ATLANTA -- BodyTour is an intimate nude figure study of Pebbles Martin, an exotic figure model from Stone Mountain, Georgia, USA. The ten-images exhibition is a face-to-foot creative exploration of the colors and textures that are a part of her stunning natural beauty.

"Confidence and trust are required to allow an artist creative and uninhibited exploration of your body. It also takes a great deal of beauty. With this figure study, Pebbles has proven that she has both," Allio said. "I remain in awe of her grasp of artistic creativity and her willingness to share her beauty."

Figure studies are one of the earliest historical records of drawings. This type of image remains one of the basic building blocks for creative artists. What began as drawings evolved into sculptures, paintings, and now photography.

The original studio nudes of this exhibition were created using professional Nikon digital cameras and lenses. Illumination was provided by sunlight through northern exposure windows.

Professional photographer David Allio was born in 1955 in the Commonwealth of Virginia, USA. He is a graduate of the University of Virginia with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Communications and Visual Arts. His fine art nude figure artworks have been exhibited in prestegious art galleries around the world.
