    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!

    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.

    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!!
