valya Valya Book Fan

There is a bit of a story behind this. When I arrived to do my recent

private photoshoot with Valya she had a book, The New Erotic

Photography, that included work by Naomi Harris, no relation, who I

studied with in the first session of The New Nude at ICP. At the end of

the shoot we decided to have some fun with the book and her reacting

to it. It was a great way to end our session.

You're right Mark... a great shot of Valya. Just wondering... why so much noise? Did you shoot at a very high ISO? Are you after this effect?

Michael,

 

This was shot on film. I get this at time with the inexpensive film scanner I use. When I print it I'll scan the print and replace this version. Yes, Valya is a terrific, expressive model.

Mark,

 

Ahhhhhh, that makes sense. Just curious... do you also have a DSLR or an ILC (interchangeable Lens Compact) camera? Yes, I'd also love to shoot Valya someday. She has a very unique face and body that really works for artistic work!

very very good.

Sometimes its good just to have fun! (By the way... what is film?)

do you really like it?

Michael - Yes, she is very good for artistic work.

 

Meto - Thanks

 

David - If this wasn't fun I'd move on to something that was. I work all day at a job that supports me and my photography, I need this for a creative outlet.

 

Paulo - Yes! You might not like it but that doesn't mean it can not be liked by others. I realize it is unusual. I enjoy it partly because of the moment it captures for us.

Mark,

 

It's always nice to hear the story behind the image. I have a few photos in the archive I will share along with the stories that accompany them. Keep up the good work!

Ciao Mark, very creative and unusual nude!
