Corps et ames - Le site de Pauline, une jeune femme modele et photographe, qui aime jouer le jeu troublant et intime de l'autoportrait et de la photo




Art Nudes reader Pauline wrote in to share her website which she charmingly describes as follows:

"I am a french young woman, who enjoy make self portraits but not only...I also take landscapes, models, etc... I am not a professionnal, ( I supposed it is obvious ;-) ) , I just do this for the pleasure and for introspection."

The Raw Files




Here's an interesting project blog sent in to me by a pair of fellow Canadian photographers. They describe it in their own words as:

"The Raw Files is a project created by Mclain of 'Swift Images' & Rob of 'twisted figure fotography.' It focuses on the year long exploits of these 2 photographers and the 2 models we chose for the year, as we attempt to create captivating images. The intent is for all 4 of us to share 'behind the scenes' perspectives of photography and modeling."

If you want to know what nude photography is really like, this is good place to get insight. Join Mac & Rob as they agonize over the quality of their work, lust after new gadgets, and fume over no-show models.

Portraits by Sanders McNew




There's a directness and intimacy to the large format portraiture of Sanders McNew that's very powerful. These are true "nude portraits".

The page takes a while to load, and the interface is unusual, but it's worth the wait.

Vote for Shawn!




You can guess by the photo that this post strays from this blog's normal subject matter, but I hope you'll indulge me.

My buddy Shawn started on an amazing journey of physical transformation 3 just three months ago when he was accepted into a his local newspaper's fitness challenge. Since then he's lost 40 lbs! He's gone from couch potato to triathelete and competed in eleven 5 & 10 KM runs during that time.

Now's the time to vote for the winner, who receives a trip to Mexico. I think Shawn deserves to win. If you are as impressed by his accomplishment as I am, I'd like to ask you all to take a moment to vote for him at the link below.

Thank you!

Voelker Nudes - Christopher Voelker photographer of humans




Los Angeles based photographer Christopher Voelker has been working for 20 years as a studio photographer doing both entertainment photos and fine art nudes. As you can imagine, with a track record like that, his portfolio is very impressive. Another interesting part of his story is that he's managed this successful career from a wheelchair which he's used since a motorcycle accident at 16.
