Nice looking shot... it tells a story, like she is hiking something or is ashamed... or ... [insert your vision here]

 

[FITBMX]

the reason is... she's a nail-biter, don't have nice nails so I had to hide them

This is great Marija, really lovely BW conversion and levels management. The composition is just my cup of tea - tight and restrictive - it really draws you in. The necklace detail adds just the right amount of interest without taking centre stage.

I really like the style that your shots are going in at the moment. You should be very pleased with yourself!

Ok, here goes:

The woman is nude and holding her hands over her breasts in a way that communicates that she is aware of her nudity and the viewer’s looking at her. The posture and the tightness of the grip imply that she’s not very comfortable with that situation. The light serves to emphasize her cleavage, which also attracts our attention by the pendant pointing to it, and the arms crossed over it. The only thing we can see of the woman’s face is her chin, and we can see that she is looking to the right, away from the center of the image, almost as if trying to exit the focus of our attention. Your placement of her so that she occupies only the right side of the image, adds to the tension of the model and a feeling that one may get if one walked into a room by accident and noticed the woman in it, yet the full frontal presentation tells us we’re supposed to be looking at her. The viewer is aware of her nudity, the model is also aware and not happy with it. As others have noted, the conversion does an excellent job of maintaining a smooth tonal range, while at the same time separating your model from the background.

Personally, I get a lot of tension from this image. In a more conventional boudoir photo, the intention is to invite the viewer in. In this one, we see someone who is there for us to look at, but is not very happy about it, which makes us question why is she there. If that was your intention, you succeeded brilliantly.

Forkie... are you saying that I'm good as long as I keep shooting women's body?

well done Sir, well done!

Thank you Paul!

(I'm smiling right now because I really can't imagine what you're going to say when I post the next one )

 

[EIngerson]

I know what I'm going to say. …….lol


I'm absolutely impressed with the views of your photos. Your framing is impeccable. I have to admit, I'm a little jealous. lol. You have a great sense of vision Maria.

great photo, the pose reminds me a bit of Mary Katherine Gallagher.

Haha, no! That's just a bonus
