This piece is beautiful on so many levels and hits me hardest in the camera e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/> because I'm a photographer as well. I identify with this woman because she's naked and therefore exposed as she leans into her equipment. From the strain of her feet, the crook of her shoulders, and the twisted angle of her hand and arm, I feel the movement of her as she puts herself into the work. In this way, she is an embodiment of the pleasurable pain that is the creation of images through the camera. The harsh dramatic lighting that the subject is stepping towards is perfect. It not only symbolizes the photographer's push towards some divine precipice, but it also etches this woman's complete topography into the scene. The red satin cloth over her face serves to enhance the expression of duality between the pleasure and pain of image making because it is the color of passion, both in love and in hate, while at the same time it adds a slight feeling of solidarity and comfort. The shroud over her face also illustrates, symbolically, the obscurity of the artist behind the camera. We are, by consequence, faceless constructors, tensing our minds, bodies and souls to find that perfect image, that perfect shot. This piece personifies that perfectly. Thank you so much for creating this piece and I hope to enjoy lots more of your work in the future.

I love how the muscles/structure of her arm show up while she's holding the camera at that angle.

I don't know why, but the first thing that popped into my head was "oh my god, that's so funny."
Don't get me wrong, it's gorgeous. Just funny to see a photo of a model being a photographer I guess.

Stunning use if imagery here and color scheme. I love the uninteresting colors used apart from the red that really emphasizes the photographer's point. The shadows cast are very well thought out!

This reminds me of the joke about the ad in the back of the 1950s how to books like Popular Mechanics. Take pictures of beautiful women in the nude. Turns out you the photographer was naked, not the model.
As for the photo, which is nicely done, it would have benefited with the camera on a tripod and a subject being photographed. eugene

Very nice piece of work, the lighting and tone are excellent. I remember reading once there was a artist who use to paint in the nude
