Human Natured: Newfoundland Nudes is a visually stunning collection of
Sheilagh O'Leary's black and white nude photography.
Nude photography is a uniquely intimate art form: stripped of clothing
and pretense, the model shows the viewer, “This is who I am.” Through her
camera lens, O’Leary explores the beauty of the human body, while illustrating
the vibrancy of the human spirit. For O’Leary, geography is an essential
element of identity. The stark, raw landscape of Newfoundland is more than a
backdrop. Her images capture a profound relationship with rock, earth, and
water. The island’s distinctive culture is revealed through her suggestive
work.
Her work is introduced by writer Lisa Moore.
