Many Douglas Simonson paintings begin with a photograph that came from a Simonson male-nude photo shoot. Did you know you can read the story and see behind-the-scenes photos from these sessions? The artist has documented many of his photo shoots in his Artist’s Diary blog, which you can reach by clicking on BLOG in the header at the top of every Simonson website page. Once there you can browse all the entries by date, or click on the subcategory Male-Nude Photo Shoots. On that page there are currently over 30 photo-shoot entries, with more in the works.
Check out the Artist’s Diary Blog now, or go right to the Male-Nude Photo Shoots page.
