For any of you that will happen to be in Bloomington, Indiana over the next month or so, here's an interesting exhibit that runs until April 1st.

Organized by guest curators Herbert Ascherman, Jr. and Jeannette Palsa, As We See Them presents the work of eleven artists who are using some of the earliest photographic processes to create contemporary images dealing with sexuality and the human figure. This diverse group of photographers has put aside digital technology to explore the possibilities of these 19th-century processes.

Carrie Leigh

From modeling for some of the true giants in the field to becoming an internationally collected photographer in her own right, Carrie Leigh has had an exceptional career in the fine art nude field.

Even more impressive, she's also the master-mind behind the excellent, Carrie Leigh's NUDE magazine, the only print periodical that is fully dedicated to fine art nude photography. Putting my blog together sometimes feels like a big job. Launching an internationally distributed magazine is mind boggling!

Her magazine has done a lot to help nude photography gain legitimacy in the broader art market and to promote photographers working in this field, so I am delighted to feature her work here.
