I’ll admit to having a crush on “JG” since the first episode of Alias. I imagine something simple involving a soccer ball and her staring straight into the camera with her striking eyes. She’s already posed nude holding a garden hose for ESPN Magazine, so I guess that idea’s out of the question. I see Hope Solo (Team USA’s goalie) as the quintessential beautiful female athlete. But I’m also a big soccer fan and have really enjoyed following the US national team in recent years. In fact, my favorite thing to shoot is women’s roller derby – an amazing sport that’s growing like crazy all over the world. And because of that, I think it’d be amazing to do the most simplistic artistic nude shoot imaginable with her. P: If you would have the chance, what internationally acclaimed women do you like to see in front of your camera? Please name three, and please tell the reason – and what would be your preferred approach to immortalise them?ĭW: Lady Gaga. I just try to make beautiful images and let the photos speak for themselves. P: Anything else you would like to say about your work?ĭW: I’m not one to get terribly philisophical when it comes to my photography. For me it’s much more about their attitude, creativity, and willingness to experiment than it is about any specific aspect of their figure. I’ve enjoyed working with models of all shapes and sizes (many of whom were trying nude modeling for the first time). But with all that said, in the interest of not entirely avoiding the question, I would say that for me, the ideal artistic nude image is one that is lit in an interesting way and contains a model who grabs your attention, either through her pose, her expression, or perhaps a combination of the two.ĭW: I truly don’t have a vision of an ideal model in my head. As the saying goes, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. What makes an image “good” depends largely on the person viewing it. And I’m quite confident that there’s no such thing as a picture that is perfect from the perspective of an arbitrary viewer. P: What is a perfect picture in your opinion?ĭW: I’m not entirely sure there is such a thing as a “perfect picture”. The female form is such a beautiful thing, it’s no wonder it has been a favorite subject of artists of all mediums for centuries. P: What’s is the function of (naked) women in your work?ĭW: They are everything. So many of his photos are essentially anonymous – a concept I enjoy exploring myself. And in Gibson’s nudes, I love the in-your-face approach in his bodyscapes. With Ritts, it’s his beautiful use of heavy shadows – one of my favorite things to play with. Though I rarely have done it myself, I love the way Newton puts his models in such a wide variety of seemingly random locations. What’s the best thing in their work? In what way is this reflected in your work?ĭW: Helmut Newton, Herb Ritts, and Ralph Gibson are three of my favorites. P: Do you have examples as photographers. Like nobody else, Dave Wood knows how to photograph what endlessly fascinates men: “The female form is so beautiful.” (Big thanks to my friend Gabi for this translation.) Seemingly inattentive and exactly for this reason desirable. They are busy with the game of seduction. Of course they’ve been keeping an eye on you, already for a long time. But that doesn’t mean that they haven’t seen you. Often they don’t look at you, the models of the American master photographer Dave Wood. The twelve images included in the magazine were chosen by the magazine’s art director from a collection of 50 images that I sent them for consideration.īelow are the ten pages (five spreads) from the magazine. To make a long story short, today’s the day that my portfolio hits the newsstands in Holland as part of the September issue of the magazine. A few months ago, I was contacted out of the blue by the publishers of this magazine and asked if I’d be interested in being featured in Kunst. The Holland edition of Penthouse Magazine includes a monthly portfolio section called “Kunst” (which translates to “art”).
