Resting...

Yesterday i took advantage of a day off to wander about with the camera and try out a few new nude photos. I found this log to lay down against and managed to get a couple i liked.

My first thoughts for the photos were to be monochrome, and that's the first i'm adding. But i also like to try different looks and so the second is a colour version i quite like.

In the next photo i looked at the way i was laying It's a little awkward looking, not quite natural, almost like it's a body that has just been dumped there.
There's something about it that i liked...

Again i'm posting both the monochrome and colour versions.

Naked Shame!

I took these photos to represent how we are forced by society to hide away the human body. For those who are comfortable with the naked human body, we’re often treated as if it’s something shameful, or even worse, something disgusting. We can be treated like perverts for simply enjoying the pleasure of being free from clothes, to swim naked in the sea, or sit quietly in a park, or to enjoy the human form in art.
Surely the real perversion is to be offended by the human body!
I find that attitude offensive!

Forced to hang my hang head in naked shame!

 

 

Hiding my shameful nakedness!

Agonising over being forced to hide my nakedness!

Contemplating the great shame of my nudity!

Is my nakedness really so bad?
Will society ever let me be free?

Body in the dunes....

After a nice evening watching the setting sun at the beach, you walk through the dunes in the fading light and find this.....
Dead? Alive? What happened?

Pants!

So this was a real messing about photo to go with the last post. I realised Jo was snapping away as i walked very carefully on the sharp stones, so when i got to my clothes i decided to do a silly pose....

Just hangin out on the old railway....

So this is me doing a lighthearted shoot on a railway line with the help of my good mate Jo whilst i was visiting her recently. I pretty much set it up, and she worked the camera.

These were a bonus as we were actually out to view a different location.

Having done these i can now try and think of something a bit more arty and control the lighting better. Perhaps even go there at night next time i'm visiting the area.

Celebrating The Day (The World Didn't End)

The world was supposed to end, but it looks like it didn't after all. So here's how to get back to nature and celebrate the day!

Cold and wet for art!

Last summer i had a day out with a friend, Sam, to take photos. Along the way the conversation came around to my work as a life model. As the conversation developed she asked if i would pose for some photos, and the idea came about that we use a stream she knew of not too far away. Even in summer the fast flowing stream proved to be very cold, and fairly deep in one part i waded into.

I have to say that it's not easy to pose when slipping about on rocks, so what we ended up with was more of an impromptu, natural, and relaxed (though cold) set of photos.

In these three photos i did my own processing. The first, which is quite arty, i kept as simple monochrome. In the second i removed all colour but the green in the leaves. The third i got carried away and kept the green in the leaves, and the moss that was under the water, but i made it very vivid.

As an impromptu photo-shoot it was good fun.
