Art collectors who buy black and white photography often appreciate the bold statement and nuances in nude images.
A woman stands in an expanse of darkness, clinging to thick strands of braided rope that are attached to some unseen support above her. The rope forms straight lines and right angles, creating the impression of a rectangle that frames her torso and adds a touch of modesty to her brazen pose. The lines of the rope connect the figure to the top edge of the frame and bridges the points between her hands.
She looks forward with a calm, peaceful expression. Her body and the rope are lit more brightly than the surrounding space, emphasizing the contours of the nude woman.
She is centered in the frame. The two ropes intersect the top edge at even thirds and form a horizontal line midway down the composition.
The color pallet is predominantly deep tones of dark warm gray. The protagonist’s body glows in light to mid gray tones.
Around her neck is a symbol on a necklace. Three arced shapes, intertwined like a continuous knot, the ancient triquetra symbol is clearly visible upon close inspection. Woven within the three piscis shape shapes is a circle, a variant of a Celtic Trinity knot.
Whether you regularly buy black and white photography or are buying your first fine art nude, consider this image or perhaps something along the lines of colorful artistic nude figure photography.
