There has never been a time in history when man has not tried to capture the female form, surely the greatest of all creations. Petter Hegre's vision, like painters and sculptors through time, was to use his camera to define the indefinable.
Shot over a period of five years, in Tuscany Nudes Hegre shows more than 100 photographs that pay homage to the Renaissance, the flowing contours of his exquisitely proportioned female figures against a backdrop of elegant palaces, medieval structures and the silver-leafed olive groves that ornament the Tuscan landscape. Hegre's nudes are completely natural, no artifice or accessories, the combination a blend of the classic and contemporary – the realization of Hegre's youthful ambitions.
The FOR Gallery is proud to host Petter Hegre's book launch alongside a new exhibition of his work. If you are in Florence or planning to travel there, you mustn't miss this opportunity to see for yourself the fine work of this very talented artist. The use of light and shadow, the magnificent backdrops of the Tuscan landscapes, the beautiful models incorporated into his work, all make this a great book for any fine-art enthusiast and a great gallery to visit if you're in Florence.
For those of you interested in getting your hands on this hot new book, you can visit Edition Skylight, THE place to go for all your fine-art photography book needs.
