JPPhoto1664880217 5 Posted November 18, 2009 This works particularly well in B&W. I really like the vantage pont. Jim Phelps Link to comment
joe_williams3 0 Posted November 18, 2009 I like the contrast of hard edges of the window, to the model's smooth curves, to the jagged paint on the left. The lighting is lovely; I greatly enjoy the tones of your black and white shots. Link to comment
John Peri 1,029 Posted November 18, 2009 Thank you Joe. The light comes from the window. I closed down one stop to control the highlights, but it can almost never be really good unfortunately when you have intense light on one side and none on the other .. Link to comment
pressuredbyphotons 5 Posted November 18, 2009 A dynamic pose that complements the diagonal pattern of light. I like how the image works on a number of levels, her body position creates a geometric abstraction yet it accentuates her form and gives it an air of eroticism. It's the sort of picture one could look at again and again and not tire of. I think the only thing I can criticize is not being able to see all of her right foot. Very nice. Link to comment
lightworks 0 Posted November 18, 2009 Splendid employment of your model's form to convey sensual elegance. Link to comment
setsail728 15 Posted November 18, 2009 The pose and the lighting really emphasize the exquisite form of this model. That's the whole idea, isn't it? And you've done it very well in this photo. Bravo! Link to comment
John Peri 1,029 Posted November 18, 2009 Good question Warren, thanks, ... is it the chicken or the egg? I use a pretty model in order to take a glamour photo or a figure study, but do I take a photo in order to bring out the features of the model. I thought about it and frankly, the answer is no. When I want to make a good tomato sauce (I try!), I search for good tomatoes, or the result will not be up to par. But I don't make the sauce in order to underline the qualities of the tomatoes.

John Peri 1,029 Posted November 19, 2009 Well, you know, when you speak in metaphors, it's not taken personally .. but I have sometimes mentioned the sauce example to my models, they laugh and take it as a compliment .. :-) Link to comment
