The model for this shoot was 'Renee', a local model who was willing to work on a TF basis for this shoot.
The shoot was broken down into several sections, most with an artistic slant and some with a glamour look;
1. Nude under blue screen.
2. Nude behind white sheet.
3. Nude with white sheet.
4. Nude with blue sheet.
5. Nude body shape.
6. Glamour shots.
I placed the speed light, when I used it, to the rear or the model and used this to fire through the fabric, using the models body to block the flare from my lens. I was looking to produce a soft image with a slight mystic, errotic feel to it. This same them for the shot continued through the nude behind the white sheet shoot.
We then conducted two shoots using the white and blue materials as a kind of toga, or bed sheet. I wanted more drama for these and used the main strobe as a hard light to the right of the model. With some hind sight I should have placed a screen on the light to prevent light spill onto the back ground.
I was inspired by several photographers work regarding the nude body shape session. I did not want to have any vulgarity in the image, just the suggestion.
The last shots were to follow a glamour feel, I did use some PS techniques to add water and lighting effects.
Please let me know what you think of the images.
