ENTRY DESCRIPTION
• The desire to experience beauty has always been a primal
•
need in our society and to express it, we have relied upon the

arts.
•
•
• This body of work, Male Scapes, represents my ongoing
•
photographic project in the classic tradition of nude studies.

Influenced by Greek and Roman sculpture, each of these images

reaches to explore the grace, exuberance and, even eccentricities

of the male form. Stark, edgy and provocative images set

against a field of darkness, the works are revealing, yet also

withholding, leaving the forms open to numerous interpretations.


I strive to embrace the light, line, curves and textures that

create what is male, not in perfection but as simplistic and

sensual. The forms confined in the darkness allude to reaching

for some escape. What the escape is yours to determine.

Each image is a silver gelation print 3.5 x 5 inches edition of 25 sign on the verso.

AUTHOR
Terry Scopelliti has been creating photographs for over 40 years. After receiving his degree in photography from The Art Institute of Atlanta, he relocated to New York City, where he worked as an assistant for many top fashion and still life photographers. Returning to Atlanta in the late 80’s he continued his exploration of the photographic medium in commercial, portrait and fine art.
Terry’s primary focus has been the male nude with its simplicities and mysterious complexities. His eye for detail, composition, light, shape and design enable him to create extraordinary images. He uses vintage, traditional and modern photographic techniques to accomplish his vision.
Terry’s photography has been exhibited in many galleries across the country in solo and group shows. In 2014 his work has been recognized for the fifth consecutive year by the internationally acclaimed American Art Awards.
