介绍（中）	伟大的美国画家和摄影师托马斯·伊金斯致力于对人体形态的科学研究，并致力于其真实再现。当他和宾夕法尼亚美术学院的学生们被古典雕塑的模型包围时，埃金斯宣称他不喜欢"对模型进行长时间的研究……它们充其量只是模仿品，对模仿品的模仿不能像对生活本身的模仿那样有生命。"摄影提供了一个明显的解决方案这张照片可能是1883年夏天，伊金斯和一名学生在新泽西州普莱森特角（Point Pleasant）的马纳斯坎湾（Manasquan Inlet）与学生们一起游览时拍摄的，照片中伊金斯和学生们模仿了古典雕塑中优雅的对位姿势。埃金斯不仅将自己的照片视为绘画的研究对象，也将其视为绘画本身，他在白金纸上精心印制了最好的图像。在这种情况下，他遇到了额外的麻烦，即放大原始的水平格式图像，然后垂直裁剪，以更好地包含完美平衡的图形。
介绍（英）	The great American painter and photographer Thomas Eakins was devoted to the scientific study of the human form and committed to its truthful representation. While he and his students at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts were surrounded by casts of classical sculpture, Eakins declared that he did not like "a long study of casts. . . . At best they are only imitations, and an imitation of imitations cannot have so much life as an imitation of life itself." Photography provided an obvious solution. This photograph, in which Eakins and a student affected the elegant contrapposto stances of classical sculpture, was probably taken during an excursion with students to Manasquan Inlet at Point Pleasant, New Jersey, during the summer of 1883. Valuing his photographs not only as studies for paintings but also for their own sake, Eakins carefully printed the best images on platinum paper. In this case, he went to the additional trouble of enlarging the original, horizontally formatted image and cropping it vertically to better contain the perfectly balanced figures.
