Description Taken on a shoot yesterday on my fire escape. Thus the play on words in the title.
This is the lovely and amazing Nadja....and her fabulous dress.
I was going for a very graphic fashion edge to our shoot. She made it easy.

Not exactly my aesthetic, but I think it's done so well that's it both exemplary and transcending. Cool photo.

Very dynamic.
I'm not so sure the distortion of her torso is all that effective, but it's not too much of an issue.

Lovely palette.

Spectacular composition. When I saw the thumbnail I almost thought you'd made the background b/w and only had her in colour. That dress just really snaps you to attention and demands your eye.

Two thumbs and two big toes up

direhaggis [2003-06-12 00:26:40 +0000 UTC]

The lighting is so severe, yet her cheekbones and and form seem to bend it to her will; it lends quite well to the imposing feeling she seems to be expressing. I have to partly disagree, though, regarding the effectiveness of the background. The light has washed out almost all the exposed, visibly defined metal that surrounds her that is cut at perpendicular angles; the only saving grace in that aspect is the strip of white light on the left rail in the foreground; even so, while I can mentally appreciate this aspect of the composition, it visually leaves something to be desired for me. Overall, quite stunning.

I like the red vs. b/w ... it gives a retro tuch to it, that does it for me +fav.

Beautiful. I like the background, as I think it goes with the lines of the dress and sunglasses.

hansepe [2003-06-11 22:13:29 +0000 UTC]

Actually I can't decide whether I love or hate this photograph - I guess by default its a great photograph since it evokes that type of response. The background (that everybody else loves) is what gives me pause.
The model, pose, framing and location are awesome... still...

This is impressive as most all of your work is.

i love the sash . . .
she's pretty as a package
and there are so many mirrored colors
and shapes -- her lipstick & dress
the black in her sunglasses
and the curves in the stairwells.
beautiful photo!

What a beautiful shot. I love the brilliant, yet crisp red combined with the contrasting starkness of the surroundings. There is much for me to learn from here!

If I may, the little patch of brown at lower left seems a little out of place. No? Just a thought from someone that couldn't hope to match your work and knows it.

I love how you trapped my eyes within the color of her dress... It is a trap and it is very difficult to resist from it.

She looks like a manequin.

PHENOM attitude and pose! the facial structure is awesome!! great glasses and nice lines everywhere!!! her flat red planes on the skirt are a nice break in all the lines of the background.....great perspective, theblur in the back is perfect-the title is hilariously ironic too!

graphically very interesting! really and i adore the tones of her dress and how you managed to have a almost monochrome (only with orange and blue as complementary colours!!) background against her! fabulous dress, fabulous work!

I agree with the others, this is fantastic. I love the background, the dress, colors, everything. The best part is the shadow on her face, it looks great. This really would not look one bit out of place on the cover of a fashion magazine.
