Illy.... I love working with Illy, she's only in the next village from me and mad as a box of frogs... No cares given, gets on with the job, say's what she means and is definately one of the models I really enjoy working with.
Now, it's been a good while since I last worked with her, and she does a lot, and I mean a lot of nude stuff, from art nude to blatent open leg work.
Given my recent events in my personal life, I now have nobody to answer to apart from myself, so fancied some of the more spicy open leg stuff... But I want to make it a bit more 'classy' than just open your legs and i'll light it up like a christmas tree.
Shot at Illy's home, I aimed to travel light.. Something I usually struggle to do, but I took 1 light, 2 modifiers, my camera and a couple of lenses... I'm sick of carting stuff about that I don't use. Especially into somebodies house.!
Using her dining table as a prob, one light above her.. I forget wether it was the ad200 or ad600.. but chances are it was the 200.
Shooting with Illy is just fun, we spend most of the time chatting shit and just a fraction actually shooting... She knows her body, she should do!! lol shes a model and its the only body she's got.
Me? I'm playing at it.. Twiddle a few buttons, play with the lights a bit and then make a noise if I like the image on the back of the camera..
But this shoot was just what the doctor ordered for me.. It got me out, shooting with somebody that is fun and pushing myself a bit more in the challenge to make art nude into art a little rude.
As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts on the images, constructive criticism is always welcomed - but please make it about my work and not the model!

Nice lighting and processing for the effect!
Thank you pal
Top notch mate
This is exactly what I thought. She looks like she has "attitude." And the monochrome, and lighting, enhance that...these are some amazing shots @richgaynor.
Thank you so much..
Im wanting to try and make erotica and hard erotica. Not cheesey porn
There would be a good market for that. Portraying classy nudity (including erotica) is a specialized skill. I've been thinking about putting more nudity in my renders (on steemit, need to do it on hive also). Renders are much easier than real people and real-life lighting :)
Using a food analogy, for me, the personality (and story) of the model is the main course...and nudity adds to the flavor, like clothes do. With cheesy porn, sex and nudity are the main course, and there isn't much variety or flavor (depth of personality).
When I look at a nude photo…I want to be overpowered by the personality of the model and the scene in which they are in…and it's just coincidental that the model happens to be nude.
And you and Illy portray this perfectly in these shots.
Well my opinion is that you got some great pictures, and keep behaving like a kid because you will enjoy life more.
Greetings to Illy! 😁
