Male art nudes is a fine, fine line. One photographer whom I’ve had the pleasure of watching evolve in his style is ivysgrandkid, a 19 year old from San Francisco who really knows how to tame lights.
I don’t know how he was trained or what he uses, but there’s no denying his style is artistic and elevates the human anatomy to a statuesque level — thanks to his effective use of lights. His lighting lends a sculptural quality to his subjects, equal parts light as well as shadow. His lighting is brave and self-restricting.
If a strobist is one who knows how to control light, would there be an opposite to that? A shadowist? A negatist? It all sounds not so glamorous, but once you see what I’m describing it will all sound beautiful.

made my morning!!
in other new's I'm waiting for an update on my dad , mom told me last night he couldn't stand and would not stop shaking .
now I have to call school and cancel everything for fall as the stupid director in charge of verification hasn't called me back even after I left him a message! and I know his office will be too crowded for a visit.. I could have done so much with that aid money! get my teeth done, and even pay off a larger portion of my card. urgh!
