Description
Model isI originally envisioned this shot as being much more complicated. The mental picture I had involved a black velvet-lined pool with a large scrim-holder over top, backlit with a set of reflectored hot lights. So, I built it (in my industrial shed) and it turned out that there wasn't enough light and the water was heart-stoppingly cold. I know, because I tried it. So then it evolved into "maybe let's shoot it outdoors" on a hot summer day. And the scrim gave way to a blue cloudless sky. Ultimately, what we wound up with was very very simple - and a good way to cool off.

Great shot - love the movement in the water just behind her leg. There's a real sense of a moment caught "in action".

Simple is good. In this case, the contrast between the texture of her skin and the smooth surfaces of the water really focuses one's attention, as well as the contrasts between the dark spots and highlights on the water. Wonderful piece!

I *love* the curves and the way the water plays around them, and...good lord, we even have the same shaped butt! That's it, I'm cornering my mother and demanding to know about my twin.
