Nudes on the internet are great, but there’s nothing quite like being able to physically hold a quality magazine in your hands (and away from the PC).
The New Nude has been created to bring sensual, high-quality, and cutting edge figurative photography to the world in a magazine format. Printed on a quarterly basis, every issue features over 100 pages of full color artwork and detailed information about the photographers. Combine that with reviews of the latest trends in books, photography equipment, as well as the art market, and you have a magazine delivered right to your door (everywhere internationally) that covers every aspect of what has to be the most complicating and fascinating genre to ever hit the spotlight.
The New Nude Magazine is also accompanied by the launch of The New Nude On-line with full access limited exclusively to subscribers.
We’re sitting tight and waiting for our copy of the magazine to hit our mailbox. We’re excited! We’ll review it once it’s in!

The creative work of Belgium Photographer Jean Van Cleemput, a photographer well known for making images that some would consider high art and others simply over the top (be sure to check out the “WAR” series, also, an interview, and some images over at Hoard).

“I do not find the human body intrinsically beautiful. But I want to be clear, I don’t mean to say that I find it ugly. The body is no more ugly than a lump of clay. A lump of clay on the sculptor’s pedestal is neither beautiful nor ugly, it is a mass with potential beauty. It’s beauty lies in what it can become. The same is true for the body. It is the things it can do-the shapes it can aspire to and become-that is beautiful.”
Some interesting, classic, body as landscape photography by Tamara Lischka.

New York based Designer and Photographer Symon Chow has that whole Carnivale feel to his site (reminds me of sugarcut). He’s adds a nice faux vintage style treatment to his photography which makes his work worth checking out.
