April 21, 2014 3:30pm This is my favorite in your portfolio thus far. It reminds me of two separate styles; The hard woman characters of the 1930s-40s era film Noir, but also of the poses and lighting of the early Playboy black and whites images of the late 50s-early 60s. And in both styles, it is perfect!!
This is simply wonderful. Lighting, composition with the exaggerated shadow 'ahead' of you.. not following you (perhaps the reason I see Film Noir so strongly), skin tones, facial expression, beautiful bodyscape and the perceived 'attitude' in the eyes and turn of the head.
I love this one, I'm jealous of you, the photographer and everyone else involved in this image.... all for the right reasons, of course.
