NUDE Magazine - Muse Search

Candace Nirvana by Michael Barnes

Every experienced photographer of the nude knows that to be a great model requires much, much more than a nice figure. A great model can elevate your work and inspire you. NUDE magazine is on the hunt for your suggestions of great models to celebrate in upcoming issues. I'm pleased to see that in the next issue, they are featuring the wonderful Candace Nirvana who I had the pleasure of shooting a couple months back.

If you're interested in nominating a model to be featured, here's what they say and a link to offer your suggestions:

Each issue of NUDE features a well known established model who has worked with a variety of photographers. With so many amazing models to choose from, we are turning to our audience for suggestions as to who you want to see on the pages of NUDE. Please send your suggestion as to who should join should join such greats as Charlotta Champagne, Veronika Kotlajic, Sarah Ellis, Datura Noir, and in our next issue, Candace Nirvana.

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.

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.
