Goddess



The pose in this is very powerful and assertive. She seems to screams for adoration and worship. The cloth draped around her waist remind me of Greek goddess. As much as I love the pose the background is what excites me most. The clouds turned out much better in this one then in the piece My Wife. I want to keep experimenting with the background of the image and will include more images of skies in my work in the future.

Embrace



Even though this is from the same photoshoot as The Red Corset, it turned out very different. This photo is very blunt with its sexuality. Also there is a lot more contrast and darkness in the in the figures. There more that I can say about this piece but I want people to draw there own conclusions from it.

I'm getting a better idea of my process now. I know it took a while (2 years) but I think I'm finally figuring out a system to make work the way I do. I've also found a better way to work the backgrounds of each piece to show more depth then they have at times in the past.

*I've noticed that this image appears really dark on some monitors, while this is a darker piece you should still be able to see quite a bit of detail in the shadow areas if your monitor is adjusted properly.

The Red Corset




I named this one the red corest for obvious reasons. The corset is what your eyes are drawn to at first. Afterward the eyes wonder to other area and the scene can be taken in fully. The corset also represents sexuality which is enhanced by the color red.

The colors in this piece remind me a lot of my Our Lady of Rapture. The background turned out different in this one as I increased the amount hat the wall showed up. I think it helps to anchor my work when I have a defined background. Otherwise everything starts to look a bit bland. have many more photos from this shoot that still need to be finished. I hope that they turn out as well as this one.
