so beautiful! May I ask about the lighting? its so soft yet focused which is just amazing. Would it happen to be a beauty dish camera left up and over to almost scrape light down her face?
i was not prepared for this shot because we planned to do completely different shoot with body painter, but he did not showed up, but model came, so i should to do improvisation, on her head you can see the dress i found in my studio in hand necklace, it's just what came to my mind and i did it.
At the end model and i happy with result

Above the hand it is a lovely photo.
What is she holding? Why is she holding it? It is so bright and busy that it disturbs the vibe of the rest of the photo and distracts from her.

I concur, completely, and was surprised no one mentioned it before.
The model is stunningly beautiful.
I think the necklace in the hand is too prominently placed, and competes very strongly for the viewer's attention. I think it would have been better to place it lower, and maybe show less coils of jewelry, or maybe even put it around her neck.
Beautiful model. Beautiful work. Brilliantly conceived and executed. As to the jewelry in her hand. I think it dramatically lifts the image. It is a visual statement of her power. One to be taken seriously. A Royal with golden brass knuckles. I get the idea that it draws the eye away from her and competes for attention. But conversely and more importantly in my opinion, its presence brings a compelling element to her and the image overall. Which (again in my opinion) makes it a superior work of art.
