Just a fun shot. I've had this dragon kite laying around for years and had always wanted to use it in a shoot since it has such bright colors. Well I present to you...., the Dragon Lady!!!
C&C welcome.

I find myself wondering if you had considered shooting this with the model being nude?

I imagine the same image without the models shirt, bra strap, and shorts being visible. Just the kite in front of her bare skin with her hair pulled back behind her shoulders.

The model would be just as modestly covered as she is now, but the kite would contrast with her bare skin, instead of her clothing and hair.

KD, I can see I've really been neglecting this post!
You are absolutely spot on with all of your remarks/ideas. Though on this particular shoot with this particular model that would not have happened! LoL
But yes I should redo and maybe even involve a little bit of body paint. but first I gotta find the kit!!!
KD, thanks so much for the great input.

As an alternative for situations where the model isn't either of age, or comfortable with being nude, might I suggest a full spandex bodysuit in an appropriate color. For the posted image I'm thinking flesh tone/beige, white, or possibly yellow. They are available in a variety of colors, some cover the entire person including the head, and some leave the head exposed.

For this image, I can't really see body paint as an option since there is a problem with nudity. You just end up with a clothed model with additional body paint. The clothes are already a distraction from the image, I can't see how the addition of body paint will improve that.

However, if the clothes are 1 piece, form fitting, and a single (appropriate to the image) color, the clothing shouldn't distract from the image and may even help enhance it.

KD, thanks again. I don't shoot these types of models anymore anyway so hiding clothing isn't an issue. But all good ideas. Now that the weather is heating up maybe I'll shoot the Dragon both inside and outside
Thanks again!!!
John.
