American photographer Mona Kuhn (1969-present) is known for her large-scale photos of the nude human form. Mona Kuhn’s photographs draw inspiration for her work both from classical art and the desire to examine – and sometimes transform – how society views the natural human body. Much of Mona Kuhn’s photography focuses on capturing people feeling comfortable in their own skin, while still exuding a sense of dreamy beauty. Mona Kuhn is known for developing close relationships with her subjects and making them feel at ease in her presence, resulting in a unique type of playful intimacy in Mona Kuhn’s photography. The deep connections Mona Kuhn cultivates with her models not only lend a physical closeness to her work, but a sense of the emotional connections she has developed as well. Indeed, many of Mona Kuhn’s photographs manage to somehow be both whimsical and sensual at once.
