Nude Photographers Self-Portraits
| I started my active photography modeling because of self-portraiture. I found it was a way to relate to myself. Anyone here mess around with self-portraits? I came across my first shots the other day, It was a great reminder of who I am, was, and always will be, no matter how many changes go on inside and outside. | |
| I love self portraits! A Spanish photgrapher named Cristina Nunez got me started in nude self photography several years ago and it's very liberating. You are bare physically and emotionally. It's a wonderful way of documenting your emotions. | |
| I will post some self-portraits as well. Real soon! :) | |
| That used to be all I did! Had to be creative with a point and shoot and no tripod though, and it was certainly limiting. | |
| Self-portraits are hard! I have tried them at times in the past, but I never have really found one that suits me. I tried some interesting ones with a cool mirror recently... if I dig them up, perhaps I'll share. | |
| Two of your standing pictures are good. Your doing ok for self portrait | |
| I took my first nude self-portrait in 1965 and I'm still making them. My first published nude self-portraits were two images in "Exposure & Design" magazine issue Vol 4, #1 August 1969 by Elysium Inc., Publishers. My first exhibit of my self-portraits was at the Intuitive Eye Gallery in Washington DC in 1979. I received good reviews by the art critics in both The Washington Post and Washington Star Newspapers. In January 1980 My self-portraits were in an invitational show "Washington Photography in the Seventies", a Different Light, curated by Sherily True at the Washington Project for the Arts. One of my nude self-portraits was included in the "Freshworks" exhibit at The Virginia Museum of Art in Richmond, Virginia. This show was juried by New York Photographer Ralph Gibson. My nude self-portraits are in many private collections in the US and in England, Scotland, Finland, Germany, France, Brazil, Australia, Italy, Russia, Norway. | |
| I've been doing a lot of naked photography of late, all of which could be considered self-portrait in nature. All done with a video camera, but which yields a lot of stills, such as my main profile photo, from a naked hike I did a few weeks ago. I really enjoy the process of composing the shots, which is really no different than with a still camera, as well as editing the video and then capturing stills from it all. Cliff | |
| Self portraits are the only way I can get nude photos of myself. I only have one friend who is into photography, but he is not a nudist. I have found that self portraits are difficult. Thank goodness for digital cameras, you can take as many pictures as needed to get the shoot you want. | |
| In addition to a good camera with built in timer is a tripod. That is how I did it. | |
| A good mount (tripod) is essential for most all photography. A timer, however, is irrelevant in this modern digital world. I just start my camera recording and go about my work. Time is no longer a factor in this digital world. You just record every second and then go use any instant of that time that you want to save. | |
| I have a friend who'll help take pics but she lacks camera skills and doesn't like to frequent nude resorts. So the timer and tripod method is my main MO for self portraits. I enjoy coming across off the wall locations and taking advantage of the situation. like I saw a map that said "Bear Valley" so I grabbed the camera "Bared All" and took a quick sneaky/cheaky photo, just in the nick of time I may add as a Border Patrol showed up just as I was putting the tripod away. Anyway my main problem is thinking of poses when I'm self portraying, so I usually just stand there like a dork... anyone have any ideas? | |
| The self-portraits that I take are the artsy-fartsy type. I like them to portray a feeling that others can apply to their own circumstance. I have just posted two new photos that are exactly what I am talking about. They are "A Lovely View" and "Cognac Naturally". It's me in both shots. Check them out and tell me what you think. | |
| SunBunny Didn't see one entitled "A Lovely View" did you mean "No Tanlines"?.. If so I like your use of shadows, shows off your curves quite nicely. Did see "Cognac Naturally" and like the way the light shines through the glass/cognac. Only trouble with having glass in a photo is the reflection within the glass, but looks like you got lucky in this time... I'd say try it again as the sun is setting, you may get a great shot. As for the use of shadows take a look at my photo's and the one of me looking through the blinds at the early morning sun... I like the way that one turned out, what do you think? | |
| Hi exbrit, Yep it's there... " A Lovely View", just checked. It's just my legs leading out towards the shore. No Tan Lines is a good one also with shadowing. I agree about the glass and what made this one tougher is that it is acrylic so it has scratches which pick up light(we don't use much glass on the boat). That is why I tried my best just to let in a hint of light to brighten the cognac and the rest of the image visually leading away from the glass. It's always an experiment, shoot and learn. I love digital. I look at your blinds and have seen many others like that. I agree that the shadowing can bring a different dimension to the image. PS: Think about joining the Absolute Naturists group. I would love to have you on there. | |
| oooopppss you're absolutly correct! I just looked at the last two pics... please forgive me, after all I am just a mere male! hahaha Ok I'll check out the other group, thanx for the tip | |
| for stills... a tripod and timer. also a multi-shot function is best, then you can catch action shots. this is if you don't have video recording device or program to take stills from recording. Example: Goody's Retreat Album... pictured with the wheelbarrow |
