This gallery contains nudes and implied nudes.

If you are offended by nudity (male or female) or are under the age of 18 or where viewing this is illegal ..... please LEAVE NOW ...

If I have chosen the female form in particular, it is because beauty has been debased and exploited in our sensual twentieth century. We seem to have a need to turn innocent nature into evil ugliness be the twist of the mind. Woman has been target of much that is sordid and cheap, especially in photography. To raise, to elevate, to endorse with timeless reverence the image of woman, has been my mission – the reason for my work. - Ruth Bernhard, Views on nudes by Bill Jay

When Kenneth Clark published "The Nude: A Study in Ideal Form", he could make a clear distinction: “To be naked is to be deprived of our clothes, and the word implies some of the embarrassment most of us feel in that condition,” he wrote. “The word ‘nude,’ on the other hand, carried in educated usage, no uncomfortable overtone. The vague image it projects into the mind is not of a huddled, defenseless body, but of a balanced, prosperous, and confident body: the body re-formed.”

"When people ask what equipment I use ........ I tell them my eyes!" ~Steve Denby

Art can never exist without naked beauty displayed.-William Blake

Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them - that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.
- Lao Tzu

"Failure begets knowledge. Out of knowledge you gain wisdom, and it is with wisdom that you can become truly successful."

"To photograph is to hold one's breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It's at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.” -
Henri Cartier-Bresson

All photographs are accurate. None of them is the truth. ~ Richard Avedon

If I knew how to take a good photograph, I'd do it every time. ~ Robert Doisneau

It's that I don't like white paper backgrounds. A woman does not live in front of white paper. She lives on the street, in a motor car, in a hotel room. ~Helmut Newton

I did not want to spend time thinking about hardware; I wanted that time to concentrate on the girl and the world around her. ~Helmut Newton

.. the nude is not the subject of art but rather a form of art.” Kenneth Clark 1956

"Because the skin reflects light in ways that clothes don't, because the human body is an incredible thing with curves and sinews and details that few man-made objects can dream of, because it is simple and complex at once, because it can be powerful, vulnerable, sexy and disarming simultaneously, because all you need is a camera, light and a body and you can create the most beautiful images in the world".

I LOVE Photography, being creative and creating stories/ideas/thoughts in the viewer's mind through my photography.

I shoot art nude and figure nudes because I love shooting the human body in all it's beauty. I'm not so much into vulgar, shocking or ironic... instead, soft, sensual, moody, or vulnerable, in other words .... just beautiful images.

I am a father, husband, and a best friend to women. I have a fantastic lovely wife, a beautiful smart daughter, a step daughter who just graduated from her masters program, and my best friend of nearly the last 10 years is a woman 20 years my junior.

I will not disrespect them, or any other woman by shooting what I consider "tasteless nudes". I shoot male nudes (yes, even selfportrait nudes) in addition to female nudes too because I marvel at the beauty of the human body.

I support the White Ribbon Campaign, a global initiative set up by men who oppose violence against women. Please pledge for and support this very worthy cause. Women can also give their support but it is important that men of all ages and all backgrounds say no to violence to women, in any form. To pledge go here [link] It takes only 30 seconds to do it.
