Art Model, Author and Singer St Merrique












Aaron Feinberg is a Photographer from Kauai, Hawaii (USA).

Working mainly outdoors, like Jason Tag from Hawaii too, for sure a question of magic landscapes, Aaron has a true predilection for BW photographs.

That said, I've discovered a man with a poetic vision of the nude combined with a wonderful sense of the composition. Do I need to talk about his so expressive art models, his lights, etc. including his outstanding talent ? No, you'll see it in each image of this too short feature.

In fact, Aaron has touched my poet's heart. And big cherry on a delicious chocolate cake with a lot of "crème chantilly", he's one the kindest artist I met and who gives a true sense to this : "do the things seriously but never take yourself seriously" !

Therefore I'm very happy and proud to welcome him. Thanks a lot Aaron ! What a wonderful work.





Once you get in my head...

"Alone"
Art Model AJ Jerome










Well... not all about me.



"Apocalypse Now"
Model Sabrina





I have come into photography after playing a game of cat and mouse with the medium.



As a child there were courses at summer camp, the gift of a camera here and there, but nothing really grabbed a hold of me. Always the interest but never the true desire. Then, while ski bumming in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah, with a little point and shoot someone saw something in my ski photos and said “Hey, you should keep shooting”.










"My Only Friend"
Art Model Wolfpup







"Stary Night"
Art Model Rachel











"Ascension"






Since that day I have strived to capture the world as I see it and improve every day.


Mostly self taught, I draw inspiration from photographers I’ve met along the way, whether in person or through the endless world of the interweb and thank them for pushing me (unknowingly) to reach ever higher.

And for those of you who want to know more... just ask :-)

Welcome George Schmauch







George Schmauch





Personal Quote : " Inside this room, all of my dreams become realities, and some of my realities become dreams..."






"Time Traveler"
Art Model, Photographer and Makeup-artist Carly Erin O'Neil





You'll find George Schmauch at deviantART, Model Mayhem.



















"Primary Colors"
Art Model Candace Nirvana




The sense of the supernatural.


George Schmauch, travels a lot. In Photography. You'll admire here all the facets of his talent.

George is American, from Pennsylvania, a lovely state.

He likes to read H.P. Lovecraft or William Burroughs, Jorge Luis Borges, what means a lot, and his favorite photographers are Ellen von Unwerth, Bernd Hilla Becher, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Helmut Newton... what means a lot too and again. Of course.

A zest of classicism, the perpetual search for The expression (he's an "expressionist" afficionado), a lot of imagination and something to tell us, check the symbols in his work, here and there, I've found all that walking very slowly in his gallery.



















"Oh God We're Out of Pudding"
Art Model Zinn Star












I've also noticed that George works with the most talented Art Models, I want to say the most creative ones, those I call the muses : Candace Nirvana, Carly Erin O'Neil, Stephanie Anne Landers, Jessamyne, Zinn Star... And we feel in his photographies how much they inspire him.

Last but not least, his interest for the old typewriters makes me say : he's a writer too. I'm sure. Observe his titles. But this is another story... he will tell us himself.

"Une chaise, une femme, une pomme"
Art Model Zinn Star




"...is the name of my humble photography venture.


'Zeitgeist' is a German word which means literally "Time Spirit", in normal usage the word is used to convey the 'spirit' of a particular era.


My work will in general also attempt to capture elements, moods, landscapes, and characters from bygone eras, from the Romantic and the Gothic, to Film Noir and Retro fashion.

Art Model and Actress Stephanie Anne Landers

Art Model Kacie










Artist Statement



"Hammond Shifts"




" In a glance we know its shape, its function. Though now obsolescent, we can immediately identify the device. However upon meditation we may begin to see that a typewriter is not a singular unit, not "one thing" but many things.

Each typewriter is the sum of hundreds, perhaps thousands of finely crafted interlocking components. Each piece is unique in function and specialized to the myriad of manufacturers and designs that flourished at the beginning of the 20th century. See it as the engine of office drudgery and bureaucracy, a piece of functional sculpture, or as a modern mechanical symphony of moving parts, gears and levers. Only see it."

Welcome Kevin Stiles


















"Lady of the Stares"
Art Model Lady Eastwick










"Divinity"
Art Model Lady Eastwick





The first nude shooting of Kevin Stiles was in November 2008... But it's not a sudden passion.

As a very experienced painter who taught art during more than twenty years, Kevin has always been attracted by the female curves. Artistic nude photography is simply a new way he wanted to explore since a long time, with success as you see it. And I'll add : of course. Because the shadows, the colors and the composition have no secrets for him.

So, Kevin Stiles photographs talented nude art models since seven months... with amazing results. Consequently, here is a new contributing artist that we'll follow step by step.

Welcome Kevin !












" I am a classically trained fine artist who went to Paier College of Art in Hamden, Connecticut, Usa.

In order to make a living, I got my master's degree from Southern Connecticut State University and taught art for over twenty years at the high school level.










"Special K Yoga"
Art Model Kristianna




My real passion in art has always been portraiture and the female figure.

My paintings and drawings almost always lean in a surrealist direction and I find Remedios Varo to be one of my most inspirational influences.






"Light and Shadowplay VI"

Art Model Kristianna




As far as artistic nude photography, that's an area I've long wanted to explore and did my first shoot with Heather K in November 2008.
That experience opened my eyes to how much fun this whole genre can be.




"Heather in Shadow"
Art Model Heather K



Each new time is like a reverie... it's such a natural high for me - that it reawakens my soul.


My initial interest in shooting models was to utilize the imagery I capture and transpose them into one of my surrealist creations. I did that with Heather K and I am currently working on a piece from a recent shoot with Lady Eastwick.










"After the Fall"
Art Model Heather K










Acrylic painting on masonite, based on this photograph I took of Heather K :

I do have future plans with several other models to begin exploring the wonderful world of outdoor nude photography.

Welcome Scott Brown








You'll find Scott Brown at deviantART, a feature in The New Nude Mag.









"Feelin It"
Art Model Joceline









"Walk Away"
Art Model Joceline




Scott Brown
is an Australian self-taught photographer, which means a tough apprenticeship, a clear preference for outdoor shoots, shared by a large majority of Australian photographers... and, of course, a deep and obsessive passion to become the experienced and successful photographer he is now.

His main focus is artistic nude photography, but Scott works in a wide range of styles. Portrait, art, casual, fashion, swimwear, glamour, nude, nude art, all is fine for him, the essential being to shoot and shoot again, to gain more experience.








"Classic Kollaboration"
Art Model Dravien




It's what we love at UdA : artists who know they learn every day, even from their errors, which often are happy hazards, obsessional artists who don't take them too seriously but who believe in what they do. Scott makes part of them.
And it's a pleasure to welcome him on board. A great one !







"The Light"
Art Model Halohid










"Spray"
Art Model Serpentinekiss














" If you have gotten this far you probably realise that my name is Scott Brown. I am based in Sydney, Australia, which is full of fantastic locations for photoshoots.

I have been taking photographs for years now as a hobby which in the past few years has turned to an obsession.










"Dual"
Art Model Anne





My focus was generally on nature and landscape. Having had no formal art or photography training I have found myself learning from trial and error - well some trial but mostly error ! That has meant many rolls of film, and in more recent years, somewhere in the vicinity of 40,000 digital photographs.

I did my first model photoshoot about 4 to 5 years ago and I haven't looked back since.

I have always loved art and I finally found something that I am at least not totally hopeless at. My first nude photoshoot was in January 2005 and now I have done several.
















"Prop"
Art Model Joceline



Generally I prefer to do outdoor shoots over indoor/studio work and I love mixing human form in with nature.


I also find that outdoors is more relaxing, fun and adventurous. It gets my mind working more creatively."












"Soft"
Art Model Halohid










They have worked with Scott... Let's hear them :






"Cave Girl"
Art Model and Illustrator Moonpanther




"Scott Brown is the very first photographer that I did a nude art photoshoot with... and to be able to do that feeling completely comfortable is amazing. Scott is genuine, funny and very professional (but in a way that makes you feel completely relaxed working with him). Not only have I done many shoots with Scott but he has also become a good friend. I recommend Scott to any model wishing to do fine art photoshoots."
Tash Williams









"Lost in Fantasy II"
Art Model Serpentinekiss














"Fernwoods IV"

Art Model Baci




"I am writing in reference to Photographer Scott Brown and whilst on location with him, doing a photo shoot of September 07. Scott depicted the type of photos that I had aspired to achieve, as currently in my final stage of pregnancy. Not only was Scott professional in his approach - he made me feel assured and relaxed to get the result I was ultimately looking for. The pictures are clearly a stand out in terms of art and taste. It was a pleasure to work with Scott and I highly recommend him."
Tracy










"BRAE II"
Art Model Aurora




"Scott is the type of photographer who makes you feel at ease. He is extremely talented when it comes to shooting interesting angles and lighting. I did my first ever shoot with him and because of the positive experience have built a love for modeling. I would recommend him to anyone who wants a brilliant picture and would work with him again any day of the week."
