Week 9 BOC: Nude Photography

For this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge, I found this piece of art that was just fascinating to me at first glance. The artist is unknown to me, but whoever came up with idea of this piece is brilliant. The entire idea of the picture plays tricks on the mind and makes it hard to believe which part of the person is real or fake. But, apparently this is actually a photograph of someone and not a painting at all. So that makes it even harder to decide if this is really knocking off the gravel from her skin or not.

It took me a while to find an un-copyrighted picture actually. Most of the results that came up through Google contained wedding pictures. Through a website’s forums, a commenter suggested to another comment by searching this key word: coolartiste. Instantly, I searched Google with this key word and many great pieces of work pop up. Then adding the word “nude” after the key word, I was brought to a various amount of wonderful works just like the one above. But, as soon as my eyes came across this picture, I knew I had found my photo for this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge. The art itself is very mysterious and contains a hidden message behind it that I cannot decode myself. But, I clicked over to the website that this picture is located on and was introduced to many other great works just like the one above. I just love everything that went into the making of the picture of the sculpted women. The artist was able to get the detail just perfect on each part of her skin. Which I personally love the most, since I am someone likes to notice the little details that go into a work of art.
