uhhhh

This photograph is by Thomas Karsten. For this blog I wanted to include nude photographs because I shot nudes for one of my roles. The reason I think this relates so closely to my assignment is because you cant see body language any more closely than in a nude photograph. In the nude photographs you see everything exactly the way the person is positioned. Even this photograph includes two people they are still sitting in a way that shows so much. The difference between the two people is amazing.

This photograph is by an artist named Declan McCullagh. I found this photograph by in a google search on nude photography. THIS IS HOW I SHOT MY PHOTOGRAPHS! I only had one person and again, this shows two. But I swear I saw this photograph before I saw it--in my head. It is exactly what I was looking for. This close-up shot and how it shows so much more than just knees is exactly what I'm trying to get in my photos. I love how you don't  need to see the rest of the bodies to know whats going on because of the angle and composition!

I believe this photograph is by a man named B. Martin Pedersen. but I couldn't find a clear answer to that question because of the way this website was set up. I shot dancers for my assignment early. Before I knew exactly what I wanted. However the most significant part of those photographs to me was the close up shots of their movement. Looking at this photograph is interesting to me because even though it isn't how I shot mine, it shows the exact form in a way that makes the viewer get somewhat stuck. I would still like to see this closer in and focused on a specific part of the body.
