Description: Photographer Gary Schneider, born in South Africa in 1954, lives and works in New York.
The exhibition Nudes, consists of 30 life-size portraits of nude men and women that Schneider has photographed using an unusual technique. All the figures lie in the same position, seemingly imposed, while Schneider moves flashlight beams slowly across the bodies, accentuating their characteristics with light and shadows.

Gary Schneider’s photographs have been exhibited at major art museums in the United States and Europe, and he has works in many prestigious collections.
The exhibition is a part of Reykjavik Arts Festival 2010.

Friday 14 May at 12 noon Schneider will give a lecture on his works and career.

On Saturday 22 May 3 p.m. Einar Falur Ingólfson photographer leads a guided tour through the exhibition.
