Fineart with Shasta Wonder (Patreon)

I shot these in conjunction with a sculptural nude workshop in Copenhagen some years ago but recently edited them. I'm rather fond of both of them, though.

Lighting on the top is a 57" zeppelin'er with no diffuser, so really a shiny silver umbrella. The second is the same modifier, but with a diffuser, so the light disperses fast around the shapes.

I find silver umbrellas amazing when working with models with dark skin.

A critical property of sculptural nudes is to minimize distractions. I prefer a very minimalistic look to mimic the feel you have when gazing at a marble sculpture.
