Mastering the art of the nude is vital in order to succeed in the fashion, beauty and celebrity industry. It's a place to be free of virtually all commercial concerns and concentrate wholly on light, shape and form. Quite contrary to popular conception, I have found that to create a compelling nude shot I had first to learn to leave my sexuality at home. It takes a personal and intimate environment to allow the subject to relax and for you to be able to control and sculpt the sitting. Any measure of sexual energy ruins the trust immediately. And surprisingly, it is in this environment of trust as opposed to sexuality where the images become the most powerfully intimate and sensual.
