Adams' nude photographs can be seen in galleries across the world and he has worked as a professional artist, film director and photographer winning numerous awards. The beauty and grace of the female form has captivated artists for centuries. Now in the digital age, photographers can still capture the nude body with artful sensitivity and Adams gives us a rare glimpse behind the scenes of his photo shoots, showing us how to use accurate techniques to achieve stunning and organic results. His models are curvaceous and beautiful and look serene even if lying across a bridge in the countryside or wrapped in paper against a tree or a bottom sticking out of a black, bottomless cove in a cliff face creating a feeling of unease. The use of reflections, correcting exposures, retouching with Photoshop, working with natural light, and common courtesies when working with non-professional models all require hard work and patience to make a secure environment, and finding the right location is just as important as finding a suitable subject to create a coherent image. Plenty of buttocks and bosoms and beauty on each of these 176 large pages published by the Photographers? Institute Press. Softback, 17.8 x 25.4cm.
