Beautiful work! (6)

Brilliant work.  These high key shots of this model are incredible! 

Thank you friends, there are lots more actually.  If I find something a little different, I may post it. 

I love the model, light, and the pose.

Beautiful work.

Perfect this new series!

Elegant shot, John .... 7 for me !!

excellent high key and elegant nude!

I would prefer this as a full body shot.  Do you have a full crop you could show us?

I know you use pretty simple lighting, so maybe go into some detail of how you captured this pose.

It is interesting how she is looking into what appears to be the darkest place in her environment.

Her arms between elbow and shoulder have lost detail, but still an interesting use of the model.  She looks almost butterfly like with her wings spread in the sun.

Thank you for your more detailed comment Gary. No, I don't have a full length of this particular shot. Since you must know my little secrets, I don't work in a studio and she is standing on the bed, so it would hardly be appropriate ! 

Lighting is simple as you say, window light to the left of the body with some fill in bounce flash off the camera. I fully sympathize that one may like or not the detail or absence of it to the left, it's all there in the original, it's just my choice to present it in this way. Best wishes and thanks again for giving your views. 

Many thanks to the others too.

truly exceptional photo. 7

John, I have followed your work for years, with an occasional comment.

In reading your images, one day it dawned upon me one secret to your success in photographing top rated models.  I will not give your secret away, but it is present in full view in several photographs.   A hint would be, Like Begets Like.

The reason for photo.net success is contributing photographers like yourself that are as good as any talent out there. 

John, admirable study in B&W, with deft touches of elegance and grace. 7.

Mon Chum John .. You know I can not resist when you do a high key B&W post I must review and comment... Again you knock me out the curves of the model add to the high key as it creates great contrast and shadow.. You have mastered this fine art approach in this image.. we can discuss technical aspects on what is areas we can always move to a new level such as use of tonal smooth or noise smooth to make a more soft approach but none will add to the beauty already captured.  Again salute's mon chum... MJ 

Very good. Congratulations to you both.

So delicate a languid creature,

She wouldn’t need a posture teacher,

Her perky paps – half toned to hair –

Do gently focus roaming stare,

Proclaim soft sinuous accord

Of sternocleidomastoid cord

With mammaries, thoracic lane,

And sloping by subcostal plane,

Abdominis – enchantment’s hill,

And triangle of pelvic will.

Neck’s line pronounced

Aligned with shoulder

Augments the curious beholder

In facial elocution’s threne,

Arresting swanlike of careen.

Those parted lips invite to more

Perambulations sweet of lore…

Artistic countenance cast well

To connoisseur’s lensatic dwell.

Thank you Igor, she will enjoy reading that ..: -)

Thank you very much to the others also for the attention given to this photo.

Simply wonderful! What a marvelous creature!
