Back from Tuscany, Grounded in Zürich
This past Monday we packed up our rental car for the long journey home from Tuscany. We were fortunate to have had three weeks at our second home in San Quirico d’Orcia, but it is always sad to leave. This year we offered two one-week fine art nude workshops and it was relaxing but depressingly quiet after everyone departed.
However, both workshops were a fantastic success. Students in the first week were beginners in fine art nude photography, but everyone turned out some amazing images. During the second week, the students focused on developing their personal style and for some, it turned out to be a deeply personal and engaging process.
Below are some of the student images from both weeks. As soon as I am able, I will post more details about both weeks. At the moment, I should have been on a plane bound for NYC, but I contracted an infection from a cut on my foot while running around Tuscany, so I am grounded until this thing heals up.

I am in awe of that photograph of the girl on the wicker chair looking out of the window holding her ankle-the process you used gives it almost a black and white feel and yet subtle colours show-bloody great
I would like to know the secret behind taking photos like the one by Fabian Q. How do you get the models skin to look that soft?? Is their studio lights etc. involved, after work in photoshop or is it possible to achieve this kind of effect in a natural way?
Thanks for the comments. THe image of the girl in the chair is a split tone black and white image processed in LightRoom 3. The image by Fabien Q was shot in natural light with a reflector bouncing sun light back onto the model from the left, this image was also processed in LightRoom.
lovely photos Bryon . It really shows you the true beauty of the female body in its most basic form in my opinion.
