pick up some valuable information from this book.

By way of full disclosure, if you buy his book using the links I've provided, Art Nudes gets a little piece of the profit. However, I swear to you, I would have posted the same enthusiastic review even if Jimmy hadn't gracefully offered to share the proceeds. So, buy his book, increase your knowledge and support two fine photographic blogs!

Candace Nirvana (Photographer)

In addition to being an incredible model, Candace Nirvana is also a talented photographer in her own right. As she said herself, it's very handy for her that so many of her friends happen to also be professional models, giving her access to some terrific subjects to shoot.

Special Guests!

This week I was more than delighted to welcome three very special guests over to my house when photographer Dave Aharonian came by with two of the best professional art models in the business.

Candace Nirvana (left) and Stephanie Anne Landers (right) happened to be traveling through the Pacific Northwest and fortunately for me they both made it to Victoria. Even more fortunately for me, I was able to have a fantastic shoot with Candace this past Wednesday, and I'm shooting Stephanie Anne later today.

Both of these women are sensational models and charming people. If they happen to be traveling in your part of the world anytime in the future, don't miss the chance to hire them. Your portfolio will thank you!

Here are their respective Model Mayhem profiles as well:

Scott Chappell

Here's the portfolio of UK photographer (and brand new Art Nudes reader) Scott Chappell.

He describes as follows: "My work leans towards being traditional art nude using my studio and landscapes to their best advantage though I'm now starting to edit my pictures using textures to add a new dimension."

Petr Flynt

Art Nudes reader Petr Flynt has completely revamped his website since I last visited. He's gone with a medieval illuminated manuscript theme which ties in well with the curious and amusing tableaux that he creates.

Taking the day off

Hey all, I'm taking the day off from blogging to play host to old friend and visiting photographer, Chris Triance-Martin. (That's him shooting model Misty at my place yesterday.)

I'm having too much fun showing him the sights of British Columbia and catching up on old times to blog today. See you all next week!
