RetroAtelier - Lobby




Wow! I'm blown away by RetroAtelier. The anonymous photographers behind this site have devoted themselves utterly to recreating the various photographic styles of the early 20th century and have even organized them decades. (Update: Mariana writes to tell me that the Director of the site is a man named Alex Galushkoff) Marvelous stuff, and really, really well done. This one earns a place in the permanent links!

RetroAtelier

A big thanks to Mariana for this one.

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.
