High-Quality Photos of the Human Figure for Artists

Live Model Books provides artists, illustrators, and others needing human figure references with high-quality, full-color photos that showcase the figure in a 360-degree rotation. The resources include books, disks, and downloadable content, making it easy for artists to find specific poses on demand. The Art Models project aims to enhance the understanding of the human form by offering quality reference materials for in-depth study. The images are captured using specialized lighting, studio space, and camera settings to closely replicate the experience of observing live models. A variety of formats are available to ensure affordability and convenience for artists. The human figure presents a complex subject, characterized by intricate light and shadow, color variations, and a range of angles and curves. Social taboos often complicate the availability of nude art models, making the study of the figure even more challenging. The initiative seeks to address this issue and promote the practice of figurative art.
