Continuing on my review of 2011 work. A friend began organizing mini-

workshops in February. These have 4 to 5 models and 8 to 10

photographers. This was from the first of these.

i really like this bw, good play of light and shadow. nice model too

Marvelously Done Mark! I like the way the image fades away in the lower left corner. Make it a great year in 2012!

Beautiful nude!

I appreciate how well the light works with the content and the expression here. It's not just nice lighting for lighting's sake and not just to "show off" your model. It's an expressive use of lighting. It draws us into her expression and plays off here eyes and their gaze. The shadows are suggestive, severe yet with a gentleness at the same time.

Thank you all!

Niki - I often think that shadows are more important then the lighted areas.

Raymond - This session was an early one using a single light in a soft box close to the model. I was particularly interested in photographing a black model that way. She loves the result.

Svetlana - I appreciate your comment.

Fred - I like it when others see the emotion I was after. I try to incorporate that in much of my work with nudes and don't always succeed. It is nice when someone else feels I have too.
