LOL to the censorship!

I found it on the original site, but had to go to the gallery and look at
it there.

Re: PESO x 2 - two bests

[Bruce Walker]

Thank you, Ann!

A bit Weston, although he tended to stick with plainer backgrounds as
far as I've seen so far. I really had other folks, like Arnold Newman,
in mind while composing it.

Re: PESO x 2 - two bests

[Bruce Walker]

Thank you very much, Bulent, for this appreciation and critique!

An interesting coincidence to me that you feel fragility in the figure
in nude study. She was 3 or 4 months pregnant when we shot, and
beginning to show.

I was very much aiming for a painterly look in that too. I arranged
all the background elements, and chose a high ISO and wide-open
aperture for softness.

BTW, I failed to mention that I did all post-processing in Lightroom.
Mosty minor slider tweaks.

Of course I looked at the photos before reading at the rest of the post ...

Sort of expected a nude sky-diver & a nude with a large strategically located 
plant of some sort (not knowing what a "Phylactere" might be).


The first one is definitely the best I've ever seen you post.

nude study with Phylactere
https://portfolio.brucemwalker.com/index/I9Ve8hGlONT0


Both shot with the 645Z and the 55mm f:2.8 SDM lens. Each was lit by a
single light source.

The first was lit by an 8 inch hard silver reflector aimed though a
3/4-stop 8x8 foot scrim, above-right.
55mm/2.8 at f/8, 1/125th sec, ISO 100; handheld.

The second was lit by ambient window light, left.
55mm/2.8 at f/2.8, 1/30th sec, ISO 1600; handheld.

Model 1 is Olivia Preston, Playboy Cybergirl of the Year 2018.
Model 2 is Phylactere Rayna, a fine arts lecturer at the University of
Montreal, model, yoga instructor, dancer, photographer.

Enjoy!

Re: PESO x 2 - two bests

[Bulent Celasun]

Bruce,

I liked both for different reasons.

The first is an elegant, light, high key image which requires far too
much knowledge&skill to shoot this good.
The viewer has to catch the "flying" figure before she leaves the frame...
Ethereal is the word that comes to my mind.

The second, which appeals to me more, is like a painting. Can be oil
or even watercolor.
The composition is that of a perfect combination of static/rigid
elements (rectangles) and beautifully dynamic, curving figure.
I can imagine the painter looking at this one finally and saying, "done!".
The figure is certainly not flying but is not heavy either. The
dominant feeling is, to me, fragility.

Thank you very much for producing these and sharing them with us.

Bulent

I considered b&w but for me colour is a very important part of the
composition.

The negative space above? I was just feeling it. :-) I have been studying
Arnold Newman and designers like Paul Rand and trying to get a better feel
for a wider PoV and including more background. This shot just suggested to
me to open it up more and leave space above. My tendency has always been to
crowd the subject in the frame; I'm pushing back against that.

Thank you, Larry.

You already know I love that shot of Phylactere, and the other one, of Olivia, 
is a stunner.

Sent  from my phone, which I’m staring at instead of doing actual work.

As well you might.

That is definitely one of your best.

Very nice.  I’m curious whether you also processed it as a black and white.

Also, a question about your composition choice.  On the left, bottom and right, 
there is a very similar amount of space between the edge of the frame and the 
edge of Pylactere, yet at the top about a third of the frame is simply 
background.  Why the large open space rather than something closer to a 4x5 
crop with much less empty space?

PESO x 2 - two bests

[Bruce Walker]

Two shots that I consider to be personal bests. The first is from 2
weeks ago and the second is from the middle of December, 2019.

nude study with Phylactere
https://portfolio.brucemwalker.com/index/I9Ve8hGlONT0


Both shot with the 645Z and the 55mm f:2.8 SDM lens. Each was lit by a
single light source.

The first was lit by an 8 inch hard silver reflector aimed though a
3/4-stop 8x8 foot scrim, above-right.
55mm/2.8 at f/8, 1/125th sec, ISO 100; handheld.

The second was lit by ambient window light, left.
55mm/2.8 at f/2.8, 1/30th sec, ISO 1600; handheld.

Model 1 is Olivia Preston, Playboy Cybergirl of the Year 2018.
Model 2 is Phylactere Rayna, a fine arts lecturer at the University of
Montreal, model, yoga instructor, dancer, photographer.

Enjoy!
