Bob Dress2

these are amazing .. i can only imagine
the delicacy in the lace you see in person ..

Bob's dress eh, you must look stunning in it

Great images, but why not get a real person wearing it? Even if you exclude the head.

cliveh well that's silly, how can Bob take a photo of himself? I guess he could use a long cable release or an air bulb.

You did a great job with colors on this one.
Honestly I'm not sure it would be as attractive if Bob was modeling the dress

This is beautiful, Bob. I'm glad you chose not to use a model for it. I think the display item is correct for the period of the dress (at least it appears to be) and a living model could change the subject from the dress to the model.

It's three dimensional!

Extraordinary picture Bob. The shadow, the fading of the pleats, the detail, wonderful.

Thank you all. In all my series I do not include the human element , the idea of my project is the items that have been used , consumed, given away by all of us.

I try to find a simple item like the manaquien to support the objects, in the Dress Series there are over 50 different dresses so I had three different size supports.

For my Food series I use a simple Scale
I think this allows the viewer to concentrate on the object I am presenting.

Eric - I remember your water picture, if I ever get open ended chaps I am going to ask you to be the support ... cottage cheese and all.
