Nude Landscapes and Nude Abstracts

The less Puritan view of nudity in Australia (compared to the United States) allowed me to complete two fine-art-nude shoots. Creating compelling images using nothing but the human body and lighting is challenging. Any sexuality or awkwardness is obscured by the constant struggle to find interesting lines, shapes, and textures.

In both of these shoots I used two cameras. The first was a point and shoot digital camera which I used mainly to evaluate lighting and composition. The second was an 8"x10" film view camera. Being 8x10 this film has 80 sq. inches, a full 60 times more than 35mm. The resulting image is around 400-600 megapixels. This quality is why digital cameras won't displace film in applications requiring top-quality for quite some time. In fact, a group of photo nerds has modified an air force aerial camera to produce 1000+ megapixel images.
