Model is Amber. This was lit with a pair of softboxes stacked on top of eachother to give a kind of "light wall" effect.

Beautiful. I love the way the light is angled to create the dramatic shadow on her torso that divides into light and dark at just the right place... and how her tits look just perfect from that angle/pose.

the positioning of her right leg kind of bothers me, but that might just be my foot phobia.

I think you should experiment with crazier lighting and outside sets though. To be honest, individually your pieces are amazing, but, um, enough with the softboxes? Maybe have a really dark room with just a faint, faint glow positioned slightly behind/above the model so that it just picks up and highlights the edges of her curves in a super subtle way... Or get up close to the model, or some crazy compositions (rule of thirds ftw). I also think you should try playing around with black paint/goo or something crazy like that. Maybe like a deconstruction series, but instead the model paints herself with gooey black latex paint (not latex wall paint), and get some macros of it dripping. Iunno; that's probably my personal taste creeping in.

I keep bumping up against the fact that I just love the big soft lights and - while I'm perfectly capable of doing other things - I don't know if I should force myself to do other stuff just because people think I should. Does that make sense? Damn it, I am happy with my big soft lights and my nihilistic grey sweep!

...I painted my sweep toast color, after 6 years of shooting on grey. Let's make haste slowly, huh? ;)

Hahahaha.

That works.

But I just love the variations. High contrast makes me wet. Especially with colors. I no longer paint people with normal skin tones--I think the world would be more fun and less racist if we were random colors of the rainbow. I'd like to be either a shockingly saturated shade of mango yellow or a deep, velvety magenta. You?

Random rainbow colors would be great except someone would have to be bubblegum pink. And what if it was some really huge burly dude and he was Mr Bubblegum Pink. He'd be awfully grumpy about that...

:choke: Hmm... I have a focusing spotlight. :D

:rofl:

Oh, yeah, sorry. I'm kind of... REALLY crude. and open. I guess that's why 90% of my friends are male.

Absolutely stunning display of the female form. Really. I just love your work.

P.S. I also get a kick out of your extremely subtle signature... :P

Most people haven't noticed the signature. :) I figure some day that's gonna blow up in the face of some image-ripper.
