"After the Bath"

Thank you, everyone, who have been looking at my work. Your critiques

have been helpful and are always welcome.

I've never done a nude photo...but I love this! The pink against her alabaster skin is very nice...She looks like a sculpture!

Very beautyfull... smooth and soft tons; Great model, great work and great post-treatment

This has a very "classical" feel to it. Lovely image!

Excellent shot, good color and the pink gives a special effect, Felicidades // Salvador

This is a great image, I only have one issue with it and that is that the model appears to be pouting!, Was that intended or??

Hi Doug. Pouting? - That is an interesting observation. This image has never struck me that way back then or sense then. First, I should say that when I asked Stacey if she would like to model, I might as well have asked her if she would like to be the U.S. Ambassador to England. Apparently such a thought of modeling had never crossed her mind, however the idea grew on her and she became interested.

 

It has never occurred to me that Stacey was in a pout and I don’t believe she was. This was her first time to pose for anybody, as mentioned above, and I think she was just trying very hard to please at this point in the shoot. There was another photographer beside myself and she possibly was getting a little stressed at this point trying to please both of us - two strangers with cameras. Overall this one chance to work with her proved to be one of the most productive shoots for me ever.

Soon after the shoot she disappeared back into rural Oklahoma from which she came. However, she did leave behind a treasure for me to enjoy for years to come.

 

Interestingly around three years ago I posted an image of Miss Stacey titled "On a Paris Eve" on photo.net and in just 10 months it ran up 220,000 hits. That astonished me. I pulled the image over a year ago and have regretted that decision. I ended up listing the same image again hoping to draw people to my site and again it has work well for me. You can find it under nudes on my photo.net site if you would like to see her in our most successful of all her images.
