Simple but wonderful nude!

Difficult to do largely against the light. Again, a style from another age, and no less pleasing because of that. 

Maurizio - Thank you again, your comments always make me smile.

John - Thank you! The backlighting was partially an accommodation to Jordana so she didn't have to look into or near the low sun. Fortunately, the long tonal scale of film allowed me to do this and not lose detail in either the highlights or shadows. This was made about 8:30 am.

The next entry in my review of 2011 photo sessions. This one was a

chilly, but sunny, early June morning.

Michael - Thanks, Jordana was a trooper that day. It was a little cool, about 50F, breezy but sunny, at least.

The location is Gunnison Beach, the clothing optional beach at Sandy Hook.

Perhaps not too statuesque. However, that is just a word. It is the image that is important and this is fine. I like the movement in the hair.

David - Thank you and I'm pleased you like this image. The breeze that created the blowing hair, unfortunately made it feel even cooler then the 50F or so that was the air temperature. Apparent in other photographs is the effect this had on Jordana. I'm amazed what many models will do for our art.
