The October print of the month is the 10th photograph in the 2014 Print of the Month Portfolio. The Print of the Month Portfolio is a collection of 8x10 silver gelatin photographs. All photographs are made by Kim Weston. He develops, prints and mounts his work for presentation. All photos are made from film. In this series he used his Mamiya RB67.
This month’s POM “Wyoming Music Lesson” was originally inspired by a Helmut Newton Polaroid. It was taken at the YL Boyer Ranch at our Nude in the Landscape Workshop, co-taught with Mark Comon from Los Angeles. Stay tuned for “Palm Desert, Music Lesson”. I hope to continue my Music Series at our next workshop adventure to Palm Desert and Joshua Tree National Park. Palm Desert Figure Workshop September 15 – 20, 2014. Want to join us? Come with us and make your own Music Lesson Series!
"Kim Weston - Wyoming Nude with Lemons" The August Print of the Month from the Wyoming Nude in Landscape Workshop is the 8th photograph in the 2014 Print of the Month Portfolio. Kim really loved spending a full week at the YL Ranch. One of the aspects of the workshop he really enjoyed was staying in the same location and photographing for 5 days in a row. Everyone ate their meals together and got to know each other a little better. This gave everyone time to discuss how the (nude model and or landscape) days shoot went and how to improve upon it for the next day.
The July Print of the Month is a continuation of the series from the Wyoming Nude and Landscape Workshop. Kim was exploring the symbolism of the 3 Graces, here are 3 Angels and one has fallen from grace.
This specially priced photograph is available for purchase for the month of July. Shop now!
We are in Spain on the last day of our 7 day workshop. On our last day of shooting we are at a private 10 room hotel, Casa Vesta in Zufre.
The June print of the Month was another fun one to create with Larva. The beautiful light coming in through the window. We used the same piece of sheer fabric to soften it and bring texture to the image. This is one of my favorites from the series so far.
Only 3 weeks away until our Spain Nude Photo Workshop. We still have a few openings left. Sign up now for one of the most amazing photographic adventures of your life!

The May print of the Month was a fun one to create with Larva. We both loved the location. The ascending stairwell with great light coming in the window off of the landing. To catch the light we used some very sheer fabric tumbling down the stairs. This softened the hard edge of the steps and added more mystery to the scene.

I always look for the light when I photograph. And when I set up a photography shoot during a workshop I am often thinking of metaphors between the model and some other object or her surroundings. I do this to tell my story.
In this photograph I am using the painting of the bird, for me this symbolized the bird being caged. Hanging the material from the window, having the model behind the veil or lace, longingly looking out the window, symbolizes her being trapped, like a bird in a cage. I enjoy traveling to teach workshops. I used to build all of my sets now I primarily shoot on location.
Our european (summer) nude photography workshop will be held in Spain this year. Starting out in Madrid and traveling down the coast and back. We will be staying in castles and visiting palaces. This is the perfect backdrop for me. Just as it was when we taught a photography workshop at Hospitalfield in Arbroath, Scotland. Maybe you can join us! Check it out!

One of the best features of photographing nude models on the ranch in Wyoming was the play of light that came in through the windows. Working with these models, who were very comfortable in their space and with each other was a great flowing experience. Even with planning out the photo shoot, there comes a time where things just fall into place and your vision connects with your camera and you make good art. This happened to me while I was photographing with my RB67 camera at our photography workshop last summer.
Kim Weston’s new 2014 POM series will be photographs that he created at The Nude in Landscape Workshop last summer at the YL Boyer Ranch in Wyoming. He studied, planned and gave his models homework before they started photographing. Since they were there for a week it gave them plenty of time to get a feel for the area, light and atmosphere of the ranch.
Kim believes this portfolio is his best work yet.
