Seraph. Strength Laid Bare : A Hardcover Anthology Of Nude Portraiture

ADVERTISEMENT

One year ago, I published my second book with Baby Tattoo called SLIP. The book explored what it means to be a naked professional, stripped bare and utterly vulnerable . I wanted to see whether I could nudge the narrative concerning how we view nudity and sexuality just a little bit forward, more for my own education as for others.

But I knew I didn’t want to end the story there.

What struck me then, was how often the models

expressed the empowerment they feel, the confidence that grew alongside and inevitably over the fear.

Naked armor, of a sort.

SERAPH is at its core, my interpretation of that experience, a way to continue that conversation, a bright and unflinching exorcism of the architecture, the retouching, reforming and reconstituting of women spat out of the culture machine.

I’m altogether too at ease crouching behind elaborate lighting, syrupy narratives and the blessed, velvety crutch of Photoshop. I put that aside for the SERAPH series.

No coverage for the models, no filters for me.

I want to tell this story the best and only way I’m equipped to. I hope I succeeded. I fucking know they did.
