≈ Comments Off on Free Signed Print Giveaway (Fine Art Nude)
I’m giving away some signed prints for the holidays! First up is an interesting 8×10 gelatin silver print I have that was made from a scan of a Mamiya RZ67 Polaroid that I took back in 2006. If you want a free signed copy of this, go to my Facebook photography page, “like” it, then send me a FB message telling me you’d like to have it.
If I get more than one person interested by the end of the day this Monday (12/3), I’ll randomly choose someone, get your mailing address, and send it to you! Note: must be at least 18 to win.
Chapeau by Michael Grace-Martin (8×10 gelatin silver print from Polaroid scan)

Self-portraits at 50

So I turned fifty this year (May 2012) and have thought about commemorating it (sort of) by doing a series of self-portraits.
Mike @ 50
However, I find myself with mixed ideas or purposes for this project.
One idea is to do a somewhat enigmatic, “tongue-in-cheek” series. The project would place me in a sequence of situations that would make sense for a 50 year-old man, though perhaps a bit skewed.
Mike @ 50 (enigmatic sample)
The other direction I was considering would be more narcissistic.
I’ve kept myself in relatively good shape for a man of 50 years old by visiting the gym a few times a week (for many years) and eating a mostly low-fat, vegetarian diet. So my thought was to do nudes or partial nudes taking advantage of this body in which I’ve invested so much time and care (especially before I get much older).

In any case, I’ll be attempting to do some sort of self-portrait project this year, and maybe–just maybe–I’ll end up with a cohesive series at year’s end!

Day at the Farm (male nude)
07 Wednesday Mar 2012
Posted in All, MGM's Photos, Nudes
Although Upstate New York has some urban areas, the vast majority of it consists of pastures, forests, farms, and rocky gorges. Due to this, it is an ideal place to photograph natural environmental nudes.
This series features a male nude rollicking on a small farm in the Finger Lakes area. Damaris Vasquez of Damaris Photography assisted.

The fine art nude holds a special place in Michael’s photography career. It’s the second photographic subject Michael has pursued in earnest, after only the subject of children.
He began with self-portraits, but soon progressed to working with other models in late 2003. The photograph “Playing into the Light” (a photo of a woman playing a violin topless) is from that first session with another model. Since that session, Michael has worked with various models in various settings: homes, an old dance studio, an old barn, a marshy swamp, a gorge creek, and even on a rooftop.
Michael prefers presenting his nudes in black & white and sepia, but uses color when the colors in the photo appeal to him.
These fine art nude images and more can be found at Art vs Wall Gallery.

Sarah Ellis by Michael Grace-Martin

Sarah Ellis 2009 by Michael Grace-Martin
Back in late October of 2009, I did a fine art nude photo session with semi-famous fine art nude model Sarah Ellis. Sarah has posed for many photographers–famous (including people like Renée Jacobs and Terry Richardson) and not famous.
Our session went 3 hours, and in addition to shooting stills for those 3 hours, I also had a videographer shooting along side me.
Sarah Ellis (not her real name) was a joy to work with and very professional. I hope to work with her again someday, but it has become quite a bit more difficult since she moved away from Upstate New York out to Seattle, Washington.
Sarah Ellis Video
I’ve only posted a few short clips (just over a minute each) of that 3 hours of video at my YouTube channel. However, I’m offering one longer uncut version of a session we did in one of the bedrooms. It is approximately 21.5 minutes long and you will see and hear me and Sarah talking about different poses, angles, lighting, etcetera.
The video is a large (over 500 megabytes) 854×480 resolution digital file in .MP4 format–a video format that plays on most computers and devices. You can download and play it on your computer for $6.00. or “rent” and watch it for 30 days for just $3.00.
Buy & Download for $6 or Rent for $3:
Sarah Ellis Photo Prints
Want a more “physical” likeness of Sarah? I’ve chosen 15 of the most popular prints from the photo session and printed them as 15 full-bleed, gelatin sliver (professional Kodak) 4″x6″ prints and put them into their own convenient 4×6 clamshell box. You can open the box and slowly look through the stack of prints–much like you would with a high-quality photo book–for enjoyment, inspiration, and provocation at your own leisurely pace. I will ship anywhere in the US.
Here are thumbnails of the 15 photo prints (click to see larger):
Sarah Ellis eBook
If you would like to see the photos we got in book form, you can purchase an ebook containing the best 72 photos from the session as awesome high-quality images for just $6.00. You won’t be disappointed, I promise. Here is a low-resolution video preview of the eBook:
