Blake Little

It's been a long time since my last post, but this excellent series by Blake Little is certainly reason for a foray out of retirement.  Stellar work!

SALE NOW OVER - CATCH IT NEXT YEAR

WOW! American platinum and alt-process photographer Ray Bidegain wrote in to let me know that to celebrate his birthday for one day only all the work on his site will be priced to match his age. This year that's 52.

That's right, only for today September 29, it $52 for anything in Ray's extensive portfolio of gorgeous platinum prints. (Shipping and matting not included.)

I'm buying more than one.

Grisha Selivanov

Interesting and creative work by Russian Grisha Selivanov. I'm particularly intrigued by his "scanner cam" which judging by the photo on the video page seems to be exactly what it sounds like, a lens assembly attached to a scanner. (The image above is from that series.)

Hyper-stylized and heavily processed imagery by Russian photographer/digital artist Andrey Razoomovsky. Not to all tastes perhaps, but they guy is clearly prolific and a master of his style.

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!

David Lyon

I love American photographer David Lyon's silver gelatin prints. Using experimental printing techniques, manipulations of his darkroom chemistry and defocused, contrasty imagery, he has developed a strong and recognizable aesthetic from which he has generated an impressive body of work.
