Artist's Comments

This is another of my Femme Elemental series, studying femininity and sensuality. As usual, I'm concentrating on the semi-abstract curves of the female form. My beautiful model Lindsay was kind enough to let me spray her with this light, oily stuff that made her skin shiny, then water to make the nice little droplets. Light is provided by a single softbox from behind.

with the intense black on one side and intense white on another - you almost do not realize its human form until you say so - it could be something manmade almost - the hair/water texture and all - almost like a plastic

Oh wow. I love the lighting and the water. That's so awesome looking. Like ` devilicious, I didn't know it was a human until the description.
Excellent job. :nod:

wow, I love this, you can sort of tell it's a human form, but not which way is up, and the trick with the water and oil is very cool, gives an amazing texture to it, almost like tree bark.

gorgeous--i never would have though that was water and oil on her. it looks like a different texture, almost like a mixture or water and sand to me. none the less it's a great idea, and i love the angle you shot this at. makes the viewers eyes go right down the entire image. beautiful work as always there kevin. :nod:

There really are few shapes as fascinating as the human form - both female and male. Females forms are about subtle flowing curves, sensuality, which this shot shots really nicely. The oil has given a really neat textural counterpoint to the skin, a bit like blistering (take that how you will!), or bark on a tree from a distance.
