Vince Hemingson says older women are some of his favourite subjects to photograph naked

*Warning: The story below features several photographs of nude women.
Vancouver photographer Vince Hemingson says his latest body of work, the "Nude in the Landscape” series frames the human figure in the natural environment of the Pacific Northwest, “from its beaches and shorelines, to its rivers and streams, forests and mountainsides, encompassing every season, spring, summer, autumn and winter.”

Hemingson says the black and white photos of naked women “juxtapose the delicacy and fragility of the female form against the scale and rugged grandeur of the landscape, contrasting the textures and tones between those two elements, and examining the relationship between the viewer and the subject.”
Curious as to how — and why — Hemingson began photographing women in their natural state, the Courier had some questions for the artist about his craft.
When did you first know you wanted to become a photographer?
I learned how to process film and use a darkroom in high school in Qualicum Beach on Vancouver Island. (Thank you, Dr. Beard). It was a transformative experience to see images emerge in a tray of developer and added a powerful alchemical and magical element to the process of making art.
At the time I don’t think I ever considered it as a career. But I was always an avid amateur photographer. As a college student, I travelled to Poland with (Canadian writer and commentator) Stan Persky and did the principal photography for his book, At the Lenin Shipyard: Poland and the Rise of the Solidarity Trade Union.
Working with National Geographic in the late nineties and early 2000s on a documentary series, I found photography a welcome diversion from the responsibilities of being a producer, writer and reluctant on-camera host. 
After some early success with stock images, I thought that, in a perfect world, I’d much prefer to focus on photography. 
When did you decide to start shooting nudes — and why?
I was a painter before I was a photographer, so to do a figure class with a nude model seemed the most natural thing in the world. 
I started shooting nudes again specifically because I was photographing people with large tattoos and extensive body art. In most cases the best way to see and appreciate the tattoo was without the distraction of clothes.

Friends, acquaintances, casting calls, people I’ve never met before on the street. I now have the luxury of having people approach me because they’ve seen my work and would like to collaborate.
You use models of all shapes and sizes, was that always the plan?
Initially, almost all of the models I was working with were agency models and fine-art figure models used to posing nude. They were almost all in their mid-twenties and very fit. And I was hiring them because I was an unknown photographer. 
But once I had a body of work I began calling, Nude in the Landscape, my propensity to overthink everything came to the fore. What’s nude, who is nude, what does the nude represent? What is the landscape?
As the years went by, I became fascinated by the passage of time and photographing the ebb and flow of the seasons. Women’s lives have seasons as well. 
The cultural anthropologist in me liked the idea of the Paleolithic trinity of Maiden, Mother and Crone to illustrate the seasons in a woman’s life.

And I noticed quite quickly that while women might admire and love some of my earliest work, they were somewhat distanced from the nudes because I was portraying culturally accepted notions of idealized female bodies. Which wasn’t my intent, as I was hiring models who were willing to shoot nudes. 
I then started asking friends to pose for me and started seeking out a much larger range of representations of ages, shapes and diversity of ethnicities.
This was difficult initially. I had to convince a lot of women that they would look wonderful as art.
The first few friends I photographed in their 40s and 50s gifted me with their trust and their photographs inspired a lot of women to pose. The work became much more powerful and meaningful and spoke to a much larger audience.    
In the case of The Tattoo Project: body. art. image., the emphasis and intent was always about showcasing the tattoos. And I asked everyone, male and female, what their comfort level was beforehand in regards to their partial or total nudity.
I also quickly learned how important communication was. But yes, it was totally awkward initially.
Later, when I was photographing the Nude in the Landscape series, I found that the more I communicated with the models the more comfortable it was for everyone involved.

Your admiration for older women shows up in your work. What is it about older women that makes them such great subjects?
I’m an increasingly older man myself. None of the women in my life have become any less beautiful to me as they have aged. In most cases, their confidence, life experience, wisdom, and self-acceptance makes them even more beautiful. It’s shocking to me that we see so few representations in art of women past a certain age. 
There are almost no fine art nudes of post-menopausal women, and nudes of women in their sixties and seventies are beyond rare. That saddens me.
If art represents who we are as a culture, and allegedly our highest ideals and aspirations, what does it say about us that we — and by “we” I mean mostly white, privileged men of a certain vintage because they're still the gatekeepers of the art world — don’t represent, venerate and elevate art that portrays women who are no longer physically fertile, but who are the heart and soul of our lives and communities?
And of course the same goes for women of colour or women who don’t appear in fashion magazines. On a personal note, it’s great to spend time on a photo shoot with a woman who knows all my pop-culture references!
Your photo shoots are largely outdoors and even near or in water. How do you keep your models from freezing?
I shoot year round, including rain and snow. Everyone has a different tolerance when it comes to cold or being in water. For many shots, there’s a lot of behind the scenes smoke and mirrors going on. 
Blankets and towels you can’t see in the frame. And just about anybody can lie naked in the snow if there’s a hot tub twenty feet away. The key is never to get so cold you can’t get warm in a few minutes. 
On the occasional gallery wall and my website. Sadly, my work on social media platforms is relentlessly censored and deleted. I am shadow banned on Facebook and Instagram. I am constantly threatened with permanent deletion.
As a result, I self-censor. It’s deplorable. It’s about placing corporate profits above women’s rights and human rights. The so-called “Community Standards” violate Canadian law as it pertains to female nipples.
But it’s also about placating some of the worst regimes in the world with regards to women’s rights and human rights. It’s corporate sexism and misogyny at its worst. It’s about controlling women by policing and controlling their bodies.

One of your most famous photos is dubbed, The Tree of Life and includes more than a dozen women. How long did it take you to pose all of those women in such a way?
My background in film and television comes in handy when directing large groups. I start at one end and then give directions across the frame. It takes about a minute per person to construct a pose. After four hours of that my brain has used up all of its bandwidth. 
Beginning this week, Hemingson has 10 over-sized photographs hanging at Cafe il Nido on Thurlow Street.

Considerate neighbours always inform those who live next door when they are throwing a party or lighting a bonfire — it’s just good manners. Yet now it seems there is something else we should bear in mind if we want to keep the Joneses happy — and stay on the right side of the law.
Last week, Surrey police took the unusual step of issuing a warning about sunbathing naked in the garden: you had better clear it with the neighbours first.
Police are duty-bound to investigate an allegation of ‘indecent exposure’ or ‘outraging public decency’, and in the recent hot weather, sunbathers keen to avoid tan lines could unwittingly be breaking the law.
‘If you want to wander around your garden naked and you are overlooked by neighbours, then you have to be careful — an Englishman’s home is not quite his castle and your garden is not exempt from the law,’ Surrey police tweeted.
‘In an ideal world, your relationship with your neighbours would be such that they would not object to you gardening in the buff and they would never dream of calling the police.
‘You will have to decide whether your desire to be naked in your garden is more important to you than being on friendly terms with those around you.’
But who does sunbathe naked? And what do the neighbours think? We spoke to four women — and their (very understanding) neighbours.
Claire Howard, 55, is married and lives in Banbury. She is a part-time office worker and film extra. Claire says:
My back garden is overlooked by two of my neighbours. Either of them could see me reclining in the nude on my sunlounger if they really wanted to. I’ve no idea if they look or not — and to be honest I don’t really care.
If people want to look, then my attitude is, go right ahead.
I can’t remember a time when I haven’t sunbathed naked. I’ve never been shy and I put that down to how I was brought up. In our family we were raised with the philosophy that we all have the same ‘bits’ and they are nothing to be ashamed of — and it is an attitude I have taken with me into my adult life.
I do feel good with a suntan. I always apply a high factor sunscreen and never burn. I also adore my walled garden: it is a suntrap from the afternoon onwards and an absolute joy to be in .
My house is at the end of a row of four cottages, and the bedroom windows from the second and third cottages overlook my garden.
I haven’t ever discussed my sunbathing habits with my neighbours. I’ve lived here for 30 years and quite simply see no need to. On one side is a rented property. Tenants come and go on a regular basis. If they want to look, it is up to them. But to this day no one has ever confronted me about my lack of clothing. 
My husband never worries about me sunbathing naked or being outside on my own. As curious as it might sound, it doesn’t concern him if neighbours see me. He has never asked me to cover up — it’s just not an issue.
It is probably because I am a ‘film extra.’ I have done some naked work and people do see me without clothes on. He trusts me and is not a jealous man.
In 2016, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a mastecomy. I’ve had a temporary reconstruction and while my breast doesn’t look the same as it did before, I am still me and proud to be here — naked breasts and all!
Retired accountant, Cynthia Jackson, 67, has lived next to Claire for 14 years. Cynthia says:
Claire has lived in our row of cottages a lot longer than I have. As far as I can remember she has always sunbathed naked.
It doesn’t bother me at all. I’d have to go out of my way to spy on her. My feeling is that if neighbours don’t like it, then they shouldn’t look.
I would defend someone’s right to behave as they please in their garden.
To call the police on your neighbour because they’re not wearing any clothes is ludicrous.

If I stand up, the entire street can see me
Chloe Sharratt, 26, is a driving instructor from Pontefract, West Yorkshire. She has a four-year-old daughter, Rydel. Chloe says:
I bought my house three years ago. From day one I created a garden exactly to my liking with outdoor furniture and a hot tub. After I’ve finished work I love to get outside and take advantage of the last of the evening sun.
I sunbathe in the nude and I get into my hot tub naked, too. My garden slopes in such a way that when I stand up the whole street can see in. My next-door neighbour’s back bedroom looks out across my whole garden. The people who live opposite have a study window that faces my tub.
I’m friends with all of my neighbours, but I honestly have no idea if any of them have seen me nude.
It genuinely doesn’t bother me. I suspect I’m lucky to have the neighbours I have, including a young couple with a baby and two sisters who work shifts. It’s not that I am an exhibitionist. I’ll walk around my house nude, too.
The body isn’t something to be ashamed of. I want my daughter to grow up feeling body-confident, too.
Shift worker Judith Sgarbi, 62, is single and lives next door but one to Chloe. Judith says:
If you wanted to spy on Chloe, you’d have to stay in your bedroom all day and peep out the window. I really don’t think anyone around here is that way inclined.
Sunbathing without any clothes on isn’t for me.
Yet I do appreciate that the younger generation are much more uninhibited than we were at their age.
So as far as I’m concerned, go ahead Chloe. I’m just not interested.
I strip off, but my hubby wouldn't dream of it
Events management company owner Shani Heyworth, 41, is married to Greg, 54, who works in the construction industry. They live in Blackpool. She says:
This year’s heatwave has been a blessing for me because I have fibromyalgia, a condition that causes chronic muscle pain. I’ve found it’s made much easier sitting out in the sunshine.
That’s why I go one further and sunbathe nude. When I first started stripping off a couple of years ago, I noticed the health benefits straight away. A session outside helped my joints feel less achy.
I sleep naked. I’m very comfortable walking around my home without anything on.
My husband Greg is the total opposite. He’s very shy and while I do encourage him to take his clothes off, he won’t entertain the idea. He says he’s fine with my nude sunbathing habit, although a couple of years ago he did put up some tall screens in the garden so no one can see in. So maybe he wasn’t as comfortable with it as I thought.
Before the screens went up I’d happily talk to my neighbours over the garden wall, while totally naked. Even though I do apply Factor 30, my skin goes a wonderfully nutty brown hue almost immediately. We’ve had a long, cold winter in Blackpool and I’m loving the weather at the moment.
I’m a firm believer in the philosophy that sunshine on a naked body can help heal almost all aches and pains. So I’m not covering up for anyone.
Shani’s neighbour Charlotte Thomas, 38, a civil servant says:
Shani and I have been neighbours for 15 years. We hit it off straight away and would often chat over the back fence. Shani’s such a lovely person that I just wouldn’t dream of being offended by her choosing to sunbathe in the nude.
While I appreciate families with children might find this trend awkward it really surprised me to think some people would go to the extreme length of calling the police. My partner isn’t bothered about Shani sunbathing naked. He’s never commented on it. Neighbours should look out for one another, not tittle- tattle over silly things.
It's the best medicine in the world
Voice-over artist Emma Puzey, 42, lives in Peterborough. She has two children: Caitlin, 20, who works in customer service, and William, 18, who is studying music at university. Emma says:
For five years I lived in the coastal city of Virginia Beach on the East Coast of America. Summers were hot and I was lucky enough to be near a three-mile stretch of beach.
Whenever I had a spare moment or at the weekends, I was on it with the children. While I didn’t go naked, I did get used to having a tan. More importantly, I adored the feel-good factor that comes with spending time in the sunshine.
That’s why I ensure that whenever I can I get outside in the sun. I’ve sunbathed naked for years and certainly for as long as I can remember in the privacy of my own home. The reason is a rather vain one, as I simply don’t like tan lines.
Far from minding, the knock-on effect on my daughter has been a nothing short of miraculous. She sees how relaxed I am with my size 14 body and it encourages her to be comfortable in her own skin, too. My son, however, is a different matter. He is away studying most of the time, but when he’s around I cover up. The embarrassment would kill him!
My neighbours have never said anything to me. In truth, I probably have been spotted once or twice by men. The thought of being ‘ogled’ just isn’t on my radar. I honestly don’t care.
The reality is I live in terrace housing and our windows overlook one another’s gardens. We’re a friendly neighbourhood and I suspect no one would ever dream of saying something. I believe a session of naked sunbathing has the same health benefits to that of going to the gym. I always feel better afterwards.
Naked sunbathing is wonderful and the best medicine in the world — and it’s free!
