A photographer for 40 years, Levingston has concentrated on photographing the female figure, often outdoors in natural settings, for the past 10 years. He believes the female body is the original aesthetic object, the source of all our ideas of what is beautiful. While he doesn’t focus on the erotic in his work, he also does not shun it, embracing the idea that a photograph of a nude woman cannot help but be somewhat erotic. However, his work is primarily about form and texture, light, shadow and color and the relationship of the female body to the natural forms of our environment.
