The first photo of mine to appear in print was a shock/comedy nude, entitled "personal grooming/false color". It took second prize in the Helmut Newton competition put on by PHOTO, the French magazine, and appeared in the April 2001 issue. The prize was 4 photo books by Taschen, valued at about $65Cdn each.
WARNING: If you're offended by graphic nude images, Don't Look! It may be seen on their website at www.photo.fr/concours/gagnantsnewton/gagnants2.html . The image appears sort of washed out on the website, but in the magazine it looks rich and saturated. Another of my nudes appeared in the November/December 2002 issue of American Photo. It's a more classic style of figure studio, in natural color. It was one of 120 published finalists, out of 50,000 entries. I submitted several other pictures at the same time, none of them nudes, but that's the one they chose. Pat White
