Interesting shot. I'd like to see her eyes tho. Maybe just the eyes above the book...but then again, that would be a different mood and perhaps not what you wanted to do.
Very interesting, I wish I could read everything of the front of his chest. But very effective. Is she trying to understand man from front to back? Are all me liars from behind? Nice effective BW.
Ray, I think you are looking for porn -- this is art -- and at a high level. I like any portrait that make you try and think and interpret its meaning, as well as showing an interesting subject.
I second the wishing to be able to read the words on the front. I'm also assuming the no sheets on the bed is on purpose and possibly having some deeper meaning. I like the shot a lot, even though it's not just "beautiful models with beautiful bodies" in the nude like you used to do or something..
I don't think that this art is all that great. As I his "art" was much better when he was just shooting beautiful models with beautiful bodies in the nude without the attempts to be so artistic.
i think his photography/lighting skills are top notch, I just don't think his artistic vision is all that great.
Just my opinion. If you don't agree I completely understand.
There is plenty of pure porn on the internet if that is what I am looking for.
