For those fans of b&w nudes. http://portfolio.brucemwalker.com/index/I0000iKw5Atrq1YM 645z, 90mm/2.8, f/11, 1/125th sec, 400 ISO; handheld. Window light only. Model is Kristen Au.
Gold in silver?
Comments appreciated.
I'm somewhat stymied as to wear Ms. Willrich might have applied makeup in that photo, but that might explain some of the differences between your nudes and mine.
Banter aside, I'm quite torn on this one. I think that background looks really cool, and I love the way the reflections off it cause the light to wrap around the model.
On the other hand, the background is so cool and eye catching that it distracts from the model. Particularly when the tonality of it ends up being so close to the model's skin in this photo. I am curious how it would look in color.
If there had been space to do so, it would be interesting to see how it would have worked shot at a wider aperture, with the model further from the background so that all those distracting sharp lines weren't quite so sharp.
