Carrie Leigh's NUDE

The good folks over at Carrie Leigh's NUDE magazine wrote to let me know they're selling off their back catalogue. If you're a collector or a completist, here's your chance.

Here's Carrie's blog post explaining the situation.

The Official Blog of Carrie Leigh's NUDE: An Announcement from Carrie Leigh

Here's the direct link to their shop.

FYI, I receive no promotional consideration from this magazine. I just appreciate the good work they do getting fine art nude photography into print.

A Special Thanks

I'm extremely fortunate to have many of the readers of this blog submit sites for possible posting. I'm very grateful for each and everyone of you. Some only submit one or two links, others like my friends Eric Kellerman, JJ Andre and Chris Triance-Martin have been sending links in on and off for ages.

However, today I want to publicly thank two of the real unsung heroes of Art Nudes. I don't always credit the links they submit because there are so many, but between the two of them, Nicolas Taillard and Michel Nahabedian have probably submitted over 100 links to some truly amazing photography. Without their contributions, my life would be much harder and there's a good chance this blog wouldn't still be here.

So, to you two I say:

Nicolas Taillard - Merci beaucoup!

Michel Nahabedian - Vielen dank!

Andreas Bitesnich

Austrian photographer Andreas Bitesnich produces some of the most hyper-polished figure work in the world. Although a bit austere for some, there's no denying the level of skill here.

Andreas Bitesnich - Official Site Not much in the way of his nudes here, but good info on the artist and his workshop series.

Fashion photographers Daemian Smith & Christine Suarez. Book III is the only portfolio that contains nudes, but the rest of their work is also exceptional.

Ilya Rashap

Spectacularly good art nude and fashion photography by Russian Ilya Rashap. Once again supporting my theory that the Russian photographers (and models) are amongst the best in the world.
