Publishers description

This striking compilation of two distinct bodies of work by the same camera artist blends disparate subject matter through an unusual medium: tintype. An imaginative photographer revives the lost art of tintype by employing it in two extensive studies: one of rare and exotic insects, the other of gracefully posed and draped female nudes. By combining the scientific and the classic, the entire collection is given a timeless quality that invites readers to seek new meanings and interpretations in these provocative images. Jayne Hinds Bidaut, who uses her own collection of rare insects in her photographs and often poses herself as the model in figure studies, lives in New York. 80 color illustrations.
