Cold fog is very fun to work with--it is a little more controllable than regular warm fog ( which I posted not so long ago.) The trick is to keep it cool as long as possible so I have an oversized piece of pressed board with a black finish on which I lay ice bags for about half an hour or more before I start to shoot.
Very, very interesting approach and very well done. If looking for a couple nit-picking suggestions would be to crop out black left bottom corner mat in #2 (or cover with fog in PP) and in #1 I found shadow on face harsher than rest of shadowing, kind of distorting her mouth. Still awarding you "Best of Show". <grin>
Now this is nude.... Love the lighting on #1.. 2 strip boxes?? Just kissing the skin very well done... Keep them coming

These are some of the best images I've seen on this site. They demonstrate the wisdom of the statement "Less is more."

Please explain "Cold Fog", did you use a smoke machine or dry ice?

Fog machine with low lying fog which required a machine with an ice tray to make the fog cold. Very inexpensive at a "Halloween store" on sale at the store just before it closed for the season.

So much potential with this sort of work. Great concept and really good idea because you have explored the possibilities. I feel the fog is just slightly over exploited to the point it dominates whereas the model should. I'd love to see some more work with you/model continuing this theme.
