Composition of circular forms

A different perspective perhaps. It's helpful to be on good terms with the model.

I think the concept is fun but would have been improved if her arm made a circle around your lens. In addition to continuing the theme, it would have hidden your hand.

 

On the subject of trust, I found that the models I've worked with would do almost anything if I showed them respect enough to explain want I was doing. I also told them that if they were ever uncomfortable to tell me and I would stop and move on to another idea.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I really like your idea about having her encircle the lens with her arm. That gives me a place to start the next session.

 

This shot actually is a bit of an accident; the original image covered a much larger area, but I discovered that this tight crop (almost 100%) was more interesting. I had planned to re-shoot with a more appropriate lens, but again, I think your suggestion will give me a good jumping-off point.

I can't wait to see the result

 

When I made this image it was a similar situation. I was changing film and told the model, Talea, to relax. When I looked up she was in this position. I made minor changes and took several frames. When I showed this to a photography group last week I said it's sometimes better to be lucky.

A truly original nude, with all of your usual wacky humor. While you are at it, how about inverting it? Cheers

Yeah; I thought it was kind of original. Fun to take, too (but I'm on good terms with the model). Probably explains the low "originality" ratings. By invert, do you mean upside-down, or left-right?
