The above photos are from Trevor Christensen's photograph series titled "Nude Portraits." Obviously in the above photos no one is nude, and that is because the series is based on Christensen taking photos of his subject's reactions to him being naked. I thought this was an extremely interesting twist on the idea of nude photography. Based on the above photos, he does not have a particular tendency towards either color photography or black and white. Also in the first and last photo he seems to use a more open aperture in order to deepen his depth of field, allowing him to capture all the details in the room, not just the subject - which leads me to believe they were also taken using a tripod. In the second photo, there seems to be a shallow depth of field, indicating a more closed aperture, allowing for only the subject and her blanket to come into crisp focus while the background is slightly blurred. These photos made me feel inspired to think outside the box, and remember that there is nothing not worth trying when it comes to photography.
