i love this work. brillante color, very beautiful model and you first film is great. regrads patrick

Great shot!!

Like your use of the location and the good pose.

Fine details and tones too.

Interesting location and an unusual pose that works well here to make a fine composition. Excellent lighting and skin tones on this stunning model. By the way, the video is cute!

Very cool John... love the setting too!  Happy New Year!

Excellent colors in this one, John ... I really enjoyed the film. Best wishes ...

A great setting, with a wonderful model and good light.  The video is a terrific addition and gives a glimpse of life-on-a-shoot.

My sincere thanks to both of you for sharing.

Ah, a delightful image to wrap up the year.....love the video too.  Cheers and a terrific New Year to you!

7,really very good work,my friend.

Great film John.  Shaky is fine.  Wish you the best for the new year.

I have mentioned this before but feel that skin contrasted with rough stone, like this window opening, is terrific. The pose works perfectly in the frame although she looks nervous that she is about to fall. Her bright red nails, the scarf on her head and the jewlery all work to add to the composition. Thanks for the behind-the-scene video, it is fun to get a look at the process.

A very Happy New Year to you. Let us all hope for a fun, creative year ahead.

I really like this series with the turban and the door ... do well to show some 'time, deserves to be appreciated slowly... happy 2011

ps: great on youtube!

Fantastic image once again John! Watched the video, great. I'm wondering what she is attempting to do, push the wall over or fit into the window? Is it taken on a Greek island, in one of those abandoned villages or possibly a Spanish ruin? Looks very Mediterranean. Never mind, it fits together well. That girl has beautiful skin btw. Thanks for leading the way on how to take nudes. Happy New Year!    

Thank you all .. thank you Glenn .. to me the video is more a demonstration of how to have fun with one's model friends .. : -)

really like the you tube aspect....

can't wait to see more of such postings

kind of let's you know how much of the final image is post processed

it also looks like you are using existing light

I always wonder how the end photo compares to the original shot

guess that it doesn't hurt to start with a very attractive model

I enjoy checking out your work regularly

Thank you also to the two friends above ..

Dennis, as usual the post work consists largely of cropping and a change in contrast, certainly the model needs no work on her as you can clearly see  ... : -) 

Yes, it is natural lighting (towards sunset). As for the location .. well, we should leave something for the dreams, there are lots of old building around still inhabited by fairies .. :-)

.. this particular fairy is a very good friend, we spend time together during the summer holidays. We go swimming, have drinks, laugh a lot, and occasionally take some photos .. 

Happy new year!

Jim Phelps

Lovely as allways my friend. Good to see that she found a flat place to stand on ;-p

May the new year be an easy one for you John, may it bring with it many muses and many, many smiles! Cheers, Raymond

This girl is simply breathtaking. Even more on the video, which is a nice document about her heveanly beauty . John, shoot with her as much as you can.

John- Wonderful work (as usual) by both of you. You always seem to manage to perfectly compose your work and your models always seem to bring beauty, grace and elegance. The video is a very nice touch as it gives a tantalizing glimpse into your work. Happy New Year!

...thanks also for yuotube!...Ciaomau!
