\nStone Nudes: an extract of the art of climbing. Intended to inspire and
\ncelebrate the human form. Stone Nudes draws from the community it represents.
\nOver the last ten years, a body of over one hundred photographs drawing from
\nthree generations of climbers has evolved. <\/p>\n
Unlike current climbing media, these images do not seek to sell or promote
\nanything beyond the experience.
\nThis approach has attracted climbers of all abilities to participate in a
\nproject designed to capture the essence of the climbing sprit. <\/p>\n
The art of climbing dis-roped and disrobed. <\/p>\n
Twenty years ago, Dean Fidelman asked a rock climber to take off her shoes and
\nboulder nude, and his famous series Stone Nudes was born. The stunning black-
\nand-white images of athletic figures captured in motion on cliffs in
\nbreathtaking wild landscapes have made Fidelman famous within the climbing
\ncommunity. <\/p>\n
Fidelman followed his nomadic muses around North America and the world,
\nframing them in the picturesque landscapes of Yosemite Valley; Joshua Tree;
\nMoab, Utah; Patagonia; Europe; and coastal Thailand. <\/p>\n
The sensual photographs uniquely capture the stark beauty of athletes on the
\nstone, their muscular bodies camouflaging with the formations of the rocks
\nthey are poised on. This book will appeal to those interested in climbing,
\nlovers of nude photography, as well as anyone who appreciates breathtaking
\nimages of improbable physical feats across stunning landscapes. <\/p>\n
