Nudes nominee

A dream, alive for a moment... then gone.
The desert doesn’t welcome; it only waits.
Step into the shimmer where the map ends
and the memory begins.

Shadows are the only things that don't lie here.

Pierre Burnaugh (b. 1964) Chicago, has always been fascinated and passionate about photography from an early age. Largely self-taught, Pierre also studied Photography at Chicago's Columbia College's highly acclaimed program. Additionally, he considers the fortune of two intensive workshops during the early nineties as key in honing his aesthetic direction and considerations in working with the nude. One with Ralph Gibson at his Soho studio and another with Lucien Clerque. Although he has worked professionally in photojournalism, he currently works mainly with the art nude and portraiture.
