“His painterly nudes are characterized by discreet, elegant and architectural compositions of the female form and described as sensual, romantic, painterly, and moody while employing soft focus and grainy film texture.”

- Petra Golusic


[What makes a good Farber nude in] Something that's naturally shot, impulsively, when everything is right. It's not set up, it's caught impulsively. It's just the same with my still lifes. I like the nude. It's challenging. If you're planning to do a nude or you're looking at pictures you get the sense that it's all been done. When I shoot it I don't think of it like that. I think of it as something pleasing. Otherwise I'd have to concentrate too much on what I'm not there for. It could become forced. The pictures that I come up with are made impulsively, based on where the model is or the light is. I try to give the image more mystery. I think it can be an invasion of privacy if you're looking at the person and you're also looking at the face. It's either a portrait or you're looking at form. When you have some talent and you're lucky, you're in the right place at the right time, the model doesn't have to have a great body but it has to work well with what you're doing. I don't cast a model like they do for a fragrance or soap ad. There the skin has to be perfect or the legs have to be perfect. I want to go as far away from the commercial work as possible.”
