Nudity. "Its a natural state. I've seen more vulgarity in people wearing clothes."
-Laetitia Casta (supermodel)


Robert Donahues' (naturalefashionography) work seamlessly blends the gritty realism of photojournalism w/the glitz and glamour of the fashion world. 
The tangible and intangible in a graceful marriage of pixels. 
Each of his images tell many stories, depending on how each viewer interprets them. There is a continuing theme and style in his port, all the images seem to share the same DNA. Yet like children of the same parent, they are as individual and different from one another as siblings can be. Each work can work in tandem with others to drive the point home, or be powerful enough to stand alone and stun all eyes who fall upon it. These works are powerful and dynamic....they don't fit into just one style, genre or class. 
Donahue gives the viewer just enough of the story, conveyed with ease and fluidity, and leaves the rest to his/her imagination. There is also an element of concept photography at play in his repertoire: detailed and defined characters, storylines, themes etc. that serve to add to his unique style. 

Each gorgeous female subject is depicted as HERSELF, nothing more, nothing less. Their true essence and personality shines thru every frame. He is showing us fashion history but with a touch of graceful feminism that is not only refreshing but addicting! He is a lover of all kinds of women and has the ability to showcase them as how THEY WANT TO BE SEEN....an incredibly rare and special trait in a male fashion photographer. His innovative angles and provocative lighting pack a punch that is not easily emmulated. 
Every women who's been photographed by him can look at the result and genuinely say "That's me. Just as I want to be" 
His work may appear to be the fruits of carefully plotted and planned meticulism, but in this viewer's opinion, his most stunning and impactful images are those borne of an organic talent and knack that cannot be taught. This art flows thru him, and that is evident in every photograph. 

Quite simply, this is what Robert Donahue was put here to do: share with us the world as he sees it. 
To give life to moments that, had they not had the good fortune of being captured by his ever-ready lenz, would be lost and gone forever as so many poignant moments are. 
He is recording the history of fashion, women and art as a whole. 

Anyone can see....photography is his passion, his purpose.....and lucky for us, he shares that burning passion with all of our eager eyes. 

For refreshing, dynamic, innovative works that will knock your socks off, take a trip thru Robert Donahue's portfolio.....you won't regret a moment the visual masterpieces that lie within.
