I'm a huge fan of the masterful photographers who came before us paving the way and providing inspiration. Ruth Bernhard was an incredible photographer who created some fantastic art nudes. Paying homage to other's work for me is not simply a copying effort. It goes much deeper. It forces me to really study the work and gain a full understanding of the pose, the lighting and the messages that could possibly be communicated.
I suspect it took a while to get the draping and dampening just right for the pose. Or else you were damn lucky . Definitely worth the effort. I especially like the choice of shadow boundary on the left side.
it has a real wetness to it. I am a sucker for very sharp detail and this one really pops. tones are over the top and the two things I pick up right away is the draping across the breast and the right nipple is just getting a glimmer of the light. SO well done. thank you for sharing.
