If you like the old masters of the various painter schools who painted there models as if frozen in a usually unnatural pose, surrounded by symbolic items like fruit, cups, playing cards and so one you might want to have a look a the photography of Mike Lawson.

Mike Lawson photographs sepia-toned female nudes in an unusual and rather painterly style. The poses are forced, the setting unnatural and the (semi-)nude girls are mostly combined with symbolic artifacts creating the same enchanting atmosphere as the old painters.

The website is not the best as for navigation, with all the photograph links at the bottom and now overviews, but the photographs are here in good quality with excellent tonal ranges and his work is definitely worth scrolling down to continue to the next page.
