Everybody new him as Spock from the original Star Trek but Leonard Nimoy who passed away this weekend at the age of 83 was also a writer, director and Photographer. In interview conducted a few years back by journalist Dave Malkoff, Nimoy talks about his love for photography and about one of his photographic projects.
In 2007 Nimoy, who studied photography in UCLA, had owned a camera since he was 13. Later in his life he published a photography book entitled “The Full Body Project” he also exhibited at the R. Michelson Galleries in Northampton, Massachusetts and the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art.
In 2003, he announced his retirement from acting to concentrate on photography (he did come back to appear in several shows however). mashable recently published two articles about Nimoy’s photography. In them you can see how he celebrated full figured women (there is some nudity so be advised) – see “Honored bodies” and “Leonard Nimoy, photographer“.
