Artist’s Statement:
In this ongoing series i attempt to blur the lines between nature and the modern world, drawing connection between the Earth, it’s elements, and the feminine body’s natural cycles of birth, aging, and processes. By using organic materials to cover the body, such as mud, milk, and water (among others), I seek to create a closer relationship with the elements that are so closely related to birth and beginnings but that are often overlooked in today’s hyper-sterilized world of birthing and life.
My experience with the births of my own two children serve as inspiration for this series, as it was a transformative process that i have yet been able to describe in words. The realization that my body was creating a human being while I went on about my day concerned with the mundane things of daily life, was an epiphany that our minds are not the ones in control of our bodies. Instead of being the Master Control Center, the brain was merely just another organ functioning as it was intended. The development of the fetus, the birth, and the post partum phase all seemlessly worked together just as it had for millenia. It is the one true tie we all have together, and should be celebrated as such.

Fine Art Nude {tampa fine art nude photographer}
May 27, 2011
While i was in Cincinnati I had the opportunity to work with Lindsay Adler and work on this incredible fine art nude shoot super late at night (we’re talking past midnight). I love how it just seems that other creatives always seem to come up with the best work super late at night; i dont think we got to bed any earlier than 3:30 or 4 am any night i was there.
Over this next year I’m going to be focusing heavily on building my own fine art portfolio up, concentrating a lot on fine art nudes. this will be something completely separate from boudoir photography. Boudoir’s emphasis is on the sensuality and seduction of a woman, whereas in fine art nude photography the concept can be related to just the study of the form of the body, or another concept entirely- not related to sexuality at all. a lot of times it can be just a study of light and shape, of an abstract concept, or a narrative message. If you haven’t ‘liked’ SugarLeaf Photography on facebook, now is the time to do so, because throughout the year I will be making calls for subjects to be photographed. I will be looking for professional ballerinas ( i have an amazing concept for this!) and real and honest shapped bodies (stretch marks, cellulite, wrinkles, etc). stay tuned for more updates!
