I mentioned Marcus Ranum in one of my previous posts and decided to elaborate on the artist.
Marcus J. Ranum is a computer and network security researcher credited with innovations in firewalls and intrusion detection systems. He has a large stock photography account on DeviantART that he keeps as a hobby. Basically his gallery is full of the body shot project, his subjects ranging from classical nude photography much like what you would see in a figure drawing class, motion studies, to just about any prop that you can think of.
He makes his work extremely accessible to artists to use in photo manipulations and are great as reference photos for artists learning anatomy.

Ranum sets his entire gallery as mature in protest to DeviantART’s censorship, stating that “a regime of self censorship is a greater attack on artistic creativity than totalitarian control would be; it forces the artist to victimize themself.”
If anyone is interested in going back into the light room and doing more body shots, I highly suggest that they take a look at Ranum’s tutorials. He also has a lighting guide for photographers seeking to create their own light room on a budget and shows that low budget lights can still create beautiful photos.
