Sienna Hayes - Implied Nudes

[Manfred M]

These images were taken last August and this was the first time I had worked with a nude model, so are my first examples of doing both implied nude and nude shots.

We were photographing at a local farm, so the images were taken outdoors with a combination of natural light and fill light using a studio light that was powered by a battery pack. I used an Einstein 640 with a Vagabond mini battery pack. I used a 50" Paul C Buff Octabox with two baffles throughout the shoot.

The model is Sienna Hayes, and was her last shoot in the area, as she was moving to the San Francisco area, in California. I did learn a lot during this shoot and hope to line up another model to shoot at this or a similar location this coming summer. While the model used insect repellent, the local mosquitoes found here to be quite tasty and I had to retouch out a number of mosquito bites. I probably missed a few.

With this shot, I have pretty well exhausted my supply of implied nudes and will have to get into posting shots that are not "Facebook safe".

Nice series.

Very nie. I like @1 the best but her fingertips protruding from her back (image right) bother me a bit) I tend to fixate on them...

My pick is #2, despite the hard shadow on the torso. While I realize these are all posed shots, 1 and 3 have a less natural feel and 3 actually looks awkward. You did a great job managing the shadows and the technical issues. There is detail everywhere.

No 1 for mine. I agree with Richard (Hawkeye). Those fingers!
