The model commissioned me to do a series of classic nude figure studies for her portfolio and as gifts for her husband. This was photographed with an experimental single element lens using a Nikon Bellows attachment for focus. The camera was a Nikon F with Kodak Tri-X film.
Nude figure photography walks a thin line between beauty and vulgarity. The photographer must be diligent in keeping high standards.
"What spirit is so empty and blind, that it cannot recognize the fact that the foot is more noble than the shoe, and skin more beautiful than the garment with which it is clothed?"
~Michelangelo
