The 130 fine art nude, monochrome, photographs within this monograph were made between 1996 and 2014 in the location of Trent Park, London. Christopher much prefers the organic qualities offered by film and the aesthetics of the square format. He used a variety of equipment, including Twin Lens Reflex, pin-hole, Holga, Diana and various vintage cameras, to create the images within this book. "...sensual nudes that pay homage to the female form in a manner that is both graceful and elegant. Very rarely do we come across a portfolio that strikes us so deeply..." - The New Nude Magazine

Christopher John Ball BA (Hons) MA is a widely exhibited and published, award winning, London based, fine arts photographer, writer, campaigner, curator, arts juror and lecturer. With over 45 years experience as an artist - his work is held within public and private collections worldwide. His art work, views and opinions are very much in demand and he has contributed articles on photography, the arts, politics, philosophy and other topics for various international publications and media outlets. Christopher was selected as a juror for both the 2008/09 'Erotic Signature' annual international arts competition and the 'Erotic Review Photographer of the Year Prize 2009.' In 2011 Chris sat on the international Jury for the 2011 '12 inches of Sin' competition and juried exhibition sponsored by the Sin City Gallery, Las Vegas and organised by Dr Laura Henkel. The '12 inches of Sin' juried exhibitions/competitions were repeated each year, for 6 years, from 2012 through to 2017, again with Chris sitting on the selection committee. Given that he has been disabled since youth - Chris maintains an active role in the campaign to promote disability awareness and rights. Drawing inspiration from philosophy, film, music and disability politics; Chris believes that how we see ourselves, alongside our objectification by the camera, society and the state, takes the form of an existential challenge and his work is an exploration of this rationale. Whilst his work covers both social documentary and fine art, his methodology is consistent throughout. His images explore and play with the 'sense of distance', 'lack of access', the 'mundane banality of modern life'. The themes of a 'sense of distance' and 'lack of access' have become increasingly important to Christopher as his disability deteriorates. The reaction of 'others' to a visible impairment can often be hostile leaving one feeling an 'outsider' 'looking in' 'abject' and 'kept out'.
