Classic
December 30th, 2006
I’ve been spending some time looking through some of my older work. This one is from many years ago when I started doing figure work again after a break of some years. It’s a simple photo, single light source in my studio. At this time I was just simply exploring light and the figure to find pleasing shapes and forms. Some might call this classic figure photography. I think it’s a necessary step for any photographer who is interested in figure work. My work has moved in another direction over the past 10 years or so, but there’s nothing wrong with some of these older photos. Looking at them has me thinking about doing some new work along these lines and seeing how my view of the figure in this style has changed over those years. And it will give me something to work on while I wait for the weather to warm up so I can shoot more photos of naked women on rocks, because as we all know, the world just doesn’t have enough photos of naked women on rocks.
Once again this photo is so old it was shot on film. 35mm color negative, Kodak Royal Gold…or whatever it was called back then…Ektasomething, I think. And it was shot long before the copyright date on it…that was when I first scanned it and placed it on a web site.
