Nice shallow depth of field - makes me want to finish my 5x7 camera project!
well - I have dabbeled a little over the years with nudes...
Here's a bleached cyanotype.
18x24cm neg. Gandolfi 8x10 traditional - boyer 300mm lens.

While not the typical approach to nudes, I figured someone might enjoy viewing these. All 4x5 Ilford iso 400.
This reminds of a female friend in her last year of university. Her fine arts teacher asked her for a portfolio of self portrait nudes for her year end book.
Keep in mind that Miss S.W. was stunning and had a crazy sensual side.
Prof.....close to 50 yrs.....
She handed in 18 pix that showed, elbows, knuckles, ankles and ears!!
She passed, but he was pissed!
:) :)
Here is the fifth large one. (the one of the mouth was presented 4x5 in film holder)

And the lot of the images up for viewing. This image was shot on my trusty Speed Graphic. The series was shot on a Cambo Monorail, and a Canham Field camera. All with Schneider 210mm f/5.6 Lens.

... and to wrap it up.

a Schneide 210mm f5.6. I was actually wondering the same of yours, the depth of field is beautiful. A really nice image, I am enjoying finding others from the same shoot around the forum. It seems you really connected with the model.
Fallen Redwood, Nude
scanned silver gelatin print
cropped 4x5 neg
ustas: What focal length is that on the 5x7 -- 300mm ?
harry v: Nice high tones, don't think I've seen nudes quite like that before (closest would be pt/pd work).
Ustas also in nude she looks good!
Just out of curiosity, why are "nudes" almost always women? Is it because the photogs are almost always men?
Plasticca 280mm Full aperture.

Harry, Armin, thanks again for your comments!
Mari really is a peculiar-looking girl and it was very interesting to take some pictures of her.
As to lens: actually, I am not familiar with lenses at all. All I can say, that these portraits taken with Voigtlander Portrait Euryscope serie III № 5. It covers 8x10 with easy movements, but more suitable for 13x18 (I think).
Emil, great images! Thanks for sharing!

Same lens, same film, not the same Mari
Maybe a Christmas card too?
Geez Frank I hope you had a roaring fire nearby OW!
Maybe frank was actually shooting that from the hot tub.
I printed it about 8x20 on Portriga Rapid, selenium toned. I have also printed it full-frame 16x20 (the cropped image is the bottom half of the neg -- the trees just keep going up.)
And I will have to find the original scan -- something happened and the image has way too much contrast.
I didn't know Frank shot stuff for CSI. My 1st thought was a corpse.
I do not remember if I posted those before

I think Frank just likes to torture girls.
Vaughn - I love how the person is reduced to a little stick figure by the size of the trees.
Emil, always love your work.
I've been known to shoot the occasional nude.....
Nice one, Dave. Great location, too -- and I like the way you seemed to have used the wind to soften the background.
What are all these chicks with great hair doing running around in the woods? Did you use one of these auto-sensing triggers like the top wildlife photogs do?

Dave, I cannot stop looking at your amazing picture.
Dave, you have a stunning photograph.
Excellent work.
Gary
Dave, holy canoli!!!! Amazing!!!
Great photo, Dave!
Wow, Dave. That's all I can say. What a combo!
Dave, great image!!! Beautifully done!
Love that shot by Dave, but I also really like that one by Vaughn, in fact I thought at first they might have been by the same person!
Another amazing wood-nymph Dave. I don't remeber seeing that one when I looked at your web-site. Is it new?
Awesome Dave! What a location and beautifully done. My humble contribution: Zone Vi 4x5, Caltar 215, Ilford FP4.
bvaugh4, nicely done! The hue suits the image well.
Thanks for the kind words - they are much appreciated!!
I'm working through my backlog of sheet film from the summer. Here's another one shot in the Hoh Valley of Olympic National Park with Stephanie-Anne - a truly exceptional model.
Part of a project in the Olympic Rainforest. Finding great locations was easy. Mosquito control was difficult. The model was an advanced Aikido student and had amazing concentration despite the bugs.

I don't usually like the genre but you guys, especially David's body of work, do it so well... it really takes off from Wynn Bullock goes on fast-forward. Kudos.
As for myself, I associate nakedness with sexuality so most of my stuff isn't so pretty. I don't even like it, because deep down, I am a prude. I do it because I can, I want to challenge myself and make everyone uncomfortable and aware of it... but I did do a few prudy ones when I was starting out, in order to understand how to approach it. The first one is one of those shots, I would never show it in my portfolio anymore because it is just of a pretty girl and nothing more... it's Tiana Hunter, a popular art nude model who travels the world posing for "artistes". She already has a thousand shots like this, from a thousand photographers - nothing special with me, but it is pretty.
The others get creepier... the second is of Betcee May, a genuine Penthouse Pet, in a hooker motel in LA. Third is of Cat, one of the first Suicide Girls, it's the coldest, creepiest thing ever, makes my skin crawl. And the last is the infamous Meagan Sample, she had me do her first naked shot. Obviously she's done a few hundred since and if you see her now she makes a good cautionary tale for your daughters.
I'm glad I made myself do these, I probably don't have to do anymore. You learn a lot by pushing your boundaries and finding your limits. Oh and I really like blowing a hole in all the happy bullshit about the art and beauty of the nude female body coming from the typical middle-aged dweeb typing one-handed ;-)
If you find that you want to try naked woman photography, I recommend that you hire a professional like Tiana or Betcee and pay them well. They are the best teachers actually, very smart and saavy women. Cat got out of it and Meagan is busted.

Frank says, "Oh and I really like blowing a hole in all the happy bullshit about the art and beauty of the nude female body coming from the typical middle-aged dweeb typing one-handed ;-)"
Frank, How does your work blow a hole in anything? That's like saying, "I like how my gritty urban landscape work really blows a hole in that happy bullshit about the art and beauty of natural landscapes." I admire your work, and have always felt it was more closely aligned with portraiture than classic nudes. You have always reinforced this with your descriptions of your models....they are real people you mostly respect and you have shared your observations about their personalities and their motivations for modeling for you. Your work seems to mess with culture and social values. Classic nudes (for example David's fine work) play with tone, texture and form. It is more of a pure sensory exploration that is even better the more the viewer can suspend social attitudes about nudity. I don't think your work blows anything away (unless it is some "happy bullshit" in your own mind) any more than classic nudes are a threat to your treatment of sexuality and personality.
