wow, i like that. The warm black and white and the surrounding the model is in!

I absolutely love the shot - stil, I would like a different expression on the model's face - right now she looks indiferent.

I am sorry, but I have to bring up old David Hamilton again. I think this image feels a little dated because of the strong resonance of David Hamilton. I don't know if it's intentional. I like his work (or used to in the 70's) but I think you need to show us why your work is different from his. I can see from the rest of your images that it's only this image that has this 'Hamilton feel'. I think the teengirl theme is handled much stronger in the 'girl on a chair' picture.

I absolutely love this photo.

It's wel composed, great tonal use, the way the girl is looking, just perfect.

The pose is so elegant that the very mundane set doesn't even contrast with the model's beauty. Strange effect.

Well done. Excellent.

Don't quite know what to say about this photo, other than I like it. Her placid, complacent expression contrasts quite well with the brushed metal, machinery and wires. Excellent image.

I went back and took a quick look at Hamilton, Anders, and I have to say I'm not sure what you mean. The somewhat stark aesthetic I see in this image, and in most of the others by Maris, feels practically the opposite of Hamilton's. Maybe you're thinking of something other than the soft-focus confections Hamilton's name brings to my mind. I've come back to look at Maris's photographs half a dozen times, and I'm always impressed. They never feel like idle dreams, as Hamilton's do. Not to knock Hamilton: I'd be proud to have half his talent. He's just not my taste.

UPDATE -- Maris asked about David Hamilton online. Here's his site. Most images are by subscription, but there's enough available free to get the picture, if you know what I mean.

Could you be so kind to tell me where I can find David Hamilton photos?

I don't find Maris' work to be like anyone else's.

I think all the photos in this folder are very original and extremely well executed. The lighting on these especially makes me envious.

YESSSS ! This is extremely nice and very well done... My only regret: the expression on the face and the pose of her left arm... I'd have prefered a hidden face, and maybe a sleeping position, with closed eyes... It would match the set up and the pose of legs and right arm - which are perfect - a lot better... Regards.

Graet Image!!! I envy what you have: your talent, great model, etc.. Congratulations.

Classic pose, but it works well here. Good photo.
