I post new images every 4 to 24 hours depending on my backlog, so as not to flood your inboxes. Optimally it's one photo per day unless I've been working a lot (and then it's only 4 or 5 over a 24 hour period; never 30 or 40.)

Blacklight work

Flash Player 8 is required to view SitBack. Get the latest version of Flash Player.

As one of the first digital photographers to ever shoot a blacklight series I have stayed at the forefront of the technology, including using 100% invisible inks and custom UV lights and lighting rigs made especially for me by RiskReactor.com.

_{I love that the effect created by the model's legs gives her the look of a beautiful mermaid. Classical curves and beauty offset by the blue dye running out of her hair. Urban Mermaid by =UniqueNudes (Suggested by ~ladysky and Featured by `scottb)}</i>

_{Seventeen Girls by =UniqueNudes was suggested by its own author, although I was going to feature it anyway, so I loved the courage! I'll now transcribe his comment: "I recently did a shoot celebrating the diversity of the female form. I had 17 models from all over the Southwestern United States; all races and all sizes. (Seriously! 96 lbs to 275 lbs.) It was a really neat shoot, and although it has gotten a lot of positive attention, I think it's exactly the kind of stuff that will bring a positive light to the AN gallery and I would love for it to get some more exposure." (Suggested by =UniqueNudes and Featured by `Helewidis)}</i>

_{Brita Shive by !princess-irulan UniqueNudes wrote the following: "I realize it might be considered "cheating" to suggest my own image on somebody else's gallery, but this series would not have worked without Amy's amazing expressions and style as Alex. Amazingly, this was her first ever (non self photographed) nude shoot, and she did one hell of a job. Also, I am amazed that a model as talented as this one has not yet gotten a DD for her work as a model!" (Suggested by =UniqueNudes and Featured by `Helewidis)}</i>

The Art of Richard Rasner
Artist | Professional | Photography

United States

_{My name is Richard Rasner and I am both a professional art photographer as well as an accomplished photojournalist, although art is my main job and source of income. My fine art work is currently shown in museums and art galleries worldwide and I also tour the U.S. quite frequently on book signing tours and photo safaris.
Before the economy woes forced its closure I also toured the music festival circuit with Mojo Republik Magazine (a division of Universal Records) as their lead staff photographer, shooting bands such as Billy Idol, NIN, Panic! At The Disco and many more. I now shoot for KCXX Radio and my own magazine (Nakayama Studios Magazine) doing the same thing.

My first nude photography book "Whispers of the Mind" was a best-seller on Amazon.com in 2006 and there are numerous documentary films about my work. I am quite friendly and approachable, so if you have any questions, ask! You can find me at my book signings and gallery shows of my work, as well as at my photography workshops which are taught through the Erotic Heritage Museum's "Education Outreach" program as well as at my own studio. I have curated art shows at The Apparatus, Box Office and AMP Galleries and I have also worked for Laura Henkel Fine Art as an *actual* gallery director, in the real brick and mortar art world.

I currently reside in Southern California very near Los Angeles, which is where my main studio (Nakayama Studios Riverside) is located. I also have studios in Beijing China & Anchorage Alaska, and plans to open 4 more in the next year. Note me if you would like more information.

With a name like "Unique Nudes" I am constantly looking for new models and ideas, so if you're in Southern California or Southern Nevada and you want to help me create art, please contact me at info@uniquenudes.com.}

Nakayama Studios LLC is headquartered in Southern California, with studios in Riverside CA (Unique Nudes) Anchorage AK (Cold Mountain) & Beijing China (JJR).

Stuff is looking good! I'll be re-signing up to your website since I forgot my login. Also I'd actually like to pay this time around

Too bad I never got to shoot with you! If you ever need an EMT for a piece, let me know!

Much love <3 Your work is fantastico~

=UniqueNudes 5 days ago Professional Photographer

There actually isn't a current pay site... I'm revamping the website so now it's all free photos of the day and if you want to download an entire series you can here on dA for just a few points.
You're still welcome to come in and model, and I may need a new EMT since my current one just had a new kid.

cheers!
-- Richard
