DUE TO LEGAL CONCERNS YOU MUST BE 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS CHALLENGE

It’s time to get into the artistic side of Photography with Self Portrait’s in the Nude. Don’t worry, as the title says, they need to be blurred, so we’ll be working with movement, long exposures, soft focus and other hide the essentials techniques.

Remember, this is all about ART and NOT PORN or full on nudity. B&W is also an essential technique to focus to the artistic endeavor…

 

Before we even get started you need to get in the mood set and comfy in the nude in front of a camera. I suggest you read this article :

About Steve Troletti

I'm a Location Scout, Editorial, Nature, Wildlife and Environmental Photographer based in Malibu, California. I specialize in Nature and Urban Nature photography including Infrared Landscapes. The Bulk of my work takes place in the Los Angeles, California area, Greater Montreal Region, Canada, Switzerland, France and Varese in Northern Italy. Ethical wildlife photography is the main priority and focus of my work. A minimum disturbance of the animals, their habitat and the environment is my top priority. This applies as much to total wilderness areas as it does to urban nature environments. Ongoing education of environmental issues and building awareness for the protection of wildlife and wilderness areas around the world is what drives me to document the beauty that surrounds us.
