Very unique and skillfully done photograph. I don't know if I've said this before, but I think you might be my favorite portrait photographer on DA

this is the stand out of the two -
she lights up like the moon on
silver water . . . how was this lit?
the contrast is perfect and i love
that tree just under the wing.
her expression is beautiful
muted sexy and strong
without being over the top
or in your face - subtle.
it's nice to see a twist on
classic aeronautics - so nice
to see her IN or OUTSIDE the
place, instead of painted on the
side
and what kind of plane is this?
how do you know the model?
that conludes this Q&A!

Your comments always just reeks of such sexy intelligence
Thanks for blessing me with one!
To answer your questions: It was lit with a prophoto flash system (1 1,5x1,5 meter softbox about 10 feet behind me and a ringflash mounted on the lens, most kindly lent to me by a professional photographer. If only I had 10000$ for such a system, it was pure joy to work with).
The plane is a russian L29-dolphin (small jetfighter). The pilot told me it used to be the most used plane in the USSR's airforce. The helmet he got from some legendary russian ace (forgot his name).
The model I only met yesterday. She's a friend of a photographer friend of mine. I might upload another shot from yesterday in color, just so you can see her eyes, such a bright blue that I instantly thought she wore those SF contactlenses

oh and p.s.
it's totally HOT that you can attribute
words and commentary as being both
sexy and intelligent - two tastes that
go great together.
i am REALLY pleased to read (reek)
of such heady stuff

everything about this image is cool. the perspective, the way she looks, the idea - cool. probably a bit overblended but thats just a matter of opinion...

That's such an awesome image!
I read the description to the other one and the idea is truely a nice one...
Imagewise i prefer the black and white version much more than the colour one.
The light in here is nothing but amazing, same with the tones...
And your model is simply breathtaking!
I really like her expression here and the way you've catured it...

i like this picture too. but the fact that it's black and white gives it a completely different feeling (for me). the other one was more "pop", this one is more "classic". but they're both, in essence, very good.
