An Attempt to Nude Photography

Warning: This post is about Nude Photograpraphy. If you think you'll be offended by this post please skip it.

Nude photography, as defined in Wikipedia, is a style of art photography which depicts the nude human body as a study. Nude photography should be distinguished from erotic photography, which has a sexually suggestive component. Nude photography should also be distinguished from glamour photography, which places more emphasis on the model and her/his sexuality, and treats the model as the primary subject.

Many photographers consider an art nude photograph to be a one that studies the human body, rather than the person. A photograph of a person that is meant to be recognized is called a portrait, and nude photographs often do not show a face at all. Nude photography is generally not a snapshot, but a composed image of a person in a still position. As an art form, nude photography a stylized depiction of the nude body with the line and form of the human figure as the primary objective. Photographers sometimes use extremes of light and shadow, oiled skin, and shadows falling across the body to show texture and structure of the body.

Few days before the shoot, I search through the net for some tips from the type of lense to use in nude photography,creating story lines, lighting the figures to posing the model. I may say the latter was truly a challenge. The tips really come in handy.

This is my attempt to capture a woman's body through photography and I do hope i made justice to it. This was made possible by ARTMOVEMENT.

It was a great learning experience. =)

Trying my hand on Photoshop

Im trying to learn photoshop and it's really intersting. My friend Alvin have taught me how to enhance an image with a soft skin. The process include filter,noise, median, vector mask and adjustment on opacity will give a nice result. For this particular photo I've used the soft skin effect and a combination of Lightroom.

I'll try to enhance images and share the workflow if time permits. Whatever I learned in photoshop, resources, links will try to document and share it with you.
