I'm an outdoor photographer by trade. Landscapes and nature are my area of passion. However, I'm having a good time shooting with models indoors. That being said I'm looking for ideas that use a couch/sofa as the only object in the photo with the model. So let's see some of the best out there. Can you show me the best photos of models on a sofa/couch?

Thank you and Happy New Year!

You should check out Ben Telfords portfolio

He conducted a series of shoots using sofas as a feature of the shot.

Hope that helps

Well, it's not a couch but, you get the idea.

I've never really shot a good photo on a sofa. The format is just not right. You either have to step way back and get the whole sofa, or get in close and chop some of it off. Either way you have that blank space above that wants to be filled with something.
