Art Nude in Public

Over the past decade I have photographed hundreds of people for my Public Bodies series. In this brand new course I set up a series of real life nude in public shoots and I bring you along to see every step of the process.

Nine different models are featured in this course. Steph and Matt travel around Iceland shooting at a diverse range of locations with dramatic backdrops.

Model Reyna is shot in the lush tropical rain forests of northern Australia. Sensual and sassy Prai is photographed in an abandoned factory (an eventful shoot that saw a dog run away with her clothing and Matt step on a nail!)

Jojo braves busy Manhattan as we explore the island shooting in a variety of areas including 5th Avenue, Central Park, the subway and in the back of a Yellow Cab! In Downtown Las Vegas Matt and a model explore the old world glitz and glamor. Matt also heads out into the Nevada red rock desert during an extreme heat wave to shoot with model Jess.

Finally Matt heads out into the California desert with a male and female model to create sculptural and artistic duo images.

Diverse Locations

Universal Photography Principles

Throughout this course we shot in about as diverse a series of locations as you could imagine. We shoot Steph among Icebergs, in a field of flowers, at Europes most powerful waterfall, in meadows and lava fields. 

Other shoots are in desert heatwaves, in wide open plains, and in bustling New York City. We shoot in front of moving water, in the back of Yellow Taxi Cabs, walking down 5th Avenue Manhattan, and climbing trees in nature.

You will learn how to:

- Identify locations and execute location portraits quickly

- Direct poses for maximum impact

- Create elegant & sensual art nude portraits

- Work with the available lighting conditions to craft dramatic images

- Edit to a theme and create a cohesive series of images.

Nude Location Portraiture

This course is all about location portraiture - making the most of what is available and crafting images that fit your vision for the shoot. 

We sought out some spectacular locations, but the challenges we face, and the lessons Matt teaches are applicable to all forms of photography and all locations.

We shoot:

- Outdoors in hard sun, shade and dappled light

- Indoors in low light, backlight and diffused light

- Using a minimal kit - mostly a single camera and  lens

- Fast! Given the variety of locations we wanted, we focus on finding the best scene and outfit, working with the available light and getting the shot quickly.

The package includes a dozen raw image files, a brand new set of editing presets and a PDF list of all equipment as well as a bonus eBook Public Bodies.
