Stunning! How did she achieve that pose? Perfect 90 degree bend at her wrist?

Thank you for your kind words and continue support Don...
Albeit virtually all credit goes to the aggregate team synergy latent within provided by Kelsey, Devon and most importantly the creator of the ensembles, Tique who's hand made textile artistry we showcased in this collaborative..
She furnished thousands of dollars worth on Haute Couture garments for the shoot after meeting with Kelsey and I in her Washington DC studio.
This is how the Fashion Industry flourishes within our diverse cultures. While NYC is the epicenter of the Fashion Industry in America our Studio hopes to put Washington DC on the Fashion Catwalk circuit.
I actually became aware of Tique at a Washington DC Fashion Event thus after finding the right talent we approached her for the possibility of creating catalog fashion imagery for her marketing efforts. That's how this image happen... I was only one player in the mix of outstanding talent.
Again many thanks Don...

"Such a unique pose for this doll-faced waif.
Agreed raymondh... Kelsey is indeed a classic "Doll" who's mom brought her to our studio in hopes that we might be able to guide Kelsey on her Dream Career as a waif fashion model in the footsteps of Kate Moss (both being underage to work professional without a guardian's consent (and/or becoming an emancipated minor)
btw My on-line presence on "Broken Doll Models" has brought other talent to our studio in pursuit of this same young girl's dream... Most young Guys simply want to be Football Stars, while their female counterparts are totally focused on the Fashion Catwalks of New York; Paris; Milan; Tokyo and London.
I have seen this in spades here on UHH where the membership is predominately male (and pretty much naive about High Fashion) albeit we did have one female fashion shooter posting here a half decade ago however she soon left to post on flickr (wise move)
Thanks again for your thoughtful reflections on Kelsey raymondh... She is a one in a million talent...

At the end of the day that's all that truly matters...

"How did she achieve that pose? Perfect 90 degree bend at her wrist?"
We have floor to ceiling huge full length mirrors in the Studio where the talent can study their pose dynamic in real-time. Kelsey soon learn how to use them effectively... It fact Richard Avedon deployed a huge mirror directly behind his camera when shooting in his studio... I took his lead here Julian and duplicated same... The model's LOVE it!
btw I just did a maternity shoot with a former Agency Model who decided at the last minute she wanted "High Key" renderings... And she missed having those mirrors... Well, those mirrors are massive and weight too much to move around like Post-It Notes.
btw, we managed to pull it off anyway with some arm waving and verbal coaching.
Below is one of the Concept Images by © Igor D on flickr... It's from a NYC Fashion Editorial Photographer. The best of the best gravitate toward NYC... Why? It's where all the major advertising agencies are located. Funny how Money changes everything.
Hope this helps or is at least food for thought.
Again thanks so much for your very kind words Julian
