Douglas A. Johnson

Douglas is the principle photographer for Live Model Books and the Art Models series of books for figure artists and the designer of the PoseSpace.com website. While finishing a degree in Applied Mathematics: Physics, he began photographing models for figure art as a hobby project. The in-the-round photos were meant to be used by 3D artists like sculptors or carvers who need to see all around the figure. Over time, artists requested other subjects, like the figure in action or high contrast lighting, and that led to a whole series of books, disks, downloads, e-books, and websites now used by thousands of artists around the world.
