Nude Woman Reading.

Another in my series of recreated paintings. This model (Rebecca Lawrence, @bexlaw) initially contacted me on Model Mayhem, and when I said I did this, she suggested doing this painting.

Now that is pretty damn near a perfect recreation of the painting. Nice idea, well executed.

It is a beautiful photo - I would like to see it with a background that was more traditional as well - a darkened room for example.

Except the exposure on the nude is about 3 stops off.
Squint your eyes at the picture and look at the tonal values especially of the figure in relation to the whole.
Is it just me? Or is the figure way too dark?
I wonder about responses on this forum. I thought most people posted here to get honest feedback not just 'atta boys'.

Very nicely done, James. Obviously, the care and time spent on creating this photograph really paid off.

She proposed doing that painting a year and a half ago, then it took a while to schedule a photo shoot. And it was three weeks from when we finally set a date, to that date, so I had time to collect props. And I just stumbled upon someone near me selling that table for $10.

I hear what you are saying. But perhaps the model is not a milky white Caucasian. Ya work with what ya got.
I still think the photog deserves an ‘atta boy’ for this effort.

+1 tonal values are completely different

Maybe she is African American.
BTW, I am familiar with the painting.

Actually, she is a milky-white Caucasian.
The image is basically two layers. The bottom is the unedited shot, Top image was originally the same, but I applied some blurring effects to get a "painted" look. Then I erased the model's body from the top layer, so the unblurred image showed thru (If you're paying a woman to get naked for you, you're gonna want to see her body). The blurring had the side-effect of making it much darker. I can't explain why the unblurred is also too dark.
I rushed through that last night. I should spend a bit more time on it when I get a chance. I'd really like to lighten the table, so you can see her legs.
