Fine Art Nude Photography by Jon Morrison
“We are a professional photography business based in Launceston, Tasmania and have over 20 years experience in the industry.
Jon, as the photographer, specialises in portraiture and commercial genres. He also has a passion for (mainly black and white) artistic nude and human form photography and our framed works sell in fine art galleries to clients from all around the globe. Our book “Jon Morrison: nudes” is a celebration of this artistic work and is available for sale at various outlets and from this website. Jon was born and raised in the town of Kilmarnock, Scotland, and later travelled the world courtesy of the British Army. Having journeyed halfway around the globe, he met Tasmanian-born Leanne and now calls the island of Tasmania, Australia, home.Leanne focusses on the graphic design, technical and administrative side of the business.
With the artistic nude and human-form photography, Jon draws inspiration from many sources. The influence of industrial, man-made and historical backdrops is forever evident in his location photoshoots. From ancient ruins and landscapes in Scotland to the hydro-electric power schemes in Tasmania, we are forever scouring the countryside for new locations.”
Fine art nude photography is not images taken by men for men. It is meant to be appreciated by all, putting women on a pedestal for their true beauty – not crass, tacky, confronting or inappropriate – rather the tasteful contrast between the female human form and our social denials.
This remains congruent with Michelangelo who said “What spirit is so empty and blind, that we cannot recognise that the foot is more noble than the shoe, and skin more beautiful than the garment in which it is clothed”. This shapes my belief and vision in portraying the female form in my fine art nude photography.
The black and white genre allows me to follow my passion and contrast the settings and backgrounds used with the female forms in the images. In this way the all-important use of light allows me to highlight particular parts of the human form and allow the viewer to interpret the rest.
A selection of JonĀ“s fine art nude photographs can be viewed at his website www.jonmorrison.com.au in the “Fine Art Nude Gallery” and also on this nice fine art nude videoclip.
