donna black 0 Posted September 11, 2009 Your lovely model's face is too light either due to makeup or lighting. It gives the appearance that she has on too much makeup for natural look. Also, her left thumb is awkward as it appears here. Link to comment
John Peri 1,033 Posted September 25, 2009 I agree with Rudolf, a remarkable photographer, that this is truly excellent. Beautifully composed and lit. I'm really intrigued by the equipment used. I should really never blame my tools but I assure you that I never get such precision and clarity with my Nikon, not to menton the distortion provoked by my zoom lens ... Link to comment
clemsonguy 0 Posted September 25, 2009 @John This is quite the praise coming from both you and Rudolf, who I study constantly. John, I have followed the techniques that I've read on your PN page to produce this. It is simply a Nikon D90 with a 50mm lens and a SB-600 flash that I bounced off the wall to the left. The more I glean about the techniques you use, the more satisfied I am with the results I have. Funny how that works. I can't thank you enough for sharing. I think the key, really, to shooting nudes follows exactly what I have read from you --the model must be completely comfortable with the photographer and a mutual respect must be present. I strive very hard for this with every shoot. The shots I take are simply shots that we discuss in collaboration and there is never any pressure by me to pose in one way or another. Link to comment

John Peri 1,033 Posted May 30, 2010 Ha, I just came across your reply which I somehow skipped earlier. So the extraordinary clarity is then due to the lens. I do have a 50 mm, but somehow mine never produced sharp pictures, so I set it to the side long ago. Once again, this is such a superb image ... Link to comment
