Body: The Photography Book

Product Information

Nude photography is a style of photography which shows the nude human body as a form of art. This is different from erotic photography, and pornography which focus on sexual arousal. Recumbent female nude, Amélie is a nude photograph by Félix-Jacques Moulin, done in the early 1850s There’s a real tongue-in-cheek humour around these images, but that’s not to say the photographers are any less serious about their work,” says Marshall. “They just see a space to have fun rather than having a serious approach to fashion, I think they see the lightness in it.” It’s very personal, but today I believe that most people think that the body is not sacred. Anyway, what it is interesting is that the body can also be a new religion. Human body can be improved in a way that makes us believe in the future of humanity… but not the one we have, the new body: the next one.

I think that my comfort level in working with the female figure and my strengths in posing have naturally lent themselves to this beautiful art form. Working with natural light and the human form is a very creative process for me that has me pushing the envelope of my own artistic boundaries and I love it! One section in the book – “Physic” – is about scientific images which are not a work of art or documentation, why did you choose to add it? In 1971, American scientist Raymond Damadian (1936–) discovered that MRI could be used for medical diagnosis. The radio signals emitted by cancer cells in a tumour were different from those in healthy cells and could be isolated by the MRI scanner. Damadian built the first whole-body MRI scanner in 1977, which he called the 'Indomitable'. Try incorporating tattoos into abstract photography of the human body. You’ll create a visual study of culture and tradition. Also, to have a beautiful face to make healthful children. My theory is a face with “beautiful proportions” is a sign of physiological health. And of course these things are highly subjective. Venus by Botticelli

Authored by Nathalie Herschdorfer, Director of the Museum of Fine Arts at Le Locle, Switzerland, the monograph is “the definitive survey of contemporary photography of the human body”. A photoshoot with the participation of the human body is quite difficult, especially if it’s a couple or group of people and the main object isn’t a professional model. After all, it’s important that the client feels relaxed and comfortable. Because only in this way you’ll get the most natural pictures.We are surrounded by images, we see them everywhere. If you think of the way we perceive beauty… everybody wants to have a great body. We have to be healthy, thin, good-looking. All this depends on the photographs we see in magazines, media, on the web: these pictures of what we regard as beautiful bodies become a reference for us and they have an impact on the way we treat our body. Although we have created something very traditional in the initial display, the hang is very odd,” laughs Marshall. “The introductory panel, for example, is across a mirror and we allude to Lena C. Emery’s ‘Practice’, the naked yoga shoot. Her image is reflected in the mirror behind and so from the very beginning it asks you to use your body to look at the work.” Photograph by Lena C. Emery, ‘The Practice’ from The Gentlewoman, Spring/Summer 2014

That is why when asking other experienced photographers how to take good body pics, the usual answer would be to understand good composition. A Walt Whitman quote closes the book: “If anything is sacred the human body is sacred”. He is a XIX century poet, is it still true today? A model is typically being considered for a specific brand or article in a magazine when this type of work is being requested by the agency. I will often inquire with the booker if this is the case and style the shoot accordingly in an attempt to help them book the gig. Body Photography Clothing and Wardrobe Switch your camera to manual mode and choose a slow shutter speed. Also, guide your subject to move during the exposure to create a captivating effect that conveys a sense of movement and energy within the frame.Do you want to focus only on the shape of the body? Place the person so that the light source is behind him. Thus, you get a beautiful silhouette, which is also a great effect. The most interesting full-body shot example is if you put a person into one of the yoga asanas in front of the sunset so that his body covers the rays. 10. Discover the Mystery and Creativity of Shadows Encourage your subjects to express themselves authentically, showcasing a sense of confidence and self-assuredness.
