Olya, Budding supermodel

To me this is one of those moments that holds attention. Numerous reasons to consider, but, the fill flash does not detract from the fact that this 'moment' is interesting. I like it simply because I like it. Picking it apart won't change that. Cheers.

I agree Lee, it is a rather interesting picture, and the flash treatment has a lot to do with this. I wonder, though, whether a less conventional glamour pose might have drawn more drama out of the situation. If she were just walking, not playing to the camera, or...

Jhon,

im ,at first,  one of the unknown,unpointable member(free one!) here .after i read the critics on this naked girl photo i need to write something for MYSELF!..(ok if you read too!)

anyone who looks this photo without any knowledge about you and your photos,parobably will think that its a photo taken by her bf..becouse girl is looking to photographer like any girl looks to her bf evrytime.

whats art here?girl only shows herself !and photograher seems to show only her naked body(to his mates)..

wheres her secret emotions?whers photographers  understanding of soul of a naked girl?

i wont mention photography technics(such as flash light etc..).

and last,is there any law called peri's law?jhon peri's photos and girls are not so long to yours..

 but you may look much more to naked pics in art history and think on them more and more..maybe its too early to take artistic naked photos for you..

im sory  couse coldnt say any good words here...

oktay!

You should look around.

I have some agreement with what you wrote, but first it would be helpful if it was clear you read the others' comments; it was not.

I also suggest you look at my later nude work; this was my first, taken at an inopportune moment after scheduling a very beautiful young woman and paying for her, an agent, a taxi driver and two interpreters (a couple).

Alas, the sun went down, very much limiting my choices.

I had a shoot earlier in the day that produced some wonderful photos with good poses, wonderful depth of field and no flash.

She's looking down at me; I'm normal male height, but she's 6 feet tall, bare foot.

Nice young woman; I'd like to photograph her again but this was posted in 2007, maybe shot in 2004.

She could have six kids by now.

Time flies.

Please look at my other nude/semi-nude work and compare/I'm not static in what I produce.

Oh, and if this was so bad, why did you pick it?  There are some absolutely stunning non-nude photos that may be both historical and classics in other genres that you could have commented on and learned from too.  Is this photo so compelling considering the nearly 2,000 photos here, and if so, why so this particular one to you rather than leaving as others do three or five representative comments indicating you've been commenting on and perusing all my work?

Inquiring mind would like to know.

It may be more revealing than your comment to learn why this choice on which to leave a derogatory comment; (not saying it's wrong, but of 2,000 photos, was that all you could do, and was that all you looked at that you felt worth commenting on and why?)\

;~))

JHON,

i looked around your photos again.i like nearly 9/1o of them again!so nothing is changed in my mind about you and your photos.

i picked this photo becouse...i realy dont know but will think it more.i may say now that this is only one naked photo in your color album.so its more noticable then others.and nudist photography and street photograpy are very different in nature of photography.i put you as a good photographer in street photography,but not in nudism.

i looked your lately naked photos and sory i feelt that all of your naked photos can be thought as amateur.

im thinking that nudist art is the hardest typ of art!becouse you take a naked girls photo but when people look this photo they will feel some sexual things easly.so a nudist artist should be so professional that can change the feelings ang thoughts of ordinary people.if you want to get guys be horny by naked photo this is ok.but this is not art but pornography.

on the other hand as i said before your street photos are good and can be assumed artistic in my aspect(dont know the others are thinking).

i hope i could explain myself :)

Oktay!

 

I am not sure you looked far enough.

One man who spent a lifetime doing nude photography wrote in a comment he felt my nude photography was the best photography I did.

That this happened to end up in the Color portfolio is because at the time there wasn't such organization; now she'd end up in Beautiful Women of Ukraine.

There are others, of course.

I think you still jump to conclusions; you are entitled of course to your conclusions, and I see that you chose this because you were in one folder, but that folder is not limited to street photography; it is a pastiche of early work with enormous success with viewers - close to ten million viewers have clicked on photos in this folder or viewed them and clicked.

Also, looking at photos of early, individual models, also may not be representative of my work, but see some of Nina, Rita (all her photos, especially the one of her breast and arm alone with no face which has its own fan club on the Internet, Dasha (clad in bra, so not technically nude) but also with its own fan club, and so on.

There is more to the women I photograph than I think you see.

Pornography is not something I deal in.

By the way, have you ever looked at pornography these days; there is NO resemblance between pornography and ANYTHING I have shot.

The closest was a documentary depiction of a woman lying supine on a bed from overhead, but that was 'documentary' with no sexuality -- it was a mere depiction with no enticing or anything other than being explicit, and explicit is something that is common currency among nude photographers on Photo.net

I'm glad you do like much of my work.

By the way, it's 'nude' not 'naked', and there's a world of difference.
