RICHARD MURRIAN has become one of the best known photographers of the artistic nude in recent years, certainly one of the most recognized names of his generation. Two coffee-table books of his work have already been published (Reanna's Diaries, 2004 & See Me Feel Me, 2006, by Edition Skylight), and a third is currently in progress.

His work focuses on the natural, blooming eroticism found in young women. His photographs are highly stylized, full of elements of classical Pictorialism, lighting reminiscent of 'the old Masters', and infused with a delectable eroticism that transforms his beautiful models into the tantalizing 'Muses' of men's dreams; always so close, yet always just beyond your grasp!

In July 2006, he launched Muse (m-u-s-e.org) in conjunction with partners in France and Scotland, for which he serves as featured photographer and creative director. Muse is published in both web and print versions.

Richard lives in Paris with his wife Nancy, she being a former model and now a blossoming photographer in her own right.
