Two premier fine art photographers, Olaf Starorypinski and Scott Nichol share their very different visions of the female form as expressive subject. Each artist will show works from series that evoke the passionate and the pastoral, the industrial and the ephemeral.
Out Takes
i’ve found over the past year or so that when i choose to work with a given model, the characteristics i look for have changed significantly. as a young, inexperienced figure photographer, i tended to look only for beautiful features, great figures, and a certain kind of hair style that i might think would workContinue reading “Out Takes”

I later found out that my submission had been accepted for publication in the magazine and that it would be appearing in the February issue.
