If you buy art nude photography, or are considering starting a photography collection, consider this black and white photograph of a woman. She is depicted swinging from a chain, supporting her weight with both hands. She wraps her legs around the chain as she gazes in the direction of the viewer. The angles of the chain, her body, and her flaring hair is the subtle evidence of her swinging motion. One might conceive that this is the moment after she has leapt into the air and grabbed the chain in mid jump.

The display is a demonstration of strength and balance. Her body, from head to toe is suspended above the ground, held up by her own power. Both of her legs and both of her arms are bent. Physique is taught, illustrating the musculature of her lithe figure. She bends her ankles, pointing her toes straight back from her legs, displaying her feet at a deliberately theatrical angle.

She looks forward confidently with an equally theatrical expression. Her lips are parted and her expression makes her pose seem effortless, contrary to the undeniable physics involved in her position.

She is nude except for a pair of long black socks that cover from her toes up to her knees. Her body glows brightly against the dense background. Her hair and socks, as well as the top and bottom edges of the image, provide deep tones that contrast with the brighter elements in the image.

Highlights on the chain emphasize its metallic luster. The shimmering chain runs from the top of the frame, where it is secured to an unseen support, down the front of her body, then drapes over her raised thigh.

Despite several sensual elements and her beguiling expression, the overall impact of the image is relatively chaste; enough so to become artwork for your living room.

You can buy art nude photography like this image directly from the artist’s studio. Consider additional black and white images such as some sensual black and white photography or if you prefer more brightly colored images you can collect contemporary photography featuring bright pallets.
