ENTRY DESCRIPTION
As a study of the nude, I find the isolated torso to be the definitive view of the female, and the most difficult to capture with grace and elegance.

AUTHOR
I am an amateur photographer with a passion for black & white images and the studio nude.

Taking inspiration from Leonard Nimoy, Edward Weston, Ruth Bernhardt and a host of others, I’ve approached photographing the female nude with a core interest in the application of self-taught rules of composition. It is fair to say that in my works I search for the limits of my sense of composition, and then attempt to overcome and push beyond those limits. But I am always brought back to reality by the basics of exposure.

Much of my portfolio is built on creative serendipity through interactions with fellow photographers and models. As my work evolved, I found that the use of a prop helped create a focal point around which to craft an image; from that point on, I was always on the lookout for an object that might open a creative path. My prop-themed images are an experiment with light and tone, line, curve and angle, while capturing the inherent sensuality of the nude in the context of fine art black and white images.
