about Io Figurativo
Male
Landscape photography has been a passion of mine since the late 1960s and figure photography since 2014. Much of my current work is environmental nudes, as it inspires deep connection to the natural world. I work with accomplished and aspiring models, as well as some amateurs, both in environmental and studio settings. Most of my models identify as female. They are all strong, creative and actively defining and empowering themselves. In addition, I have a growing interest in working with non-binary individuals, males with non-stereotypical body styles and men who also want to transcend stereotypes. My robust self-portraiture portfolio has also been growing, part of my interest in trauma-informed photography that promotes resiliency and healing (I am a certified high adversity resilience coach).My photography style, whether figure or landscape, includes full color and monochrome images, as well infrared shots. The portfolio tends toward deep moody shadows, imaginative settings, gentle soft focus, painterly effects from intentional camera movement, and mild abstractions. I present my images as standard prints, alternative process prints, and in handmade artwork.

Your words are very appreciated. That image was made with no lens. Check out zone plates online and it will clarify how they work. They are a fun alternative.
