I think the B&W saves this picture. For some reason I like b&W nudes better than color ones. However, there is something about the pose that seems awkward. Like the model was nervous or something. Not sure how to put it into words though. |

What is the model selling in the photo; This is what we know: She is not selling sex (covered parts), or underware (she 's covering the cut of the briefs). I digress in saying, the posing is important_body's communicate visually.
AS I mentioned earlier, drop the wrist in a relaxed manner.
If she brings her foreward shoulder around, the whole breast issue goes away behind the shoulder. And the focus then goes to the briefs;
Bring the foreward hand further back and drop it down, fingers relaxed...
we are talking about pretzils right? |

| It is extremely dififcult for an amateur photographer to get an amateur model to relax, let alone nude. as far as the pics......I see panty marks from the elastic......can take hours to go away sometimes. Have them remove all binding clothes long before the shoot. There are some skin blemishes as well the could have been easly edited out. You were looking for sensual? Get rid of the white background. Stark white conveys anything bjut sensual. I shoot quite a few nudes and bodyscapes myself. Not good mind you, but My wife and I love it. It has made her more understanding and patient with me and the art form. If your model is your "significant Other" as is mine, It helps reaffirm our trust even more. Keep shooting. It's not rocket science and there are no rules. Besides, It's a blast. |

I appreciate the comments.
I should probably post the originals, those are much darker. I had my lighting way off because I was trying to go for a darker look. On my camera I thought I caught it but when I pulled it up on my computer it looked too shadowed so I lightened it. I guess maybe I should have stuck with my original thought.
I also did photograph some with the face in it but I just didn't see what it did to help the picture, fill the frame with what you want people to see...right?
I did like my background but maybe it wasn't right for this situation that's why I cropped a lot of it out, it did take away from the picture to me...though I never see these things until after I pull up the pictures, I have to learn to see them before I take them.
Thank you! |

Very good. Ligting is always hard on nudes. Every figure is diffrent and needs diffrent lighting,
This is a one light shot 
This is a 5 light shot with a reflector 
This is a basic 2 light shot 
You could have used a reflector to help with the low key side, but all in all good.
