My foray into art nude portraiture started with a visit to the Amersfoort home of the Dutch painter Piet Mondrian. Photographs of Folies Bergère dancers were hanging on Mondrian's studio wall. This led me to wonder---did these nude images inspire Mondrian to paint his abstract masterpieces?
I then set out to bring art and muse together. To do so, I projected digital images of famous paintings onto models as they posed freely in a darkened studio. The result was a series of composite images, each distinguished by its own unique geometry, texture, and visual appeal.
Presented below are two sets of projection portraits. The first features famous paintings projected onto models while the second showcases a more diverse set of projected decorative objects. To download a photo book with highlights of the projection-portraits, please click here.
In parallel with the projection portraiture work, I've also sought to celebrate the marvelous and whimsical facets of the female form. To achieve this, I've used the nude body as a storytelling medium. For example, in one series of portraits, I envisioned myself as a sea creature, traveling the world on the arms of considerate models. In addition, I've staged series that were parodies of domestic life, created surreal moments, and paid tribute to the countless wonders of the female form.
