Art Models 5 : Life Nude Photos for the Visual Arts [EPUB ebook] 
Life Nude Photos for the Visual Arts

Whether for work on a finished piece, trying a new technique, or getting in some practice time, this figure study enables artists to work when and where they want with their choice of model and pose. This book in the series features 12 new male and female art modelsas well as Becca from the previous bookin a collection of poses selected by readers and visitors to the authors’ website. The contrast has also been increased in many of the photos to provide deeper, more challenging shadows. While the guide includes individuals and couples with a wide range of body types in natural, relaxed stances as well as some inspired by classical works of art, the primary focus is on dynamic posestwisting, scrunching, reaching, and even fighting. Poses are precisely lit, revealing every area of the model, and have been carefully chosen to illustrate important effects such as foreshortening and perspective changes. A judicious amount of photo retouching is done, not to make the models more glamorous or plastic, but to remove distractions that detract from the essence of the models. Each photo may be zoomed in on specific body parts to achieve a higher level of detail. This ebook does not have the full 360-degree views of every pose. If you would like all the views of all the poses, please see the Companion Disk or print book with disk.
