Thank you for sharing.
Very talented and impressive work!
Thank you so much, Bianca. It's been my privilege to work with so many talented models. I couldn't ask for better collaborators.
About the time I retired, I came across the works of the early 20th century art nude photographers online - Alfred Cheney Johnston, Albert Arthur Allen, Frantisek Drtikol, Manasse, etc., etc. They inspired me to try my hand. I added your photo to my favorites gallery because I think it perfectly embodies the style of that era. It's one of the things I mentioned in a comment that I really like about your work.
My interest in history, more than my interest in the practice of photography, led me to the work of some of the photographers you mentioned. Once I began to pursue the practice they certainly influenced the direction in which I headed. Along the way, I became enamored with the work of numerous practitioners of the wet plate process, particularly Ed Ross. Although I am strictly a digital photographer, I like to believe all those photographers would give me an encouraging nod. I did, in fact, receive a few from Ed Ross, which I consider a huge honor.
Your portfolio is fantastic! Thanks for sharing your talents with us and for being an active part of the Model Society community! Let us know if we can help with anything!
