Mixed Art Nudes

Photography by Gavin Bell​

Gavin Bell

​

Although Gavin Bell considers himself a latecomer to art photography (he bought his first SLR just a few years ago) he has nonetheless, thrown himself into it with complete abandon. He studied at the Centre for Creative Photography in South Australia. It was there that he developed a penchant for the studio environment. He liked the way one could manipulate light with multiple strobes, creating mood and drama.

Gavin claims particular inspiration from photographer Man Ray. He likens his simple use of props and uncomplicated backgrounds to Ray's concepts of abstraction. His emerging style is also a juxtaposition of ideas ranging from the traditional figure study in the vein of Ruth Bernhard, to breaking 'all the rules' by challenging himself with new ideas and concepts.

Photography by John Nemeth



John Nemeth
John Nemeth became interested in photography as a teenager. He still has photographs that he shot in 1964 at the New York World’s Fair. During most of the 1970’s and 1980’s he had his own darkroom and diligently worked at his craft. He began to concentrate on glamour and art nudes in 2003, in part due to his poor health and reluctance to travel, which was required for shooting landscapes. He continues to work in his desert homeland of Arizona and practice his art. He thinks of photography as a way to focus on all the beautiful things in the world.

In early 2008, John published two books of his art nudes at Blurb.com: Tracy by Sunlight and Intimate Portraits.

Photography by Paco Rosso​

Paco Rosso
Paco Rosso was born in southern Spain in 1965. He now lives in Cadiz. He's been intrigued with photography since he was a boy, and in addition to working as an electrical engineer, has worked not only as a photographer but also has done translation work and taught architectural visualization. He says he's a student of light and color and recently published a book that he describes as a technical journey into photographic lighting.

Paco considers the great artists as his mentors, from Piero della Francesca to Frank Horvat, stopping at Antonello de Messina, Da Vinci, Vermeer, Zuloaga, and Romero de Torres. His vision of the nude is a girl who knows her beauty, who knows her value, who says in effect, "Look at me, do you like? Then, work to earn it".
