Contemplation of the World

Amazing skin and hair rendition. My tip to you would be to get rid of all the props and concentrate on the model alone.

There's only one prop in this shot- unless you're referring to the entire series. I have more that I'll post in the next few days, some of which have no props (other than a chair, which I don't think is really a prop).

Yes, I was referring to the entire series shown here.

In this case, I think the 'prop' is the subject. In the rest, not so much.

The prop is telling a story. It's a story for the viewer to create. With the ones with the bowl, it's a graphical element - contrasting the hard, metallic circular shape against the organic human figure. The mirror ones are also storytelling/metaphorical.

My favorite of the series so far. The gentleness of the hands speaks volumes (for me, at least).
