"Throughout the history of art, the nude figure has been a primary carrier of both ideal form and human expression. In ancient Greece, the nude was concerned with the body as a metaphor for spirit. Some of the great masters of photography, including Imogen Cunningham, Edward Weston, Ruth Bernhard and Alfred Stieglitz photographed nudes in the landscape.

In this workshop we will explore photographing the nude in the landscape and the relationship between the female form and the elements of nature. Instruction in composition, establishing a relationship with the model and with nature, how to give direction, plus digital infrared techniques and more will be covered. The workshop will begin with a slide presentation, followed by hands-on photography in a private location."
