Photographing Fine Art Nudes

How To Create Figurative Fine Art Images

A Portrait Photography Presentation by Joe Edelman

For centuries, the nude female form has inspired works of art from the classics to modern abstract expressionism.

Also, in the name of art, the female form has been appreciated and objectified. My goal is to appreciate the female form’s beauty and create images resulting from a creative collaboration with my subject.

This program is designed to give you the skills and confidence needed to make superior artistic images of the nude female form.

What you will learn:

How to approach and plan a shoot
How to find and select models
How to work with models so that they are comfortable with the camera
How to create flattering poses
How to create dynamic images without posing at all
How to use light to define the female form
Taking Photoshop’s potential into account before you shoot
… and much more!
