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.

Beautiful image Tony !!
Tony Ryan replied
Thanks Ozjami, much appreciated.
BYRON
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.
Larry Varley
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 At this stage for the first time in 20 years it may not be published.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.
Karen Cougan
Class Act Tony, she is gorgeous and you really have captured what you were trying too…....well done…........she is one Gorgeous Goddess that’s for sure…......

Tony Ryan replied
Thanks Karen. I am pretty happy with it too. Hopefully others will share our view.
BYRON
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.
Hazel
This shot is very sexy in a very discrete way,...................well done
Tony Ryan replied
Thanks Hazel. I truly believe that sexy can and should be beautiful and graceful.
Tony Lin
Nice shot Tony… looking forward to seeing your shots of Minnie after your shoot
awoni
that’s well sexy, love the sexyness of the…camera ;)

David Barnes
Tony – an absolute stunner of a shot. You have outdone … even yourself! I’m giving you 38 out of 10 for this one.

Great image….......well done Tony
Rasendyll
Wonderfu work….really tells a story!
John Jovic
Tony, I think this is possibly my favourite of all your work, which is all stunning.
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.
Scott Ruhs
Amazing work, Tony! Such great detail, the light is superb!
Von McKnelly
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.
Mundy Hackett

Ciska
Wow another beauty. I hope you will find a sponsor so you can publish your works. After all all your work is tastefull and has a lot of pzazzzzz!!!!! Just Love your work Tony…..
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.
Marvin Tunstall
Gorgeous model!
LostBoy1
works for me!
Paul Vanzella
impressive work Tony!
Cathleen Taraw...
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 …
Russell Fry
beautifully done! superb, fantastic and every other adjective that I can think of….. :-)
Tony Ryan replied
Thanks cvdad. Really inspiring comments for me.
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
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
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
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.
berndt2
Fantastic shot! Love the colour / lighting and the brilliant expression of fascination on her face
Marcus Angelo
Great capture!
Jeff Burns
This is awesome great work. WOW
Stefan Trenker
well, not only a grat composition and photo, but also a very beautiful model!
Robxavier
Tony this is priceless
Tony Ryan replied
Thanks Rob. Much appreciated.
Michael Lane
Cool shot. She has amazing eyes and the colour is really brought out with the wrap she has on
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
I really like this image, because she so realistically looks like she is about to take a shot of something in a tree. Well done. Beautiful model…........
emizael
Great shot!
Bryan Villamin
Beautiful girl with a camera.. what else can we ask for?? Nicely done!
Tony Ryan replied
Thanks Bryan, appreciate your interest in my work. Love some of the results you are getting with your lenses.
kani9r
really great great body :D a word from the lady here says…she can be proud :P
udonchow
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
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
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.
Noel Elliot
Stunning model….stunning shot…...Love it
dropin
The blue eyes and body wrap make this shot.
Sorry the girl is fantastic too.
ADMarshall

Mark Hayward
Great great work…love the aesthetic and the freshness of your colour palette. beautiful.
Tony Ryan replied
Thanks Mark, this particular location has great colours and the soft background focas seems to add to it’s impact.
