The Naked and the Lens
by Louis Benjamin
This is a very well done book, just published in early 2010 by Focal Point Press. I'd wholeheartedly recommend it even if I WEREN'T included in it! It is a very comprehensive book covering a range of subject matter, including some history of nude fine art photography and how it fits into the context of fine art photography in general. It includes lots of information on techniques and methods relevant to photographing the nude in a fine art context - perfect for anyone who wishes to make their first forays into the field but also good for anyone wishing to improve their skills. These tips cover everything from basic setup and lighting on through digital darkroom workflow. There are many wonderful examples offered throughout the book, from many different artists. The author kindly included one of my images on page 12 and four more along with an interview on pages 215-220.

Nudes (Camera Craft)
by Anna Henley
This is a lovely book, just published in June 2003 by AVA Publishing. It's part of a series of "how to" books. It features the work of quite a few photographers, describing how they made each photograph. The photos are grouped into sections like "Working With Light", "The Male Nude", "The Female Nude", "The Commercial Nude", "The Artistic Nude", etc. There is a lot of really good information here, and the photographers all share a lot of their philosophy of photographing the nudes as well. Four photographers (including me!) were chosen for a special section with interviews. Eight of my images were chosen for this book, including the cover.
