“Shekhina” – The fine art photography of Star Trek’s Spock, Leonard Nimoy (cbsnews.com)
Nimoy’s work was always an inspiration to me. I love his use of Black and White, and appreciated the way he toned his images. If you are not familiar with his work featuring plus-sized models, I invite you to explore some of the images from the Full Body Project
Also check out For the Love of Spock was an amazing documentary that recently left Netflix, and is still available on Amazon Prime Video. The documentary follows the rise of Nimoy’s popularity and how his character Spock became a cultural icon.
Nimoy was an iconic actor and artist. Celebrate him today by taking some time to appreciate his work.
