Description I have disabled comments for this photo. Please be considerate to other Deviant art members and STOP with the negative, nasty/hateful body comments. I am THIN, but I am NOT unhealthy.... What many who are NOT photographers or models do not realize is that LIGHTING, shadows, and the pose and posture of this shot are what make the rib cage so dramatic. If you are one with something negative to say, please get over it and quit wasting your life on pointless, negative emotion. We are ALL human beings deserving of love, and PEACE.

The model is me, Katlin

I was so excited for these images, Echelon is just a wonderful photographer in every sense of the word! His lighting for these shots is just absolutely phenomenal.... We also shot some with different hair outside, in a beautiful ball gown as well, so I am looking forward to those!

He arranged the awesome hairstylist, of which we discussed using fake hair in a variety of ways before the shoot... But realistically, this is definitely all her wonderful vision...

Many thanks to my awesome Cousin who let me borrow her great jewelry for some really lovely shots!

I disagree. You should have enough manners and respect for someone to not comment on their weight on a PUBLIC profile, it really is just plain rude and I don't believe someone wouldn't have the common sense to see that.

And so there's another person? So what? That suddenly makes rude, invasive and offensive personal comments RIGHT?

My face looks sooo different in every photo! And you don't want my face, your own face is adorrrable!

My body is actually not as thin as it appears here. Its a combination of dramatic lighting, pose (my ribs are lifted, good models know how to pose for bone definition), and post-process to deepen the shadows.

This is fantastic! But you look really skinny. It adds to the picture though, makes it disturbing to look at.

I'm honestly really not that skinny nor underweight for my size I actually have a large rib cage, and because I am lifting my arms up (the key posing trick for any model to define their ribs) and lifting my ribs, it automatically makes me appear to be thinner and have more ribs

I didn't to offend you and I wasn't saying you looked underweight. It is a really good picture. I'm the same way, not underweight but I look super bony. You have good modeling skills and it's an excellent picture.

Oh no worries, I wasn't offended at all! I just wanted to clarify that I'm really not overly thin! Its all the big rib cage, haha

Thanks! This is still one of my all time favorite shots of me... Wish there were more from this set, the lighting was just sooo bad ass!

I think this is some of your best work, in all honest -- though you know I love all your stuff. And I love the lighting.

I agree. This is the quality I have been doing the last few months and want to keep up with... Not so much this style, but definitely this quality of an image. I mean, hell, you can see my GOOSEBUMPS from the cold... its amazing.

Its actually winning on the model mayhem POTD contest, I found out about it around 12pm and it was winning on its own! I just started announcing it on Facebook and to a few friends to see if I can get it some more votes... I have never won a POTD photo,so it would be AWESOME to win... sadly I feel kind of cheated at the same time since the competition for this voting really isn't as good as it usually is!
