Description

I'd posted this a while back, a scan of a color photocopy. That version had some unfortunate moire patterns in it. Here's a new copy based on the negative I finally found. (Digression Content: Tammannie was based on a model in Lee Brones' 1990 "Pro Techniques of Artistic Figure Photography: Success Through Simplicity". In the days before a simple web search could bring you hundreds of usable nude reference images, one had to search for art/photo books that, if you were lucky, would yield a dozen useful shots. Brones' book turned out to be a treasure both in terms of useful images and, more importantly, as an instruction book. I liked his simple, practical, AFFORDABLE techniques, a refreshing alternative to books that would have the reader hire a half dozen hopefully bisexual models and head to the Caribbean or Mediterranean for a week or two.) (Not that the latter wouldn't have been fun if I could have afforded it.)
