This was sold as a poster under the name Passion Flower but I like my working title better. 18in in diameter, and it is not highly polished on the inside. There is no bounce at all to camera right because Rod wanted dramatic chiaroscuro, although he says, I may have overdone this - I think I had to bring her left side up a little in printing.

For the launch of Lagerfeld's new cologne after-shave I arranged for six female photographers and two male including myself to provide our own interpretations of the product. When you think about it, the rigid prohibitions on public nudity which exist in so many societies are pretty illogical. Those who go beyond an automatic prohibition will often advance the aesthetic argument, Most people do not look very attractive without any clothes on, which completely ignores the fact that an awful lot...

Nudes
From the very earliest days of photography, and indeed from the earliest days of representational art, the portrayal of the nude and partially nude human form has exercised an enduring fascination. By the early 1850s there were numerous daguerreotypists in Paris in particular who were noted for their photography of the nude Auguste Bellocq, Bruno Braquehais, Jean-Louis-Marie-Eugene Durieu, F. Jacques Moulin, Louis Camille d'Olivier and more. Some of this early work was nothing more nor less...

THIS IS A DOUBLE EXPOSURE. Switching focal lengths is a useful way to control image size in a multiple exposure, provided perspective is not a problem When switching focal lengths, the relative distances of lights and subject may need to be changed to maintain...
Jumping Nude
JUMPING MODELS CAN BE VERY ATTRACTIVE IF THEY ARE WELL DONE - AS, OF COURSE, PETER BARRY'S SHOT IS. YOU NEED PLENTY OF ROOM, THOUGH A WIDE BACKGROUND, AND A LONG LENS, SO YOU NEED A FAIR-SIZED STUDIO. Very large soft boxes create a different quality of light from smaller ones The light is a very large Wafer soft box directly above the camera and very slightly to the left, so the shadows are very soft but the modelling is surprisingly good. Because the source is so big, it also lights the...

PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO NOTE HERE IS THAT THE WINDOW IS COVERED WITH FROSTED MYLAR, MAKING IT A NATURAL SOFT BOX AND ALSO MAKING IT OPAQUE SO THAT THE MODEL CANNOT BE SEEN FROM THE STREET. curtains and the lace of the peignoir is doubly effective. Flare is of course a potential problem and unless the intention is to make a feature of it, the lens must be scrupulously clean even then, there is some evidence of flare around the model's fingers. There is a significant difference...
