I’m choosing to talk about the photographer Leonard Nimoy. Most know him only as Spock from Star Trek, but he is also a producer, director, writer, and a photographer. He has been for over 40 years. His favorite thing to photograph is naked women. He doesn’t title his work, preferring to focus on the content of the picture. I think its awesome that someone we normally know exclusively as an actor has such a rich talent for another art form. All of his photos are in black and white. The picture above is from his “Full Body” project, in which he wanted to show women that are normally shunned from the modeling world.

Wow, Spock? Who knew? I love this concept of glorifying women who would be shunned from the mainstream modeling world. Reminds me of Diane Arbus, one of my favorite photographers who shot photos under a simliar pretense of showing beauty in "freaks" and making "normal" people look freakish.
