Jessica Gildersleeve from New Nude Mag
We've seen plenty of casual nude self-portraits from IShotMyself, but it is difficult to find similar photography in the formal fine-art nude genre. Despite the fact that the really famous names in nude photography (i.e. Petter, Grigori) are all men, many female photographers are putting out some fantastic art. But this gallery is even more interesting, because the photographer, Jessica Gildersleeve, has put together a beautiful collection of fine art nude self-portraits. I've said that a photographer has to know their model to convey their person and not just their body in the image. No one knows a model as well as herself. Additionally, the interaction between photographer and model involves sometimes difficult communication and awkward exchanges. Not when the model is the photographer. I've come to appreciate the work of less well known photographers recently. I think that often the big names get a bit complacent or simply put out too much work for it to all be on a really high level. The lesser known artists, working with less pressure, and lower expectations, are much more free to express themselves through their photography, and the results are often much more interesting than anything from one of the famous names in photography.For more great galleries of up and coming photographers, check out NewNudeMag and Michelle7. Both sites are collections of the work of many photographers who might not otherwise get the exposure they deserve, and the images are often stunning.
