Flour Girl (18+)

I decided to work with Isabelle again on this one as I knew
she could pull it off. We worked on this last Sat. The shoot took
us about 3 hours in total. The room was about 35 degrees F and every
20 frames or so we had to get her close to the propane heater to warm up.
I shot a ton of frames and havent had much time to go thru them yet.

This was one from the beginning of the shoot. As always feel free to
let me know what you think.

Amazing location but not getting this at all. That's just me dude, nothing to get worked-up over. I'm usually the first one to NEVER say anything like "it just doesn't make sense to me" but this one's a bit hard to grasp. Like I said, just an opinion.

I like the photo but I don't "get" the title.

I read the photo as something TOTALLY different. Something that I'm not sure is fitting on this forum, but I'll say it anyway.

What I take from it is; drugs and associated places of use, coupled with a mishap...

Hopefully that's PC enough that I don't get bashed.

The image is strong IMO (read: I like) but wonder about her arms crossed like that (?)..... I'm definitely wanting to see more of this shoot and appreciate the complexities of it.

Overall, I *think* she needs to be made more vulnerable, unless, of course,,,, she was actually baking a cake.

Dave,
it's an "interesting" image...
But, just like prior commenters, I don't "get" it :hide.
So it's difficult to provide an extended commenting on whether the lighting, pose or props/environment work or not...

Hey guys, no worries about getting it or not..It is what it is. I simply wanted to work with a completely different look than what I have previously been able to shoot at this location. I knew I wanted a white look in contrast with the wall and surroundings..So I used flour to achieve it.

As far as story well I know for sure that any given photo can be read various amount of ways pending the viewer.

Cheers

I looked at this photo yesterday, and saw no comments, I was going to comment on not getting it but I figured some one would get it and comment... apparently not...

I like the location, the colors are great, the light is awesome, the model gorgeous... but the flour... I don't get it... I even like the tilted view... flour...

Thanks for sharing...

great shot but the arm positioning isn't doing it for me looks like she is going for a wana be gangsta or something haha

Hmmm, thats an interesting take on the arm position...One that I wouldnt of thought. Thats the beauty of posting it in a place like this. There is always a completely different view from someone else.

Cheers

Dave

I like it, flour included. It's got a great location, sweet lighting and a model that appears to know what you wanted to capture. Really nice image all around.
