Bill Durgin has some interesting photography as long as you are not offended by some nudity. Worth to mention that his nudes are everything but ordinary. Body shapes wrapped in ways that loose the sense of humanity and covey a sense of artificiality to the human body.

Often inspired by dance and performance, my work presents the figure in a discernible yet unfamiliar manner. I work with actors, dancers, and myself to choreograph a gesture within domestic architectural spaces. These uncanny bodies create almost sculptural shapes, and their postures are enhanced by physical distortion and erasure of superfluous appendages. We are never able to grasp the entire architectural surround only a fragment revealing the contorted figures in a silent relationship. - Bill Durgin
