Harold Lloyd

It's been a while since I posted a classic photographer, so to rectify that, here's a portfolio of 1950's great Harold Llyod.

Bear Kirkpatrick

Stunning work by American photographer Bear Kirkpatrick. His figures appear in mysterious and unsettling nighttime environments and the viewer feels as though they've accidentally exposed some arcane and deeply private moment in the fleeting beams of their car's headlights.

Really, really wonderful stuff.

Misha Gordin

It's been too long since I posted the incredibly potent photo-montages of Misha Gordin. If you aren't familiar with this masterful artist, don't miss this chance.

The Female Nude in Western Art

The more scholarly amongst you may be interested in this new book by Art Nudes reader and Syracuse University sociologist Allan Mazur, which traces the changing ideals of the female body in art history.

THE RAW FILES

Photo by Mac Swift

I recently had the chance to chat with Mac Swift & Rob of the RAW Files while they were visiting my neck of the woods and looking for locations. It's not often I get to actually speak with Art Nudes readers, so this seemed like to perfect occasion to post a link to their excellent and informative blog.

Stephen Haynes

Long time friend of this blog, photographer Stephen Haynes has returned to the blogging world with his new blog, Truth and Justice For All. Rather than focusing strictly on photography, the new site provides, "Nudes and Commentary, with an Irreverent Liberal and Libertarian Twist"

So if this sounds like your cup of tea, go check it out!

John Casado

John Casado, who has been one of my all time favourite photographers for years,  wrote in to let me know that he's moved on from figurative work and is exploring new directions with his photography. Luckily for us, he's leaving his nudes up in a special "legacy" section of his website.

John's new (and excellent) work can be found here:
