I’ve got a bunch of incoming traffic since saturday last week.

XoverIP Photoblog is listed at Art Nudes and my Google analytics reported 21,016 unique visitors from Art Nudes during the last 7 days. All I can say right now is just WOW :-)

Thanks for your visit, thanks to Michael Barnes who arranged the listing.

Cheers, Vernon Trent

Looking upon the art of Vernon Trent, one cannot help but wonder, “Where does such a rich imagination combined with ability to capture the beauty of the human form originate?”
That question becomes even more beguiling after meeting the man behind the art. An imposing figure of a man, Vernon’s outward appearance betrays the sensitivity and perceptive nature of the man so apparent in his art.

His journey to the art you see before today began as a child. When most children his age were playing games and attending parties, Vernon was honored with his very first photographic exhibition. At the “seasoned” age of 10, his talents were already recognized by the local photographic community.

Continuing to gather inspiration from the relationship between light and depth of field, he focused his evolving talents on the eternal expanse of nature and the man made wonders of architecture. His insatiable hunger for new challenges moved him toward all photographic subject matter.
The next challenge to fold into his repertoire was product photography where as before he excelled.

But even keen talent cannot propel a man to the level Vernon has achieved without the textures of life experience and raw tenacity. When most artists would be satisfied with the comfort and security of repeated success, Vernon challenged himself yet again, moving to the difficult and overcrowded world of nude photography.

“Combining the sheer beauty of the female form with emotional elements sometimes incongruous with the sensuality of nude photographic art elevates Mr. Trent’s style above the rank and file”

is a quote that best describes Vernon’s unique style in an artistic field littered with “me too” imagery.

As you become immersed in Vernon’s chosen art form, you will often find yourself mesmerized by the textures, subject and lighting. Yet the most striking aspect of his art is the sensitivity and emotion that holds a viewer immersed and will occupy your mind long after your eyes leave his work.

Vernon Trent was born in Romania in 1967 and he currently resides near Dusseldorf, Germany.
His exhibitions include European as well as United States venues such as, Munich, Frankfurt, Bocholt, Ratingen, Duluth, San Mateo and Chicago. His print recognition include Photomagazines and various photographic reviews.

Photograph & review by Mark Kitaoka

I have posted one image at Vazaar in the theme “In Your Face” and Craig Martin asked for a tutorial how this Image has been created. I won’t go too deep into details, because I think most of you are familar with the basics of photoshop, with terms like blending mode oder using brushes to paint with light or using the standard filters provided by Adobe with Photoshop CS 2.

So here you go :-)
