Oddly, the hands make these "action photos." Posing hands is very important too often the hands in nude photos are just-there and awkward, not so in these photos. You, Thomas902 , and the model know their stuff.

thank you dpullum... agreed it is so much about the hands in beauty editorials... this amazing talent has more tear sheets than nearly any other I've collaborated with... a brilliant thespian indeed...
btw emerging agency models (new faces) are encouraged to carefully study the masters of silent film... modeling is in fact acting without benefit of a script to convey and carry a narrative thus a model must emote with facial expressions and equally important their hands... while it is easy to "smile" with your eyes, it takes an accomplished talent to emote effectively with eyes closed...
Again many thanks dpullum for taking the time to review and reflect... my apologies in a delayed response... a very busy weekend... I appreciate everyone's patience with me here...
Happy you enjoyed the imagery raymondh... rest assured this session was a joy to shoot...
Many thanks for the glowing review Jimmy T... in this session it is the gift of experience this model brought to the image equation that took it where I was hoping... I had very little to do with directing after showing her where I wanted the session to go... there is no substitute for countless hours on production sets... she made this happen...
davidrb control of illumination pretty much happen the day before the shoot with many hours of testing the setup on a manikin... I've shot this scenario so many times yet with each talent it's often so very different... this dynamic can (and does) make for an exciting time on set... Again many thanks for your kind remarks...
Dennis thank you for the compliment... and yes this talent is amazing... btw, she is in high demand in Europe where she frequently travels for location shoots... it is so wonderful to work with a talent of her experience and expertise...
Bob I'm glad you found the third image of merit... many others have shared the same thoughts here... I appreciate your taking the time to review and reflect...
thank you for the glowing compliment LarryN... rest assured it is the model that made this all happen...
