This event has ended.

Photographer Michel Nafziger envisions the female nude as a revelation. A revelation of the form and raw emotion, momentary and spontaneous, yet captured cautiously through prolonged exposure. The body’s graceful movement -- echoing the refined classicism of Venus and the Odalisque, of Velasquez and Ingres -- is enhanced by a photographic technique invoking, in its subtlety and seduction, the modernist opacity of Modigliani’s nudes. Nafziger’s first solo show in New York, featuring large-scale prints and an edition of portfolios, is a masterful revelation of his unique sensibility, at once strikingly classical and modern.

Born in Brittany, France, Michel Nafziger got his start in photography as a photographer’s assistant in Paris. He then spent two years in San Francisco, where he earned the Merit Award Scholarship of the Academy of Art College. His professional career as an independent photographer began in Paris. He started out in publicity, going on to work for magazines, Lei, Per Lui, 20 Ans, Marie Claire, ID, Elle and Vogue among others, in fashion photography and doing portraits of celebrities. His portfolio includes worldwide advertising campaigns for Girbaud, Yves Saint Laurent, Guy Laroche and Hanro.
