I’m happy to share that this project is now becoming real: the first four photozines are available. Designed as intimate, thematic objects, they extend the series shown on this website into a collectible printed format.
I invite you to discover them and order them from my Etsy shop.
The core of my work as a fine art photographer is rooted in experience. I invite the people here to explore different practices and materials: aerial apparatus, projections, body paint, fabrics and textures. Each person makes them their own, drawing on their body, personal experience and abilities. These experiences lead to unique creations, with each person interpreting the proposal in their own way.
During the sessions, participants experiment with their bodies and with the objects and materials provided. I photograph what they do, and the resulting images are different every time.
My role is to provide a framework, then let each person make it their own. I enjoy working this way because it creates a free and supportive space, where the initial experience often leads in unexpected directions.
Why artistic nude photography?
Artistic nude photography is central to my work because it allows for direct expression, without artifice. Nudity can bring a sense of vulnerability to an image, or give it greater intensity. Once again, each person’s relationship with their body is unique and their own. This is reflected in the final photograph. I don’t retouch bodies: when people look at their images, I want them to recognise themselves as a whole.
I’m interested in people’s shapes and poses, and in how each person presents themselves in front of the camera. Each session takes shape with the participants, based on what they want to try.
My approach to photo collaboration in Lyon is based on three pillars: respect, trust, and communication.
The model can refuse any pose at any time. Ideas are discussed beforehand to build a shared artistic direction in a clear and safe framework.
A video call or café meeting is offered before each shoot. I work in an indoor space arranged as a studio, with comfort and privacy.
A contract is set for each session, and published images are selected together.
Accompanying persons are welcome if they do not disrupt the session. Finally, I do not collaborate with minors.
I’m Daniel Fine, a photographer in Lyon for nearly twenty years, originally from Briançon.
My work combines artistic nude photography, portrait, and visual experimentation. Photography is an ongoing quest for me: capturing the moment, understanding light, and revealing presence.
On this website, you will find my galleries: artistic series, portraits, everyday life images, and personal projects.
I work with both digital and film, including 6x6 black-and-white photography.
