So, what do you do when you get a pair of goths in the studio?
Simple, you turn the guy into the Crow and the girl into a total glamour puss.
Last Saturday, I had an insane shoot with Maz and her friend Graeme. I’ve shot Maz once before and we got on like a total riot then, so she’s comfortable with me shooting her and gave us some great looks and poses and a fantastic laugh.
Graeme, on the other hand, had never modelled before and was understandably tense about getting in front of the camera and posing around. Well, no need to worry. After a couple of pointers on his first couple of poses, he was striking up like a pro giving it all for the camera. We got some great shots, but this one is one of my favourites of the two of them.
I know its not nude (there has been a lot of that lately) but I still think its a smart shot and the heavy goth high contrast B&W treatment works..I think… Hope you enjoy it too.

On Friday, I had an excellent shoot with the lovely Kirsten.
We shot some art nude images as I’m doing that style for my college Portraiture class.
Now, I know that fine art nudes tend to be in black and white, but I thought that, because she has fantastic long, red hair and gorgeous dark eyes, I’d leave the shots in colour to bring them out more.
So, do they still count as “Fine Art” or does proper fine art depend on the B&W presentation, as well as pose, intent and all the other things?
Personally, I say yes, but what do I know…?

I’d just like to apologise to any of the models I’ve worked with.
If you’re waiting for prints, CD/DVD or completed images from me, I’m running behind a bit. College work is taking up a lot of my time just now.
I am working hard to catch up on the backlog and you will definitely get was was promised. Its just that it might take longer than hoped.
Please bear with me.

So tell me, what's makes this image an "art" nude as opposed to just some naked woman lying on the rocks, or even pornography?
Does an image have to fulfil certain conditions before it can be considered art?
Things like:
- Has it been published?
- Has it been exhibited?
- Did someone arbitrarily say "Ooh, nice art."?
- Do you have to "know" someone specific?
- Do you have to BE someone specific?
- Are there specific aesthetic conditions that it must meet?
- Can "art nude" only be acceptable in black and white?
So what makes this "art" and another image just "coffee table porn" as it was described to me recently?
Join in the discussion and maybe we can work it out? Or does it really matter? Is it ALL subjective - one person's art is another's porn is another's art...etc.?
