The Elf. This was shot in November. It was cold. Just before the first bits of snow hit the ground, but Tina took one for the team and posed without complaining. I was using a special Tilt&Shift lens, which requires a bit of fiddling, and only has manual focus, so posing and shoot took longer than a normal. This particular photos has an exposure of 3 seconds.

In this genre of photography I wanted to make my photos tastefully sensual, but still almost abstract and simplistic in shape and form. This one was from a series I shot in my first home studio where I had set up my lights and black & white background rolls in the living room.

After re-starting my photography journey by focusing on astro photography, which have beautiful subjects that (almost) never change I wanted to shoot another kind of beautiful subject. This was one of my first successful artistic nude shoots, with Tina. I felt I got the lighting soft and nice, and the post is not to provocative and leaves a little to the imagination. Shot with the Canon EOS 1D Mark II and Canon 50mm with one large soft box over the model
