Phillip Island
This is a shot from one of my last calendars. It had a surf theme and this particular pic was taken at Phillip Island. I spent much of my childhood there and have so many fond memories of the surf culture on the Island. Really wanted this image to reflect the passion of this culture that I believe still exists today. I love how natural the model looks in this pic. Think that it is so important in scene shots such as these that the model looks like she is not posing for a camera.
I am really passionate about running workshops pertaining to images such as these. I have set up a group to promote and feature these workshops.

This is a beautiful image, I echo what Lena says about the surroundings, also love the texture of her skin with the water droplets, even shadows of the drops on the skin.

It is a lovely sensual portrait Tony. She is a natural beauty. Your work is sensitive and intuitive.
