Book Description
Capture the sensuality of the human form--male and female, alone and in couples--in artistic photographs. With expert photographer and best-selling author John Hedgecoe as your guide, you can master this difficult subject. More than 300 photographs in both color and black-and-white fire the imagination and illustrate Hedgecoe's practical advice. Explore all aspects of shooting indoors, including posing a model, lighting, choosing film, and selecting props and accessories. See how to find the perfect outdoor setting and how to take advantage of natural lighting effects. Create your own style using unusual viewpoints, reflections, shadows, soft-focus effects, texture, and more. There's more: the use of special effects such as body painting, creative use of depth of field, and computer images. Anyone interested in depicting the simple beauty of the human body on film will welcome Hedgecoe's sound solutions to the particular problems posed by photographing the nude.
