The March issue contains a special called “my nude” and it’s published once per year (every March).

There is also an interview and some insights in the dark room, documenting the “birth” of a wet plate collodion image (press play in the slideshow box presented to the right of the page) with new collodion work as well as some older wet plate images which I did last year.

The interview is in german language :) Enjoy.

After a long journey, spanning 4 countries and 22 locations during a period of almost 12 months, my exhibition collection arrived safely back home with no damages or any losses.

30 images, matted and framed, each one 100cm on the long side.

It’s really nice to have them back, but pretty soon they will be on the road again… this time more east :)

Back from testing and shooting that took place two weeks ago, I could not wait too long until developing the new film. I was curious like a cat how the images would come out. A really BIG surprize and much better than expected.

I have tested the Rollei Universal 200, a black&white medium format film manufactured by Rolleifilm (http://www.rolleifilm.com) under conditions I normally use to take my pictures, including lots of structures, harsh light and deep shadows, using reflective clothes fabric and also a huge red scarf to test the red sensivity of the film.

What I can say now is, that the film honors the right exposure/metering with an immense amount of details and fine gradients from pure white to deep blacks.

I’m going to write a review with example images pretty soon, but for now I just wanted to leave these lines here and praise the film as my new film for the next shootings.

Have a great weekend, take care,

Vernon Trent

It is the dream of every photographer when renowned film manufacturer invite one to test their new products.

I am invited to test a brand new product release and the best is, that there is no restriction or a given roadmap for the test.
Just doing it my way, with my style and my visions with tons of film at no costs.

The test will be accompanied by a journalistic article and will be published worldwide.

I’m looking forward to the test and also to having a good session with 5 models at a very cool location. YAY!

I went yesterday to the gas station and had a quick look at the newsapaper stand while I was waiting for my tank to fill up. I saw the new issue of Stern View, best pics of the month and found the above shot published.

Stern View – April 2009 Issue

I felt pretty much excited because is one of my favorite shots I did with Madame Bink. Besides of that, the shot was also chosen as “Nude Image of the Day” at One Model Place.

You guys have a good start in the week.

Cheers,
VT

In the USA, the “Section 2257 law” dates from 1995. In recent months photographers have realized that it applies to photographers of the nude, to fashion photographers, to glamour photographers – to explicit nudity or subjects of eroticism or sexuality.

Effective March 18, 2009, Section 2257 expands via a new statute, §2257A, to encompass simulated activity and the entirely new “lascivious exhibition of genitals or the pubic area.”

“A Photographer’s Guide to Section 2257″ provides analysis of §2257, its statutes, and the regulations.

Stephen Haynes - A Photographers' Guide to Section 2257

Topics covered include :

1. What photographic subjects are covered and why,
2. What the law requires,
3. What records must be kept, and how,
4. What labels must be placed on photographs, how and when,
5. How photographers may expect to be inspected by federal authorities,
6. What the “Safe Harbor” certification is and how it may be acquired.

Includes an Appendix containing the full set of regulations implementing §2257 effective March 18.

Available at Lulu.com. More info here.

Stephen Haynes is a photographer and resident of Minneapolis, Minnesota. One of Univers d’Artistes‘ contributing editors, he is a highly respected artistic female nude photographer. He holds a law degree from the University of Chicago Law School and is now retired from legal practice.

a leap forward
the universe
learned to expand
in time
and in space
humans
superior cynics
their world
is fashioned
they lose
sight of the way
no wonder
they don’t understand
the art
as expression
I will
still capture
my imaginations
and put them
in a pattern
so grand
and complex
forming
a world
sensitive
open
and strong…

lived to love
retaining your magic
in my memory
your name’s beauty
in my hopeless eyes
time
stay forever
whiteness
from empty spaces
discovering
the world
on the ground
how contemptuously
laughted
the beauty at time
but unfortunately
the time
ruins also beauty…
