Product Description
Product Description
Figure studies of 12 female professional nude models taken over a 4 year period. The beauty of a dozen women is brought out in both indoor and outdoor settings. Whoever designed the female human body did one heck of a job, didn't they? Artists of all types - painters, sculptors, photographers and others - have been attempting to show us their vision of it for thousands of years. It's been done so many times, by so many people - wouldn't you think that someone would have finally created the perfect rendition by now? No one has done it yet, nor will anyone ever do it. We have always been fascinated by the female human form (and we always will be). Inside this book are a few examples of author/photographer Gary Melton's vision of the most popular subject matter for artists since the beginning of time. Gary's work is all about capturing light and shadow so that a photograph's two dimensions appear to be three. It's also about accentuating women's natural beauty, while still giving you subtle hints about their sensuality. Come look "through Gary's eyes" and see what he sees. Give your eyes a treat. ** This is the Standard Edition **
About the Author
Born and raised in Dallas - Gary Melton is a Texan through and through. His journey into the world of photography began years ago with the purchase of a 35mm single lens reflex camera at a U.S. Army PX in Budingen, Germany. Shortly after leaving the service, what started as a hobby and grew into a passion, became an enterprise when he started a part-time portrait, team and event photography business. The magic of picture taking lost it's charm for him, though, when it became apparent that taking photos for money was a lot more about business than it was about art, so he closed the business after a couple of years. Flash forward a couple of decades when he decided to renew his passion, but in a different direction that he felt sure would be more interesting - female figure photography. He was right, and he was also a natural at it. It took a while to make the transition from film to pro-level digital, and it also took some time learning to find the necessary artistic connections with his models - but as I think you'll see, it was worth the time and effort spent.

Okay
25 April 2010
Format:Paperback
I can only review this book on how I could find it useful, which would be as a reference book. If you're looking to do figure drawing or some such art, this is an okay book to pick up. Some pictures are better than others, some more overtly sexual than others. But a few of the photos are actually quite pretty.
