SETAGAYA-KU, TOKYO, JAPAN - For the second consecutive year, a photographic artwork by Allio has
been honored by Photography Unlimited of Japan. This year, he received a "Pictures of the Year -
Special Prize" for an artistic figure nude of model Lindy Blu on the Nevada landscape entitled:
"Terra-Cotta Archway".
"This image is a classic example of a successful collaboration between model and photographer,"
Allio said. "Lindy's skyclad figure was the right fit with surroundings to complete this exciting
artwork. Nude tanned skin blended with terra-cotta Aztec Sandstone to form a sensuously sculptured
landscape."
"Terra-Cotta Archway"
is an element, an excerpt, from the "Solitudo | Terra-Cotta Desert" pictorial, a collection of
ten stark and beautiful desert scenes, each a vision of the bare human form in the Mojave Desert.

Professional photographer Allio was born in the Commonwealth of Virginia, USA. He is a graduate of
the University of Virginia with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Communications and Visual Arts.
His fine art nude figures have been exhibited in prestegious art galleries around the world.
