Pleasure



The hair is my favorite part of this photo. There is so much energy in it that it really makes the piece, without the hair it would be boring. Needless to say that there were a lot of shots involved before we were able to capture this one. The thing I enjoy most about working with nudes though is the way the lighting hits the skin and captures the innate beauty and lust of the body. I've been exploring the concept of the world that I'm trying to create and found that my common thread among my work is allure. With this discovery comes erotic and nude images. What better way to allure man then through beautiful flesh and the hint of something more.

While working towards evolving my style I'm trying to do more with the background then just leaving it plain and empty. I've experimented with this piece and tried to bring more contrast into the space around the model. I want to work on this more but I'm backlogged as it is with photos from several different shoots that I need to catch up on, I wish I had more time to work on my portfolio.

Let me know what you think of this one.
