Looknsee Photography, Featuring Fine Art B&W Nude Photography

The unnamed Portland based photographer behind Looknsee Photography does nice, simple black & white figure work. He also does some mild fetish photography that I don't enjoy, but that's almost beside the point.

What's really fun is how opinionated this guy is. He doesn't want to just show you his work, he wants to tell you everything about his process, gear, and what he thinks about tattoos. I definitely recommend his excellent FAQ for Models page.

Thanks to Jer of zenofmycat for this link.

Gallery

I first saw Anderson & Low's, Nude Studies of the Danish National Gymnastic Team, in Black & White Photography magazine about a year ago and have been half looking for a web link to it since then. Luckily, the webmaster of xupacabras.weblog found it for me and has submitted it as his entry into the 1st anniversary contest.

The photography of William Ropp: '...and darkness was upon the face of the deep'

Although I've featured the haunting photos of William Ropp before, this new gallery features dozens of photographs with written descriptions which offer some insight into these potent images. If you've never seen this artist's work before, you're in for a ride that is equal parts beauty and nightmare.

Thanks for the link suggestion Stefan!

I've added a couple of new entrys into the permanent Misc. Photography Links section. Both are fantastic photo blogs, which are very similar to this one, except they are in Portuguese and both are run by the same blogger. While these should be of interest to all, my Brazilian & Portuguese visitors should particularly enjoy these.

Shadow Book

This link is a little unusual in that rather that featuring one photographer, it features one very talented model by the name of Myrrh Hamilton. She has worked with some superb photographers with a wide range of styles, and her online portfolio is a great showcase for both her and the photographers.

Shadow Book

Myrrh submitted this link as her submission into the 1st anniversary contest, and it certainly qualifies. As for the rest of you, there's still time to enter, so send me those links.

Kunstner - Tune Andersen

Danish photographer and member of the exclusive Art Nudes permanent links club, Tune Anderson, wrote to tell me about another website featuring some of his work.

Galeria aktu Andrzeja Zatwarnickiego - Art fine nude photography by Andrzej Zatwarnicki

Andrzej Zatwarnicki wrote to invite us all to visit his web gallery, and I'm very glad he did. His dyptychs using the same model in different positions on the same background are intriguing.

Professional photographer Christopher Voelker creates wonderfully dramatic and creative imagery. He cites famous Hollywood photographer George Hurrell as an influence, and it shows.

Torero - Photographs by Ruven Afanador

Eduardo Gallo Espinosa 
"El Gallo"
Salamanca, Spain
2001
Gelatin silver print

In his incredilbe series "TORERO: Matadors from Colombia, Mexico, Perú, and Spain" photographer Ruven Afanador turns the notion of Matadors as the ultimate symbols of machismo on it's head. Instead, these lithe and athletic figures become feminised and sexualised in some truly surprising and inspired photographs.

Anniversary Contest!

Maria,
Michael Barnes, 2003

Attention! Believe it or not, on February 15th, this blog will be 365 days old. To celebrate this one year anniversary I've decided to have a contest!

This is your chance to win an original hand-printed fine art print of the above image by me, your blog host. The photo is printed on 11" x 14" Ilford warm tone fibre-based paper, stamped with my studio stamp and signed. In the gallery that represents me, this print sells unframed for $150.00.

It's not just a random draw though, I'm going to make you work for it. Here's what you have to do. To qualify, you must send me a link suggestion for a site to use on this blog. To qualify, sites obviously need to feature fine art nude photography. No glamour or porn sites allowed. Most importantly though, the link must never have been featured on this blog before. This is probably trickier than you think, as I've featured hundreds of sites over this past year. So be prepared to dive into the archive to do some research before you enter.

I will randomly select one name from the qualified entries and make the announcement on Feb. 29. Multiple entries are permitted provided each link is different. Please do not send attachments.
