I have a series of calendars that I have produced for about 20 years. This is a possible image for the 08/09 edition. The style has always been to present beauty and sex appeal but with a real look. This shot was taken near my studio in Ivanhoe. The feel is meant to be of a nature photographer in the Amazon or some similar region.

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.

    Thanks Ozjami, much appreciated.

    ahhh that’s better, right way around now. Neck feeling better.

    Yumm. Geez what do models like this cost?

  • Tony Ryan replied

    Thanks Byron. I am lucky in many ways with some of the models I use. They approach me and work on a commission basis.

    Great shot Tony, should be some calendar!

  • Tony Ryan replied

    Thanks Larry. At this stage for the first time in 20 years it may not be published. Have lost our sponsor and seeking another.

    Thanks Karen. I am pretty happy with it too. Hopefully others will share our view.

    Lucky you Tony. Great shot. Very Pirelli… if you know what I mean (I am guessing you do) But as hot as she is, I wouldn’t let someone that sweaty near one of my cameras.

    ...well maybe one of the older broken cameras that I only use for IR work!

  • Tony Ryan replied

    Thanks again Byron. I am very familiar with the Pirelli calendar. Some of their shots have been fantastic. I also like the freedom with nudity that the celebrity status has granted them.

    This shot is very sexy in a very discrete way,...................well done

    Tony, I think this is possibly my favourite of all your work, which is all stunning.

  • Peter Zentjens

    Peter Zentjens

    I think you where successful in creating the feel you were after. I think it is a very sensual picture, the more so because you hide all the “sexual” parts leaving a lot to imagination. So, actually, this photo does two things in the world of imagination: prove the fact that you have one, going for more then just another nude, and provoke that of the viewer. Magnificent.

    What can one say about perfection? The only thing I would like to change is the photo credit….LOL it should say Von McKnelly. Kudos to everyone on a outstanding shot.

  • Rarity

    Rarity

    interesting how much more her eye color is brought out when she wore something blue.

  • Tony Ryan replied

    Hi Rarity. I often think the same thing. Colours and how they go togeather can make an enormous difference. I think there are many things that confuse me with photos.

    Got my vote – from one topless Amazon photographer (not). It’s nice to see though… one day we’ll be free.of our chains blah blah blah …

    Thanks cvdad. Really inspiring comments for me.

  • Carly Faust

    Carly Faust

    sexy… i love this.i love the sun shining through on her skin..very well done.

  • Tony Ryan replied

    Thanks Carly. I think a spectrum of light adds much power to a pic as against even light.

  • Michael Gatch

    Michael Gatch

    I think you did a really great job covering up. it seems natural but purposeful at the same time. The focus and the exposure is spot on too. Glad I came across your work, great stuff.

  • Tony Ryan replied

    Thanks Michael. I wish I didn’t have to cover up but in publishing you cut much of your distribution if nipples are shown. Therefor it is very important to me that when covering up the model is not consciously worrying during the shoot. The power of the pic is to look natural.

  • Michael Gatch

    Michael Gatch

    Well it’s definitely well done. I have been wanting to incorporate models into some shots, I have an entire universe of concepts and ideas in my head that I need to work out, it drives me mad. My skill needs to catch up with my ideas.

  • Tony Ryan replied

    Please feel free to email if you have any specific questions you think I could help with.

    Hey Tony, it’s me (Lisa)....
    just thought I ‘d drop a line to say this is an excellent shot and good to see RedBubble working for you.

  • Tony Ryan replied

    Hi Lisa. I am thoroughly enjoying redbubble. Thanks so much for putting me on to them. Any chance that you may upload some of your sketches on bubble?

  • simonb

    Fantastic picture, Tony. I reckon the phrase “Gracious me..!” springs to mind.

  • talianadesign

    talianadesign

    Hi Tony, I will be putting the sketches up as soon as I scan them. I have been thinking of doing these for awhile. I will set up a link back to you, so people people know who I was inspired by. x

  • Tony Ryan replied

    Thanks Lisa. Will look forward to seeing them.

  • Michael Lane

    Michael Lane

    Cool shot. She has amazing eyes and the colour is really brought out with the wrap she has on

  • Tahnja

    Tahnja

    This has got to be my fav shot. The eyes are awesome, draw you in more to her facial expression, then to the all round image without being sexual. The scene is convincing too which doesn’t happen too often lol. Bravo, just superb work

  • Tony Ryan replied

    Thanks again. I believe that beauty and truth rather than suggestion is attractive. I endeavour to present the models to look as attractive as possible and humble.

  • ltruskett

    Both my bf and I think this is a fantastic shot you did! The compo, the gaze, the colours,lighting…we just how artistic it looks and the harmony of the elements put together :D

  • Tony Ryan replied

    Thanks very much. I have a great passion in creating shots of beauty aimed at inspiration.

  • Sharon Mau

    Sharon Mau

    I love this one Tony, it speaks to my heart! There is an amazing three dimensional ethereal quality of tone, the subudued light and shadow play. It is a beautiful image and she is lovely!! I am dazzled with the clarity of the image, the dimensional appearance of the camera, the wonderful rainforest atmosphere and her crystal blue eyes sparkling in the filtered light!

  • Sharon Mau

    Sharon Mau

    There are many other groups for which you could add this beautiful image for a wider audience!

  • Tony Ryan replied

    Hi Sharon,

    Thanks so much for your words of encouragement. Am really keen to market my imagery. Any particular groups you would suggest?

    Best Wishes Tony.

    Thanks Mark, this particular location has great colours and the soft background focas seems to add to it’s impact.
