Graceful Nudes - 2010
Graceful Nudes featured gallery beginning February 1, 2010.
"It takes a lot of skill to be a photographer. You need to know a lot about lighting,
photography techniques, have a vision to present, and most of all, to know how to bring out the
best of your subjects. In the case of nude photography, this means bringing out the model's hidden
beauty in addition to her visible one.
"Based on this definition, I can claim that David Allio is a great photographer, apart from the
fact that he has been taking pictures for about 40 years and has received many awards, his works
clearly show a mastery of the visual and a unique vision.
"I really like pictures that show the subtle curves of the body, the landscape of our
physical existence, the landscape that can almost resembles our planet.
"There is a great human diversity in nudes that promotes tolerance. There also is the unique
anatomy that represents the unmistakable human qualities that are a part of our beauty, and the
beauty of humanity.
"That's how art can be a window to the soul, you can learn a lot about humanity and life
through a simple piece of art, art is the creation of the human mind, and our minds are our most
precious possessions. It's seeing the world from a different perspective, a perspective of a person
with a different vision, a perspective that can make you more aware of things that you simply
didn't seem to notice.
"Who knows, maybe you will learn a thing or two by looking at those American nudes. I
certainly did." - David Roland -

Passion.
