I agree with Dan and you, Bruce about the top and back-light. I have absolutely no formal training in studio portraiture, and the 2 times I tried it I was total crap! But I have thought about my experiences in a general sense and since you’ve been posting nudes on PDML I’ve wondered how I would photograph nudes. I think I’d borrow from the principles of dance—choosing models that had the “body lines” I was looking for and pose accordingly (not in dance poses, mind you—that’s not what I mean). It seems to me this model has great body lines (and not just because she’s thin) that evoke a fun spirited character. I liked very much the very first shot you posted of her on the chair. To me there was such great expression in her face—her eyes—and her body position. I think you have a model here with a lot of potential.
