Lighting makes a difference

I agree, we each prefer a different "cup of tea." (I drink only Dargeeling from the Lop-Chu estate.) 
But I do often use the expression "my cup of tea" and have used the expression here as I think it is appropriate in expressing "I don't particularly like this but it doesn't mean it is bad."
Here are a couple where bodies are seen only shaped by light--I like them but one appears Twiggy like while the other is more the common shape (in my mind) that I associate with "womanly.) Still---no neck!

Interesting concept and lighting.

Wow! They are both ghostly and other-worldly but they are both amazing photos. I love the concept.

I tend to agree with you and the use of lighting. That makes a nude photograph, or any photograph, art. Most I see here are just pictures of naked people.

Compared with Timmers' image (Day 009) these are abstract enough to stand as such.

Beautifully done. Is the light directly behind the model?
One softer light behind and to camera left and one harder edged behind and off to camera right.

vertigo, here is a set up that worked quite well in creating abstractions of the female figure. I took a long roll of drafting velum (about 6 feet) and rolled it in a circle attaching it to a counter balanced boom. The seam was in the rear. A single flash head placed on the floor and later mounted to the open top of the 'cone' facing down. I liked the results best with an open bulb (no reflector) illumination. One important thing was that the use of a modeling light was a mistake as the chimney effect of the heat was quite a bit especially when the flash head was on the floor. The model could press on the velum with body areas and create voids (shadows) with tapering from dark to lighter areas.
As usual, it was the woman Nan that I was working with who came up with the idea right out of the blue, her creative ideas were amazing! She would leave it to me to come up with creative interpretations of her inspirations. We were a great team!

Ruth Bernhardt ( the best of this world) was my mentor and is why I watch this forum, It’s great to see some beautiful imagery of female form instead of just naked women. Good work!!
