Project 02: Sculptural Shapes – Exploring unusual body lines and negative space

Moodboard

The Sculptural Shapes project is a study of the human body as a living sculpture—an exploration of form, balance, and movement. Inspired by classical and contemporary influences, this series transforms the nude figure into an artistic composition, where light and shadow carve depth, and poses evoke strength, fluidity, and abstraction.

Shot in a controlled studio environment, the project emphasizes precision in posing, with models engaging in dynamic yet structured movements that highlight the sculptural qualities of the body. The interplay between tension and relaxation, angular lines and soft curves, creates a visual dialogue between motion and stillness.

This series is about reducing the human form to its essence, stripping away identity and narrative to focus purely on shape and composition. Props, if used, serve as extensions of the body—enhancing rather than distracting from the organic flow of the image. The lighting is carefully crafted to sculpt the figure, whether through high-contrast definition or soft, ethereal illumination.

Through Sculptural Shapes, I aim to challenge perceptions of artistic nudity, celebrating its role in fine art while dispelling outdated misconceptions. The collaboration between photographer and model is central to this vision, ensuring that each image is a celebration of artistic integrity, professionalism, and creative freedom.
