Description
Self-PortraitThis is one of my earliest nude art shots (from a bit over a year ago). I have cropped it down to create a more simple and more abstract image... the original is a bit more crude lol.
I had no idea about lighting back then but just happened to get really lucky with this shot. Beginners luck I guess.

This might sound really really really weird, but I like the way your foot is pointing toward the light source!!! It's beautiful!
Lick!

You're presenting your body in a fascinating way with all of these pictures. There's a purpose to it and it's shored up with skill, hard work and genetic wonder. If your anus and genitals are showing in an image of this sort the last thing I would call it is crude. More like honest, interesting and beautiful.
At some point I hope we can stop thinking of our genitals and anal areas as vulgar or crude. They're integral to our bodies and in context of what you're doing here as beautiful and as relevant as any other part of you. There are a lot of photographers and artists today who are presenting these parts of our bodies in a way that we've not often seen before and they, like you, are helping restore some sanity and balance to the way we see ourselves.
Love your work and look forward to each new piece.

Thank you, and I totally agree. I say the original was a bit more "crude" only in a joking manner. As I have said before, I do not find any part of the human body to look crude. The composition of this image just seemed to look best cropped in this fashion. Adding anything more on the left side would have just been a distraction in this particular case.

The cropping is masterful.
Technically superb.
The lighting is excellent.
I love the definition of the muscles. I don't mean this in a sexual way (I think), but I would love to just run my hands over those leg muscles, they are just awesome.
Great composition. I love it. Well done.

Haha, thank you. I do love my legs as well (used to hate them before I started working out though lol.)

Be it new or not it's definately something to look at. The curves of your arm, leg and chest are phenomenal as is the dips and protrusions of your underarm and ancle, Great shot.

Thanks. I think my favorite part of this shot may be the way my foot is pointed towards the light. Partly because it adds interest and a sense of motion, and partly just because I love feet lol.

Thanks. I absolutely detest feet. Well in pictures they're fine but anyother way its awful, my sister sticks her feet at me.. Its liek a Phobia.

Haha, okay, I will admit that I don't like all feet! I love girls feet (they are tiny, delicate, and beautiful) and I love my own feet as well... but that is the extent of it. I actually used to have a HUGE phobia of feet when I was really little. Then one day, when I was a little older, I seen a picture of a beautiful woman with her feet arched and got intrigued... I wasn't sure why, but I couldn't stop staring at her feet. I was mesmerized by their beauty and, ever since that day, I have found feet to be just about the most erotic part of the body for me.

I love the cropping but having said that would like to see what was cropped!

I can see where this might have been a bit more crude...but by framing it as you have... it really has turned into a wonderful photo.
Nicely done!
Happy New Year !! May it be bright and shiny for you !!

FFFFFFF I envy your skills so much.
Do you think you could post some tips on how to be more flexible?
That would be awesome.
Thanks

It's one thing to have such amazing physical skills. It's another to have such a beautiful body to work with. And it's quite another thing altogether to be able to craft such interesting pictures of yourself the way you do. Keep it going bud, you're good.

wow, what perfect lines.
i wish i was as flexible as you, darlin. bravo. ^3^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you. And it wouldn't take all that much work if you wanted to become this flexible... stretching a couple or three times a week--it's just a matter of doing it right. I will be posting tips at some point for anyone interested.
