Some thin black wet material draped over a beauty.
A lot of messing around with lighting here, got several usable shots but this was my favourite. It was actually one of the test shots, which we later reproduced, but this version had the most impact.
Worked nicely in colour, but the sepia definitely had the edge.

some one claimed this photo and said it was hers and had people edit it for her and now any one that edited the photo not knowing it wasnt hers is being harassed for it. what are you going to do if your photo became well recognized?
The lighting is excellent. I like the contrast between the lightness of her skin and the darkness of the material. The highlights on the material create interest also.
Great idea and excellent lighting. I find the highlights on the crumpled material a bit distracting, maybe a smoother material would've worked better. But the concept is so good, I think you should reshoot anyway and play with pose variations.
I like it and the lighting is fantastic. The wrinkly silk does draw a line right up to the left nipple and create a crinkly paper effect, and that is commendable. What is a suggestion is that the model has such a wonderfully classic figure that I would not obscure the greek pose.
I like the idea, but the reflection and texture on the black veil doesn't work for me. I think if it had been ironed first it would work better. Just my thought since I don't know exactly what you were envisioning.
Great lighting here - really like the spot behind her - giving her a defined edge.
The tones and colors are ideal, and almost a grainy feel which i like a lot.
My only dislike is the way in which the fabric has been placed - I like the textures that come with it, but in the middle it's so creased up it looks like tissue paper which gives at an amature feel to an otherwise professional looking shot.
More careful positioning would aid this image. Maybe nice to have it covering her whole body as it does give off great textures and tones.
