This site exhibits sepia-toned photographs of female nudes in an unusual and rather painterly style; it also offers them for sale as 14x11 inch prints on long-life archival paper  (see Purchase and Contact). A formative and inspirational influence upon them has been the work of the great American photographer Alfred Cheney Johnston, who in the 1920s produced many beautiful studies of New York society ladies and actresses, and photographs of semi-nude and nude girls, some of whom were appearing in Florenz Ziegfeld Jr.'s Ziegfeld Follies. Tastes change, but the nude studies are arguably of a quality seldom equalled since, and seem to justify the often repeated statement that they are brilliant renditions of Ziegfeld's stage presentation of 'Woman as Goddess' in photographic terms. Study of Johnston's work gives the strong impression that he had an instinctive feel for what looked right in a picture, but he had studied art as a young man, and appears also to have drawn consciously and extensively on earlier artistic conventions and motifs. Thus, it may be that he frequently draped shawls over the legs of his models because he was attempting to imitate the beautiful way in which light strikes textiles like silk, and also jewellery and groups of still-life items, in the works of seventeenth-century Dutch Masters such as Jan Vermeer and Rembrandt; perhaps his occasional use of musical instruments also owed something to Vermeer. Certainly Johnston's nude studies seem to fulfil at least one of the requirements of good art - unlike much of the work done in this field, they bear repeated scrutiny. This is the spirit and the tradition which have shaped the images on this site, produced by a British photographer based in London. He thoroughly enjoys operating from the platform provided by the Ziegfeld Follies nudes, would like to thank the models who adapt themselves so well to little-used poses, and hopes that those who view his work share the pleasure he has in creating it.
