This series began in 2002 of gathering my nude photos combined with textural landscapes.

The how-to is using one nude negative in the enlarger, exposed 1/2, set in light-safe drawer and another negative of textural landscape completes the photograph. A physical white paper drawing outlines the general shape of the nude, and then the landscape is introduced onto this outlined drawing, set into the enlarger, which completes the other 1/2 of exposure. An interesting tactic includes a fogging filter, which softens the darkest values. Many of these are then sepia toned.
