The Nude

It would be hard to consider photography classical aspects with out including its relationship to the female form. Each medium has its own attributes and limitations which uniquely influence an artist vision. Photography with a large format camera is a slow and calculated process, Low light values enhance skin tone but complicate exposure times. The model must remain still for a very long time. The camera senses the movement of the skin as it responds to the models heart beat, It is that movement that helps to render the skin in the photo as soft and glowing.
