Female Photography

Either dressed or nude, smiling, sleeping or crying, women have been the subject and inspiration of artists even from ancient times. Well-known photographer artists got their fame with female photography. Did you hear of Mona Lisa? Name another three paintings of Leonardo Da Vinci! You did? Then you are either studying arts or you own a gallery or art history is your hobby. So after all, it is female photography which made Da Vinci famous, isn’t it? One of the women who made many men dream with their eyes open, was Marylin Monroe. The artist photographer Milton H Green was amongst the lucky ones – you can check here some of his best works. As for nude photography, this has attracted thousands photographers to try their best.

Nevertheless, female photography is not as easy as it seems. An inexperienced photographer and an occasional model may try hard to create true works of art only to discover that their combined inexperience leads to static, uninteresting poses. This happens because neither of them knows what to do next or how to get to where they want to be. It’s not uncommon. Many photographers face it with their first experience photographing a model. It is perhaps the photographer’s equivalent of writer’s block, which occurs when an author is faced with a white sheet of paper and doesn’t know what to write on it.
