Ghostly Nudes
Editing, Gothic Nudes, PortfoliosMany of these ghostly nudes were taken in an empty house which was due to be demolished. The walls seemed to hold echoes of the past. It was easy to visualise the ghosts of previous occupants wandering through their empty rooms. Maybe it takes a creative leap to see them as attractive naked women.
Victorian Style Portraits & Nudes
Boudoir, Editing, Glamour PhotographyI have always been a fan of the Victorian and Edwardian style of portraits and nudes. Apart from the techniques and the almost exclusive use of daylight illumination they seem to have a cheekiness and risqué feeling .
Naughty Greetings Cards

This sexy Spanish girl was photographed on film many years ago. I decided to try an recreate an image similar to the popular paintings seen in Woolworths and similar stores in the 1970s.
Painting Nudes -Painter Essentials
EditingPainter Essentials 7 Auto Paint
For the last few months I’ve been tinkering with painting nudes in Painter Essentials 7. The auto paint setting is fairly easy to use when photo painting nudes but it wasn’t producing the results I wanted.
There then followed a lot of painting, layer blending, erasing and quite a lot of cursing to achieve a better result.
Digital Painting Nudes
Boudoir, EditingDigital painting nudes from photographs using Corel Photo Painter Essentials
I am still playing with digital painting nudes using Painter Essentials and getting a little nearer the results I want. I’m using the auto painter in oil painting and pastel modes and them tweaking the results with various brushes set to clone from the original.
Photo Painting
Boudoir, EditingI’ve been experimenting with (Ok mucking about with) photo painting using Corel Painter to convert a photo into a painting.
