Description
This is from an old shoot, but i have always liked it. I think it's pretty retro, but that isn't such a bad thing. And it's very contrasty for me, but i think it works as a semi-cross-over graphic piece (whatever that means).As some of you may know i am obsessed with the whole good girl/ bad girl duality....this is Nashia...she represents that duality rather well in real life and in front of the camera.
She has a slight Charlize theron thing going on here....and god damn, is that woman yummy.
Fashion is fun, but fussy to shoot.

I see the contrast here that you're speaking of... and you and the model both captured it well. I love the Donna Reed feel of the clothing, yet she's surround with cold black steel, posing herself in a suggestive way, and has a huge tattoo on her arm. Well done, once again.

Yep. As said in the title, it's all about the contrast. The fabric of the skirt looks amazing. I'm faving this, i think it's the first one I care to fave b and w shot.

I am so completely intrigued with this picture. I could stare at it all day long and still not get tired of it. You are a wonderful artist. I could only dream of aspiring to your levels. I am only posting pictures of myself right now although I have a strong passion for photography...people mostly and will soon post pictures I have done of others....my camera is so broke...hopefully fixed soon...I am saying all of this to say that I look to you as a sort of mentor. I love your work!

Love the photo, to has a really 60's feel to it, almost could be an shot for an ad campaign for "the new working woman" she makes you feel like she has a direction and she is going straight for it and nothing is going to get in her way. great play on contrasts here as well.
very well done

i'm baffled at even knowing where to begin praising your work. this surely get's a :fav: from me. you definitely deserve all of these favorites and pageviews on your photography. if you ever need a male model, i live in philly (haha. hope that doesn't sound creepy)

The metal work looks especially good in contrast with the white background. The woman looks good since her skirt looks so 50's and her tattoo just makes you go ......huh?
I love it.

I am no photographer...in fact i dropped out because i hated my teacher, but damn this photo is cool. I love anything retro, and this even with the tattoo just captures that 50's (kinda) vogue fashion feeling..nice work!

I agree with you saying this looks retro, she looks like she just got off an airplane or is watching a car race or something like that
Great photo.

I love this shot. Very retro. She is quite pretty and I love her dress. The tattoo is also awesome!

Superb.
Reminds me of "Birds" by Hitchcock, but it is only a vague (vogue, hahaha) association...

Beautiful work, I love the high contrast, yet you haven't lost any detail at all, which I have found is sometimes a problem with black and white
It has a sort of retro feel going on, and I love how the model essentially gives off the feeling of being quite innocent and clean but as soon as you notice the tattoos and black nail polish, she has much more edge
This image slightly reminded me of Cindy Sherman's movie stills .. wonderfully done

Certainly a 'retro' feel to it for me too.. and I love the angle of the shot and the contrasts as well- not just the colors but the contrast of the old-fashioned feeling scene & dress and the distinctly modern woman, with her hair and what appears to be a lovely-looking tattoo.

I think I'd LOVE this if the contrast wasn't so high. But it is still a great shot, regardless.

i dig chicks with the 50's look and full sleeve tattoos... they always make for the best pictures.

Beautiful perspective and amazing contrast. Simply wonderful.

This is so wonderfully done. The contrast works so well, showing off the girl (i think the skirt in particular) very well. You're right it does give kind of a retro feel, but i really like that. She's very beautiful and this is a very beautiful shot
