Tuscany Nudes

by Petter Hegre

Shot over a period of five years, this exquisite collection of photographs pay homage to the Renaissance with the flowing contours of exquisitely proportioned female figures against a backdrop of elegant palaces. These nudes are completely natural, without artifice and accessories, and demonstrate a unique blend of the classic and contemporary. The photos feature natural light and the rich ingredients of Tuscany, including wine, olive oil, grape. With lush settings, including a 16th century home built for the Machiavelli family that has been restored to its original splendors, these memorable photographs blend the old and the new and provide a feeling of timelessness.
