hi hugo, my walls have a type of coating on them that is somewhat reflective thus the highlight. i will be using this light from now on because i love the mood and the shadows. -k

Hi Karl, Yeah, I agree, it makes people think, and that's one essential criterium for a successful photo. And that's beyond discussion.. Interesting bit of info on the lighting, though. It shows in the model, but how did you manage the glistening on the wall I referred to as a "flash bounce"? (should've known - a flash bounce doesn't fit with the lighting on the model)
Cheers,
Hugo

thanks hugo for your comments. the very fact that this photo has caused people to have such contrasting reactions means it was a success. i read an article once where a photographer said that all he wants when someone looks at his work is for them to look at an image for 4 seconds, if he gets 4 seconds it was a success. also the light souce was one lowell tungten light places to the right side of the subject. -k

Wow......Awsome. Female figure has been explored so much, that some time one wonders if there's anything left to capture. And this photos just shows HOW.
I'm assuming it's a single source light, and BOY, how it enhances the muscle structure yet retaining the softness of the Female form. Great Pose, Great Capture Karl. - Vir

Hi Karl,
Intriguing series, and I'm impressed by how well they fit together. To me, the combination of the photos together is stronger than each individual one (as stand alone) and i think that's the key factor of success of a series. In all fairness, I think this is the least of the four, though.
I realise the contrast and lack of detail in the black is intentional (at least I think it is), so I won't go into that, yet the pose of the woman emphasises her skinniness just a bit too much, I believe; the wrinkles in her neck, as well as the protrusion of her bones on her bare back are not really complimentary, although it's one of the elements which make this shot intriguing.
I like how you used the flash bounce to your advantage, it fits with the rather dark feel of these photos. Nicely done, and a very expressive series.
Cheers,
Hugo
