Many photographers have wanted or do want to shoot nudes, in painting circles the nude has been a well covered or should we say uncovered subject for centuries. Art classes have been studying nudes for years and most art students would of studied the nude. Nude photography on the other hand often has a stigma attached to it and prevents many taking on the subject which is a shame, the human body is a natural and beautiful subject to study.

A few months ago I put my name down as a contributer for an online magazine so I could start building my portfolio and confidence as a live shooter. There is no pay for this but it's a great time and I am getting to see bands I'd never see.

So, what have I learnt so far? read on....
