Jock Sturges is a controversial photographer known for his nude portraits of mainly adolescents. He holds a bachelor's degree in perceptual psychology and a bachelor's degree in photography from Marlboro College and a master's degree in photography from the San Francisco Art Institute.
In Misty Dawn: Portrait of a Muse, his work with one of his most prominent muses: Misty Dawn, is depicted chronologically. Jock Sturges photographed Misty Dawn from the ages of three to twenty-eight, documenting her growth from a little girl to a beautiful, confident adult woman.
The Last Day of Summer shows black and white photos of adolescents and adults, naked and clothed. Jock Sturges often photographed the photos in this book on beaches, giving the photos a beautiful, warm, intimate look.
