• The difference between nude and naked

  Next June Rizzoli Publishers put out the book Jazz Age Beauties - The Lost Collection of Ziegfeld Photographer Alfred Cheney Johnston.

• GUP meets Rutger ten Broeke

  The main photographic love of Rutger ten Broeke (62) is nudes. The former fashion photographer loves to have beautiful female bodies in front of his lens.

• Hardcore printing

  To allow a photograph to show it’s true beauty it has to be displayed properly. As an analogue or digital print, with or without frame.

• Antoine d’Agata

  The photos of Antoine d’Agata (Marseille, 1961) are rough and associative. The deliberate blur puts a haze over the images that makes them less accessible. D’Agata does not attempt to represent the world as it is, he tries to explain his own position in that world. Rather than a photo documentary, he reports about his own, intimate experiences.

• The Naked City

  20 years ago, the biggest nuclear disaster ever took
  place in Tsjernobyl. Nowadays still a 30 km corridor
  prohibits the outside world from entering the contaminated site. Martijn de Vries (35) visited the site and abandoned city of Pripyat.

• Give us our daily nude

  The moment that Adam and Eve ate the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge was the end of their nudity. Ashamed of their disobedience to God, they covered their private parts with fig leaves and went from nude to naked. Nudity and nakedness features in all art forms, and the invention of photography left little concealed.
