Joan in the old factory...03

Ok, where to begin with a figure study so beyond my own abilities...

It's in my opinion, compositionally perfect.

Her body forms a triangle that leads the viewer in a circle... face, to boots, to back and up again... the dark background shadow to the right, also brings us back to the model expertly and sets off her form.

The touch of light on the bottom of the boots...

The abstract shadowed forms of her body dashed against the strongly lit surfaces... this is a lesson in figure photography that everyone should note...

The established depth of field is perfectly executed, it's perfectly exposed.

Also, though many won't care about this, because some of the figure is left to the imagination, this elegent image could be displayed anywhere and not offend the sensitive folks.

I would expect to find this in a gallery of masters

Thank you for the inspiration... I, the educator, am now educated
