The female body has been a favored subject for many works of art through the centuries. This can be seen in the many female nude photographs during the early 20th century, when many artists and movements were promoting photography as a fine art. Among the group of advocates for the arts was American feminist pictorial photographer Anne Brigman, who is know for her nude photographs depicting women in primordial, naturalistic settings often in the Sierra Nevada mountains.
This book was inspired by her.
I wished to create a series empowered by natural embodiments, depicting women as natural beings that are powerful, fearless, beautiful, artful and infinite. Choosing to show both femininity and nature embracing one another, as one an the same, I wanted to project an emotional intent that could be interpreted by the viewer in their own personal creative way.
