Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken at Map Studio in Loughborough, UK.Time
During a late afternoon shoot.Lighting
I deliberately went for the contrast of the white brick wall behind Cariad, and left her to flex her body and form this beautiful artistic form.Equipment

I wanted to capture something that was a little special, nude, but artistic. Cariad is the most amazing of beautiful ladies, and somewhat athletic in the poses that she can create. After years of life drawing classes in my student days at Art school, I wanted to capture the human form, but in a way that was creative and not a direct nude image. As soon as she struck this shape I sensed we were onto a winning image.Editing
This was shot in monochrome deliberately to capture the soft shapes of the human form.In my camera bag

The human form can make for an amazing eloquence, especially if you have someone athletic. It is easy to take a nude image and have it take on a sexual theme, but there is something quite special about creating an image that doesn't display everything.
