One of my favorite shots of Brooke (Nude)

[charlesu]

I finally got around to editing and printing this shot recently. It was taken last fall right after Brooke had changed her hair to a richer tone. This was converted from color to mono in PS via channel mixer. It was then flattened and converted to a warm duotone. The only other work was some curves adjustment.

Hope you enjoy it. Feel free to share feedback.

Oh, now that is nice.

She is a beautiful girl anyway but sitting there as an implided nude is just wonderful. Then add on top of that your post processing, which does give a good warmth, well, the image is a winner. :)

If she is ever in the UK, send her my way Charles. My studio is about two weeks from being totally ready.

Cheers

The composition is excellent and the subtle use of soft black and white really make this photo outstanding. I love the pose of the model.

very nice shot, she is beautiful. Don't need to adjust those curves to much Charles :lol: :lol:

This is great! The composition and lighting makes for beautiful, silky B&W skin tones.

Bravo!

P.S. Brooke is an absolute stunner!

Very pretty girl, love the look shes giving.

classic pose - well lit - only complaint is her toes are a lil blown out

[eljustino]

Very good photo, I like the tones a lot. But I think the pose lacks originality. And on two counts I wish she was a black woman! 1: Because I like black women 2: because I've seen endless photos of white women. Looks like I know what my mission is now folks!

Well, you got me there. My poses are definitely not too original.

Black woman? Well, you might be surprised. Black women are sometimes known to have lighter skin and straight hair.

Very nice photo and conversion. The texture is great and your exposure is very good as well. The fact that she is a beautiful woman and her pose is very tasteful makes this a wonderful piece. Well done!

I have enjoyed all of your photos, but this one has to be your best. Very soft shadows and excellent comp. Even in b&w, her eyes come alive. Well done!

Her skin looks soft as a babys. Nice job Charles.
