"I don't think there is difficulty in explaining why photographers and painters and most of the human race is, and have been, interested in the nude. Firstly a sort of carnal curiosity, secondly the sheer diversity of the human form, and the pleasure of seeing how people are constructed, then the difficulty of representing this in a photograph (or a painting). Since it is also a considerable voyage of trust for the model it is also a great responsibility to produce a fitting picture that will also be a pleasure for her."

I couldn't have said it better myself. Terrific photos by Nic Tucker

Libor Spacek combines his two loves, diving and photography, and creates some very nice images. The model's weightlessness in the water reminds me of contemporary dance photography.

Here's something fun for the weekend. Pawel Wojcik has created a very cool interactive web "book" featuring some great examples of vintage nudes. You literally turn the pages to flip through the book.

Text is in some Eastern European language, but the images and cool interface make it worthwhile. (Requires Flash)

MONA KUHN Photographs ? home

Mona Kuhn's work reminds me a lot of Sally Mann's, only with adult models. The photos have the same kind of dreamy, lost summer, kind of feel to them.

Beautiful palladium prints by Gonzalo Rufatt

"A portfolio of photographs that spans five years, Metaphors depicts images of female archetypes that have ancient roots and manifest themselves in our present everyday lives. The use of selective focus allows the viewer to experience many distinct figures as similar and even familiar images.

These figures, through the representative style, essentially become “one woman.” The visual effect is meant to heighten a sense of personal and emotional connection to every woman."
