C dropped by my Pasadena studio this afternoon for a fine art nude session. I won’t go into why she decided to pursue this session here on my blog, but let me simply say that she was an amazing 52-year old subject. Here are two of my favorites. Both show a small departure from my usual fine art style. As such, these images remind me that I should revisit this genre and further expand my fine art nude portfolio and focus more on clients in Los Angeles looking for fine art nude photographers.

These images represent my entry in the 2010 Wedding & Portrait Photographers International (WPPI) "Non-Event, Informal" category of the album competition held in Las Vegas, Nevada. I was honored with a score of 88. Upon further review by the judges, I was awarded 2nd place in the category. I feel extremely honored by the award and I wish to thank Janine for her patience and perseverance as we created this work.

"C" came by my Los Angeles studio for a fine art nude portrait session. She first heard of my fine art nude work through her friend who I hope to see later this month. Although these photographs were to celebrate this time in her life, I believe she also plans give a print to her boyfriend as a Valentine’s Day gift. If you were giving one of these photographs as a present, which one would you pick as your favorite?
