 This is one of my favorite waitresses at my favorite restaurant.

Yes, she really is this pretty. Her body... is this amazingly regal. I only nipped in her waist a bit as if she were wearing a corset for the times.

We had a fun time imagining this and shooting for it.


FYI, this is my model from my mermaid entry in Extended FS this week.

I asked her to model for this, and it didn't take even 15 minutes (I was paying her for an hour), so I asked if she wanted anything else... something I could Photoshop. She immediately came up with the mermaid idea.

We really did have a bunch of fun and she loves both images.

Handsomely done. Is this a photo or a painting, it's that good.

Excellent model and concept. I feel like the even lighting does not represent the usually over-dramatic lighting in most mannerist art.
