Naked UrbEx


Naked UrbEx from Purple T on Vimeo.
This is just a trial video of some naked urban exploration.

The main part of what i'm trying to do is art nude photography, in this case within the urban exploration style. I started using video and realised it could help me view different settings and poses, not just in the derelict building type settings, but anywhere i'm on my own trying to create art nude self portraits. I also started to see how i could possibly use the video itself as a part of the art.

A lot of this come from me having been a life model for over 20 years, mostly as my main job, so although i now have a different full time job, the use of the figure in photography is very important to me.

This is by no means the finished product. I want to try and find music that may fit, i think in this one it's reasonable, but maybe not perfect. I need to also think more about what to video and how to those clips together.
Sometimes i may want to show how i go about getting photos, and other times just show the exploration. For the moment it's all about experimenting and trying find something that works well, so please bear with me and maybe help me along the way.

Earth Wizard.......On Laundry Day!

The title is a description given by a viewer on Flickr. He also said on one of them that it was "like viewing the world through an enchanted snow globe....without the snow"
I really liked what he said. He's studying art and you can see his work on Flickr here

I took these using the same Lensbaby fisheye optic as in the "Chillin in the late winter sun" post.
