The Art of Nude Photography

Published under the title Allegro Sensible in Germany, The Art of Nude Photography is already a best-seller throughout Europe. Now available for the first time in English, this beautiful oversized volume presents over 160 duotone images of sensuous and sublime female nudes by up-and-coming photographer Pascal Baetens. According to photographer Jeff Dunas, “Baeten’s work reveals energy, a discipline, and a love of his subject. Baeten’s photography has that essential ‘something’ – you either have it, or you don’t. You can’t learn it. That special ‘something’ is the ability to truly reach your subject – create a vision, and have complete complicity with the object you are photographing.” Includes over 150 … Read the rest

How do I find where photography seminars in my area are held?

I am interested in attending photography seminars for wedding photography, portrait photography, etc, and am wondering if anyone knows of a website or somewhere I could find out when and where they are held. I live near the Milwaukee area. Thanks!!!

Pick up a copy of the 2008 Photographer’s Market. It’s $27 in Barnes & Nobel. There’s a whole chapter in the back on Workshops & Photo Tours. It’s also full of all kinds of resources on how to sell your photos, photography organizations, etc. I just got it today. It was definitely worth the money.

Photography

In this international survey of photography, author Marien examines the art across the full range of its uses–in advertising, science, art and vernacular, and as a documentary medium. She shows how photography developed in different historical, cultural, political, and economic settings worldwide, and also how it has altered our perception of the world around us.

Looking For A Good Digital Photography School

Although photography largely involve an eye for beauty and a natural instinct for clicking the camera, it is still important for photographers especially those that are just starting in the field to gather some experience in actual photography. Some practice on their spare time and learn the techniques on their own but this will take a lot of clicking time and magazine reading.

This is why most will go for the short-cut by enrolling in schools that offer short courses in photography. Of course, this will not guarantee to make you a master photographer in months but at least you already have all the tools that you need to make … Read the rest

Photo Sex

Photo Sex offers both an expanded vision of the nature of photography–that fine art photography legitimately includes the subject of unapologetic sex–and an expanded vision of the nature of sex–that sex involves more than sexual intercourse and its attendant foreplay, more than the pursuit of orgasm.

The premise is that each photo in the book is a sexual photograph in this sense. This, of course, begs the question, “What is sex?” a question that each person will answer differently. Photo Sex collectively offers the author/photographer’s personal perspective on what is included in the sexual realm–a perspective which is fairly broad.

A wide audience for photography views sex in a more … Read the rest

Pricing for Photography Shoot, out doors, 1hr +, I have good skills but only a tripod and a camera? How much?

I have had photography classes, and I have done photography assignments in the past, nothing big. This is going to be about an hour or so of photography for a renewal of vows/wedding ceremony. How much should I charge?

Okay, it doesn’t sound like you have much experience. Do you really know what you’re doing? I see you have good skills, but what about great skills? You have a tripod and camera, but what about lighting equipment such as fill flashes and reflectors?

I think you shouldn’t charge a thing at first. Let it be a learning experience. Create a great portfolio for yourself, then start charging.
