The Naked and the Lens is designed as both a technical guide and an artistic
inspiration. Filled with beautiful images of the nude form, it also shows you
how this can be technically achieved. The book covers key topics: concept,
lighting, directing, post-production, and artisic re-interpretation and how
to find models. Legal and photo release issues are covered as well.
The techniques are up-to-date, including Photoshop CS4, RAW capture and
shooting with a gray card to capture accurate white balance information.
The lighting section will also show how to get studio quality light from hot-
shoe flashes by adapting them to umbrellas and soft boxes. Regardless of
whether you are shooting in a studio or in a field, this book will show you
how to create works of art with nude bodies and it will also teach through
advice in a unique interview section with leading nude photographers around
the world through their words and their images.
