The nude has been a popular subject for photographers since the invention of the camera, but as social attitudes have changed, it is no longer restricted to the private confines of the studio. Shooting outdoors requires an understanding of the many nuances of natural light, and this book explores how these can be used in various ways to enhance the nude form.
The hight quality color and black-and-white images have been drawn from a wide range of contemporary international photographers. They demonstrate the many different effects possible using the sun as the principal light source.
The accompanying text explains the background to each image, looking at the thought process of the photographer and how the composition and location are used to good effect. Most importantly, the nature and quality of the lighting is also described, with a diagram to show the position of the sun and any other supplementary devices, such as flash units, filters or reflectors.
Written in clear, concise language
with comments and tips from the photographers themselves, this is an informative
and inspirational title for anyone keen to develop their interest in
photographing the human form.
