Nude Daguerreotypes / Erotic Ambrotypes

I've just discovered that the alternate process photographer known as "SweatNapper" is now displaying his nude work on two (new to me) websites.

I love this guy's stuff. The vintage techniques he uses bring an amazing ethereal feeling to the work that is absolutely unique.

Enjoy both of these sites.

Model Profile - Meghan Claire

My old friend Chris Triance-Martin wrote in to tell me about how much he enjoyed working with model Meghan Claire.

Her portfolio is impressive, both as a model and as a photographer in her own right. Well worth a visit.

Some beautiful work across all the portfolios on the website of this Polish photographer, but the nudes are in the "People" section.

the death of youth

The photographer (identified only as Giovanni) behind the lo-fidelity nudes at Death of Youth wrote in to share his site. Though this style may not be to all tastes, the work has a clearly developed aesthetic that must be acknowledged.

Patrons take note! Rik's also fund raising for a solo exhibit in the UK. Make a donation at various levels and receive postcards, digital prints and more. There's only about 2 weeks left, and he's 4/5ths of the way there, so hopefully Art Nudes can put him over the finish line.
