This is an artistic nude? I almost thought it was a glamor portrait… and I mean the in the nicest way possible. What really grabs here in this photo is the lighting and the setting. The lighting here is very soft and natural (I'm assuming you used natural light here) which adds to the demurring of the model, Miss Champagne. It adds a softness to her already curvaceous form and that makes this photo really stand out to me. There was real thought into how the light would impact this shot and that is one reason why I really like it. The setting here is also rather distinct, too. I love that this isn't some studio-esque setting but what looks like a loft or drawing room in some Victorian Age house or the lounge of a Mississippi riverboat; it adds beauty to already beautiful scene. Miss Champagne is also a very lovely model. She strikes a very gorgeous pose here which appears effortless and yet demanding at the same time. I get the feeling that she is inviting us to look but is also insecure about her her own beauty. Tapping that reserve of emotional resonance is difficult, even in the most professional of models. Anyway, before I turn this into a wall of text, I should say this photo isn't without its flaws. I would like to have seen a more dynamic sitting pose, something with more angularity in it, but it works nevertheless. Although, and this common amongst photographers, analog and digital artist and practically anyone who creates, the sheering of Miss Champagne's left knee makes that part of the photo disjointed. Slight shift to your right would have allowed her left knee in the frame and thus centered her into the shot. A little more of the background would have appreciated as well… All in all, a very well done photo that begs of me this question: Where did you shoot this?!
