Very nice one Von, there is something special in working with natural light, I my opinion.

Von McKnelly replied
With the weather here in Missouri getting warmer I should be getting out of the studio a little more often for that beautiful light. YEAH!
Thanks Peter.

This is a very tender and beautiful image Von ! Love the soft B/W and the natural light.
Great, warm series. Brings you back to old times and tells a whole story.
Great composition and pose with the perfect reflection in the mirror. well done !

I found that adding the model into the series gives it the realistic feeling of yesteryear I was looking for.
Big hugs Anna thanks!

The white of the china and the glow of the lamp draw the focus to the reflection. The cupped hands ….. beautiful pose.

This could be a still from “Little House on the Prairie” or maybe “The Waltons” that got axed by the censors. Excellent vintage feel to this one, Von!

Von, such a beautiful model, I would love to see her in more pictures. Is she still currently modeling for you, I really would like to see more of her. Very,very sexy.
It looks very modern, yet very classic, that makes it that much sexier. You do good work, however I think the model makes this one.

It looks straight out of ‘Orphee’ with Jean Marais… beautiful!!
