Again, exceptional work! The contrast between the “old style” and feeling and the “modern” tattoo is just perfect. Also, again, fabulous job with the treatment ant the textured backdrop.
“I think photographs should be provocative and not tell you what you already know. It takes no great powers or magic to reproduce somebody’s face in a photograph. The magic is in seeing people in new ways.” Duane Michals.
The lighting and composition are superb! It makes me think of images I have seen of models takne in the Art Deco period, one I really like! Elegant shot!
Cool thing about art, it is not only about something, it is something all by itself. It’s said that it can exist, Alf, independent of its idea or even its style. You seem to be proving that here with a retro simplicity of style married to meaning. That’s very cool… thanks.
extraordinary pose and angle … she could be an ancient Greek statue. Love the pearls hanging down her magnificent back … the sepia treatment was MADE for this image … and the colored tatoo, which I’m normally not a fan of … just puts the final kiss of grandeur to this image!!!
The portrait work you do is outstanding in its own right, using these models is inspired. (I love elegant tattoos on elegant women, not lots of them around.) Well done.
