Nudes nominee

This fine art photography series tells the story of the imprisonment of a fiery soul. The red fabrics symbolizes passion and savageness, but also blood and anger. The series about the confinement of human's primitive desire and raw emotion. Ultimately, it is about frustration that lingers deep in our heart. The shapes are inspired by flowers, blood, organs and other organic objects. My favourite one is the corpse flower in the fourth image. A corpse flower spends most time being dormant. When it blossoms, it’s the largest flower in the world, yet the foulest. No one can stand its smell.

William Ye is a 26-year-old self-taught portrait and fine art photographer based in Toronto, Canada. William’s passion for fine art photography ignited 3 years ago, and since then, he worked hard to form his own photographic style under the influences of many artists, including Salvador Dali, Erwin Olaf, Jennifer Hudson, and so forth. William has received several awards and honorable mentions in various International level photography competitions in the past, including IPA, One Eyeland, PDN and IPOTY. William’s current focus is on fine art male form. He hopes one day to break the taboo of male nudity in the main stream art.
