Lucien Clergue Photography

Lucien Clergue (born August 14, 1934) is a French photographer. He is Chairman of the Academy of Fine Arts for 2013.(wikipedia)
He is notable by the usage of woman nude body by juxtaposing with natural elements, similar to Rimantas Dichavičius and Arno Rafael Minkkinen. We cant even severalize the body with nature in his prolific photos, pointing towards the own identity of body and changing the perspective of nudity.
He is the founder of the important festival Rencontre Internationale de la Photographie and was inducted into the prestigious Académie des Beaux Arts as the first photographer ever to be recognized as a fine artist in 2007.
