Introduction to figure photography
Thursday January 20,
7-9:30pm in studio.
Cost $55 min 4, max 8 students.
History of the nude in
photography
The first nude photographer may be N.P. Lerebours 1808-1873 who was
photographing artist's models in 1840.
By 1850 photographers were providing nude images of models for artists
who found it easier to paint from the photo than from life.
By 1900 the figurative nude was well established but technical advances
and new art movements were beginning to affect the nude as well.
By 1940 figure photography was as varied and complex as any other art
movement.
Also covered in this workshop;
- Preparation for figure photography
- Dealing with the nude model
- Lighting the basic nude figure.
In the last section of the workshop, photographers will use
their own
cameras to capture figure images of sample lighting setups, set
up by Kim.
