Amaya had the idea of doing a nude photoshoot down at one of her favorite spots in West Virginia. So I took Rachael and Laurie down there to do the shoot with her.
We got there at the crack of dawn to catch golden hour light which provided some amazing results in my opinion.
This is actually one of my favorite shots I’ve ever taken, I think. The problem with being "an artist" is that no matter how much other people like your work, you’re always your own toughest critic. There’s usually tons I don’t like about any given picture I take. This one on the other hand makes me feel like I might actually have a smidgen of talent.
okay…i’m ready to become a tree hugger too.
@blindspot1330: well, there are lots of trees around. 🙂
Wonderful shot. I really like the lights and shadows. Very dramatic yet soft and dreamy.
@Kandi Carol: thank you. This entire shoot was a lot of fun to do. I think the light did a great job of accentuating this particular pose.
She reminds me of a forest nymph here… love it…
@adayinthelife: heh. Thanks. Someone called one of my other girls a naiad (water nymph) in another pic(NSFW) from the same shoot.
Feels right out of a passionate novel. very real and sensual. DH Lawence would be pround. This one is great.
@moonjazz: I’m glad you like it. It does have a novel cover appeal to it, doesn’t it? I hadn’t really thought about it that way.
Hi, I’m an admin for a group called Nude Nature, and we’d love to have this added to the group!
Oh yeah, I can totally see that. 🙂
beautiful light. great expression on her face. amazing textures throughout the shot…the tree, the rock, the ground. great shot!
@firstnudes: thank you, glad you like it.
