Features: When Liu Haisu wrote the preface for World Nudity Photography (1988), he stated: "Nudity art has a long history. Long before the Christian era, Greek sculptures were masterpieces of the dawn of human culture, and ancient Rome also valued human figure sculpture. The rich heritage of nudity art became the source of European art. After the long night of the Middle Ages, the Renaissance gradually restored the vitality of nudity art. Since the rise of classicism, the human figure has served as an aesthetic object, a subject for creation, and a means of basic training, playing an irreplaceable positive role to this day." Foreign art academies have offered nude model teaching courses for hundreds of years. In China, modern art education introduced nude model sketching starting with pioneers like Li Shu Tong, and it has had eight to nine decades of experience. Practice has proven that offering nude model sketching courses is highly beneficial for both the basic education of art and the development of modern civilization. To meet the needs of nude model teaching and creative reference in art academies across the country, we have organized the shooting and compilation of this small album, Practical Nude Model Photography.
The album is divided into four poses: lying, standing, kneeling, and sitting. Most poses are captured with a panoramic view to help learners gain a comprehensive and accurate understanding of the movement patterns of human bones and skin in a particular pose. The images are all shot by current professional nude models from Chinese art academies, following teaching requirements, ensuring standardized poses and healthy appearances. The photography pays attention to aspects such as lighting selection, tonal control, and texture effects, which are key concerns in modern photographic art. This approach better explores and portrays the youthful beauty, health, and vitality of the human body, making the images highly appreciable.
