My name is Robbin Michael Wagner and I live my life as a fine art nude photographer in the Vieux Carré and sometimes as Artist-At-Large. I was the first photographer to have my photographic nudes exhibited in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Penthouse in New Orleans on Canal Street when it opened its doors for business in 2000. It is located in the former Maison Blanche department store building.

I am "old school" and "new school" and do both film and digital photography. I produced a huge body of work over twenty years while living in the Vieux Carré (French Quarter), New Orleans. I photograph women from all walks of life. All women are beautiful.

My fascinating career follows in the footsteps of E.J. Bellocq. John Ernest Joseph Bellocq (1873-1949) was a professional photographer who worked in New Orleans during the early 20th century. Bellocq is remembered for his haunting photographs of Storyville, New Orleans' legalized red light district. These have inspired novels, poems and a famous movie. Pretty Baby, 1978, a Louis Malle film starring Brooke Shields, Keith Carradine and Susan Sarandon.

I photograph female nudes and classic portraits in black & white, monochrome and sepia. I utilize the Zone System as taught to me in 1977 in San Francisco by the late Ansel Adams. I style my own shoots and occasionally do hair and make-up on my models.

I am currently producing new images for my travel guide, The Accidental Nudist. If you’re interested in modeling and being published in the travel guide, navigate to Models herein and send in your form.
