NUDE Magazine in jeopardy

Photo by Carrie Leigh |
I was saddened to hear this week that due to the closing of the Borders chain of bookstores, the good folks at Carrie Leigh's NUDE magazine have lost their major real world distribution source. Their website states that they are in the process of exploring their options.
Here's wishing this fine publication the best for their reinvention. Please support the people that support photographers like those I feature here.
Here's their blog post on the subject.

Carrie Leigh's NUDE
The good folks over at Carrie Leigh's NUDE magazine wrote to let me know they're selling off their back catalogue. If you're a collector or a completist, here's your chance.
Here's Carrie's blog post explaining the situation.

Here's the direct link to their shop.
FYI, I receive no promotional consideration from this magazine. I just appreciate the good work they do getting fine art nude photography into print.

A Special Thanks
I'm extremely fortunate to have many of the readers of this blog submit sites for possible posting. I'm very grateful for each and everyone of you. Some only submit one or two links, others like my friends Eric Kellerman, JJ Andre and Chris Triance-Martin have been sending links in on and off for ages.
However, today I want to publicly thank two of the real unsung heroes of Art Nudes. I don't always credit the links they submit because there are so many, but between the two of them, Nicolas Taillard and Michel Nahabedian have probably submitted over 100 links to some truly amazing photography. Without their contributions, my life would be much harder and there's a good chance this blog wouldn't still be here.
So, to you two I say:
Nicolas Taillard - Merci beaucoup!
Michel Nahabedian - Vielen dank!

Guerrilla Glamour
I'm excited to announce that one of the photography bloggers I admire most, Jimmy D. of Pretty Girl Shooter has published his first e-book, entitled Guerrilla Glamour
For those of you that don't know him, Jimmy's a long time professional glamour photographer who's forgotten more about photography than most of us will ever know.
In his book he shares 101 pages of lighting set ups, information of finding and interacting with models, post production, and gear selection, all described in his own inimitable style. Specifically it is focused on making great pictures without overly complicating your shoots or bankrupting yourself with expensive gear.
For $9.95, it's a terrific deal, and whether you're a glamour or fine art shooter, you will certainly pick up some valuable information from this book.
By way of full disclosure, if you buy his book using the links I've provided, Art Nudes gets a little piece of the profit. However, I swear to you, I would have posted the same enthusiastic review even if Jimmy hadn't gracefully offered to share the proceeds. So, buy his book, increase your knowledge and support two fine photographic blogs!

Special Guests!
This week I was more than delighted to welcome three very special guests over to my house when photographer Dave Aharonian came by with two of the best professional art models in the business.
Candace Nirvana (left) and Stephanie Anne Landers (right) happened to be traveling through the Pacific Northwest and fortunately for me they both made it to Victoria. Even more fortunately for me, I was able to have a fantastic shoot with Candace this past Wednesday, and I'm shooting Stephanie Anne later today.
Both of these women are sensational models and charming people. If they happen to be traveling in your part of the world anytime in the future, don't miss the chance to hire them. Your portfolio will thank you!
Here are their respective Model Mayhem profiles as well:
