Mike Crawley’s Photographing the Nude is a thoroughly practical and inspiring guide for photographers of all levels. It begins by setting out a number of basic skills: nude photography shares many of the same technical problems as other areas of portraiture, and developing a sound understanding of the basics is the key to success. Mike demonstrates a wide range of classic lighting techniques, from soft diffuse lighting for a romantic mood to contrasty lighting to emphasize the contours and musculature of the body. Knowing what poses are good for figure work is also essential: specially c

As exploited and colonized people, California farmworkers have attracted such massive, overwhelming photographic scrutiny that today their story cannot be told, studied, or understood without engaging the photographic dimension. Although the work of Dorothea Lange and other photographers from the 1930s often comes to mind, virtually every photographer of consequence at some time, for some reason, photographed in the fields of the Golden State. This includes such unlikely twentieth-century artists as fashion photographer Richard Avedon and commercial photographer Max Yavno, along with the ninet

Storms and long, exhausting hours at high altitude in open cockpits with minimal instruments and no oxygen supply were routine. Some died. Until these heroes returned from World War I and ventured into "unexplored territory" in primitive flying boats, only southern stretches of the Dominion and some wa
