Nudes nominee

I've been scared to do a nude shoot for years even though I've really wanted to. I wanted to make sure that I could portray femininity, beauty, and sensuality with the body. I believe the body in its natural bare form is the most pure and beautiful form of art, and I wanted to express that without words. I chose to play with lighting and color but desired to keep any "flaws" as they were. There's perfection in imperfections.This is a piece of my introduction into nude art.

I fell in love with art, all forms of it at a very young age. Photography is a gift that was passed onto me from my paternal grandfather. I admired his and others work for years and finally purchased my first camera in 2009 when I was 19. I began with capturing images of animals and then after a traumatizing incident, took a break from art altogether for a few years. In 2013 I purchased another camera, as I had sold my first one, and began shooting again. I found my air again. I find beauty in people, animals, nature, objects, etc. I believe that anything can be inspiration and I use that to drive me. I want to make people think and feel with my photos. I want them to smile, laugh, cry, get angry, and more. I want to continue my work until my last breathe. I actually wonder what a photo in that moment would look like. Hmmmmm
