Nude Photography – 8 Photographers and their Muses
The Surrealist Man Ray created a body of work that was inspired by not one but two muses. Firstly his female nude works with Kiki of Montparnasse, a Parisian cabaret singer and artist’s model. Together they produced many notable photos, for example the ‘nude torso with reflected shadows’. And secondly with Lee Miller, Man Ray collaborated with her, both in the studio and in the darkroom. Together they created an original collection of work that combined surrealism with eroticism. Lee Miller is also credited with the accidental discovery of solarisation, which was used to great effect on a series of solarised nudes.
In the 1930′s Edward Weston’s lover (and later wife) Charis Wilson, played an important part in his work. She inspired his art, with poses portraying elegance and glowing sensuality. These photos were finely balanced compositions with light and shadow. They produced a collection of nude studies that included the famous Oceano Dune series. As his muse she directed her own poses, whilst he photographed her body shapes and the light that played upon her. Charis also contributed the writing for his photos.
In the 70′s David Bailey published his ‘Trouble and Strife’ book. His model, muse and wife was Marie Helvin, and she inspired this collection of sensual portraits (nude and semi naked) which depicted their professional and private life together.
In 1988 Gunter Blum turned to photography and he became fascinated by the model Sylvie (later wife and muse). Between them they worked together and produced atmospheric photos of strong powerful women. After his death, Sylvie became a photographer in her own right and continues to this day creating similar photography.
Over the last two decades Mario Testino has photographed his muse and friend Kate Moss, for many fashion houses and front covers. Testino was drawn to her by her beauty and spirit. Recently he published a collection of his private photos of her as homage. His style of photographic intimacy has produced many fashionably sensual erotic photos.
Two photographers of note are Luis Durante and Petter Hegre. Luis Durante and his muse and girlfriend, Idoia produced a collection of painterly nude photographs of her. These photos were enriched in colours that breathed the atmosphere of the Spanish Golden Age of the Grand Art Masters. And Petter Hegre with his muse and wife, Luba Shumeyko. Luba, who is herself multi talented in the arts and an accomplished fashion designer, was his ideal partner. Together they created and published their sensual nude photos on the newly arrived internet, and found immediate recognition. They have so far collaborated on several books.
Finally in this list of exceptional photographers is Rankin, who’s pursued a career of edgy photography, and recently published a fashion related art book ‘Ten Times Rosie’. For this project his muse was the fashion model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Together they created a collection of photos to celebrate 10 seasons of the fashion house of Thomas Wylde. And if proof was really needed, here it showed that nudity was not always essential to create sensual erotic images.
Whether the muse is inspirational, a gifted beauty, a guiding light or all of these, photographers will continue to create exceptional nude photos thanks to their muse.
