TITLE: Like a mummy

This picture illustrates several aspects of my work in nude photography. First, the use of the square format, which eliminates anything superfluous and focuses the eye on what's essential: the model. Next, not revealing the model entirely unclothed, while emphasizing the beauty of her body. Finally, a minimalist approach and the use of a single prop, a medical bandage, which partly erases the eroticism of this type of picture. This approach allows me to take a more aesthetic approach to nude photography.

AUTHOR: Eric Brunelle (Germany)

Eric is a French amateur photographer, often regarded as an artist thanks to his international awards and his distinctive vision of the nude. For more than twenty years he has explored the beauty of the female form, working mainly in Germany, Hungary, and Croatia, while continuously searching for new outdoor locations to spark inspiration and give birth to new visual stories.

His images have appeared in respected magazines, books, and exhibition catalogues, and have been presented in five exhibitions, both solo and group, confirming his place within the photography community. His artistic path was shaped by meaningful collaborations and mentorships, from early technical training with German photographer Arboulan to a deeper artistic awakening guided by Hungarian artists Szeni Jung and Sandor Benkoe, who continues to coach him today.

Eric’s work blends refined technique with emotional resonance. His style transcends conventional eroticism: each image is conceived as an homage to the beauty, presence, and individuality of the female figure. He seeks to reveal without exposing, to suggest rather than show, allowing symbols, gestures, light, and shadow to tell a story. For him, photography is a never-ending journey.

Having collaborated with more than one hundred amateur models, Eric considers photography a dialogue - a shared performance where trust, sensuality, and authenticity meet.

The best way to describe his passion is through the words of Richard Avedon: “If a day goes by without my doing something related to photography, it’s as though I’ve neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up.”
