Untitled Nude III Photograph

Lindsay Pitts is a fine artist who uses her camera to explore the human form. Thematically, her work covers a wide spectrum. On one end, it explores the body as a sculptural abstraction; on the other, it employs the camera as narrative tool, placing her subjects in stories suggestive of desire, longing, and loss. Working exclusively in film, Pitts' photographs are rich in tones and textures that can't be captured in digital photography. Shot entirely in black and white, the starkness of her work allow the humanity of her subjects to shine through with a hypnotic vividness. The result is a body of work that is often grippingly beautiful--and always evocative.
