FOR THE LOVE OF NUDITY!! xoxo

To satisfy, my growing obsession for nude shoots, I decided to do some more reading and more ‘research’ on nude photographer and it’s interesting the history behind ‘nude photography’! Too bad history isn’t  my favorite word. Now the real deal..

Not many Ghanaians appreciate anything that has to do with ‘nudity’. I must admit I grew up to associate the word NUDE with NEGATIVE but just like everything else, that perception is gradually fading…yep.  I came across something that had me thinking twice: ‘FINE ART NUDE PHOTOGRAPHY’. I read on and got to know that, this form of nude photography is different from ‘erotic or pornographic photography’. Fine art nude, showcases pure art; the beauty of figures, lighting, shadows and movement. Let me demonstrate with images from my new-found love, André Brito.




Ghanaians can think or pretend to think what they want but NUDITY rocks! Okay, wait..now this is getting scary! I’m beginning to sound like a ‘nudity-freak’! lol. I see myself doing some more nudes..in the very near future (hehehe) some more photos from around ;)

Re-blogged: Accra By Night

Squeaky, overworked beds take over
After the lights go to sleep
And a symphony of snores crescendoes
From the chambers of the uninspired.

Everybody and everything that goes
Back and forth and back and forth
finally sweats to a halt; even if
For just a few hours till they
regain enough energy to start
Going back and forth and back and forth
All over this beautiful city again.

The mask we wear in the morning
Is not the one we greet Night with.
If you still think her softest spot
Is her heart, you haven’t found good use
For your blessed fingers yet.
Proper probing yields great results.

Accra, you’re a beautiful place to know…
At night.
