A study in the interplay of light, shadow, texture and abstract form of the body.

AUTHOR: Pierre Burnaugh (United States)

Pierre Burnaugh a native of Chicago, has always been fascinated and passionate about photography from an early age.
Largely self-taught, he also studied Photography at Chicago's Columbia College's highly acclaimed program. Additionally, he considers the fortune of two intensive workshops during the nineties as key in honing his aesthetic direction and considerations in working with the nude. One with Ralph Gibson at his Soho studio and another with Lucien Clerque. Although he has worked professionally in photojournalism, he currently works mainly with the art nude and portraiture.
