These photos of a long, slender model posing on a pedestal are well lit and allow for good shadow studies. These poses are actually interesting and the poses quite graceful, even though the model has a predictably perfect physique.
I found photographer Stefan Soell’s work on a nude model website. These shots taken at a riverside location present this beautiful, athletic model against the lovely views of this location. All are wonderful references for drawing the Nude.
Here’s another excellent model from the North East. Ric Stewart is a more mature Life Model, but he’s very athletic and in excellent physical condition. A great reference for Life Drawing.
Here’s a great set of reference photos featuring a trim model with etherial qualities striking a series of “floating” poses. One can almost imagine this model as an angel or a figure in one of the Pre-Rafaelites’ paintings. Let us see your work!
