Wanda11_07_04.jpg

This one makes up for Friday's flop. I have been feeling like it was time to do a nice black and white. I like the soft and warm feel to this.

WOW .. such a sexy shot of a very very pretty woman

I think this one turned out great! Another one of My favorites. For some reason the thought of pretending to be shy and timid for the camera that day popped into My head. Probably because I always get a bit nervous in front of the camera. I had the pose clearly in My mind before I even stepped into the studio. I described what I wanted the shot to look like and Bill of course produced it for Me!

This is so great! Beautiful, tasteful, and sexy. And the photo is pretty nice too.

I to think this is the best shot I've seen from the two of you.

Pamela I think you said it all: "Masterful Shot Bill & Wanda".

Absolutely exquisite! Your level of excellence as photographer and subject continues to grow as your wonderful year continues. Thank you both for sharing each day with us!!!

Bill, this is head and shoulders above the Friday shot!!! This shows Wanda as the extremely sensuous woman that she is, but tempered with a delicate vulnerability with her head and eye position. I like this sort of contrast in a subject. This shot can be so many different things just by changing the positions of her eyes and mouth/smile. Looking up into the lens would be much more overtly inviting sexually...like come and get it ;-) So many posibilities from this basic position.

Masterful shot Bill and Wanda

You just keep getting better and better. I am sure your work is making Peter Gowland thinking about retirement. This is a classic photo.

Bill, I think this is one of your better efforts of figure photography. Did you try any with Wanda glancing up into the lens while maintaining the position of her chin/head? Wanda's eyes are, IMHO, absolutely stunning..it might be a neat variation. Did you try any in color with something like a Velvia color effect? The gloves are a nice touch...well done.

This is a great image.
Would you try the same shot with a sepia finish? I'll bet it would be great.
Nicely done, Bill.

Howard, I used three flash all reflected with umbrellas. One on a boom above her as a hair light with a pretty good spill on to the background.One was almost directly behind her which acted as a rim light and then another just to her right and slightly in front to highlight her face and breast. The latter was about 2 stops below the other two.

Very nice touch, lighting just great.
John Buffin08-Nov-2004 03:37

Like a film star! Excellent job on the lighting.
Howard Sandler08-Nov-2004 02:54
