This is another shot from my first work with art model Dorrie Mack,
back in May. (It's actually work-safe unless you squint real hard.)

K-3, DA* 55/1.4, f:2.2, 1/100th sec, 100 ISO.
One light source, daylight. I positioned her in the open mouth of a
black v-flat (4x8' sheets of foam core) at right angles to the very
large studio windows.
Comments welcome!
Truly she is squint worthy.
There is just so much goodness in this image it's hard to start. Her
hair is just sort of there, tousled a little bit, which I am afraid, my
friend, distracts greatly. But then the viewer is drawn to, and then
drawn into her beautiful eyes, The light is nicely directional, but just
a bit too bright for my taste. Tearing oneself reluctantly away from her
eyes, the viewer glides languorously down her right cheek, and comes to
rest on what has to be as close to perfect lips as can be found, with
just a hint of a natural pout.
Eventually, one must consider the rest of the image, and look past her
chin, both strong and determined, but at the same time soft and alluring.
Her shoulder is a bit rounded, it looks great from the front, a teeny
bit odd at her back. I think either turning her a teeny bit left, or
moving you a smidgen to the left to cover the little bit of her back
that is visible. The torn sweater is a really good prop, the gratuitous
nipple is unnecessary, but appreciated.
Thank you for sharing this one.
