Dont get scared by the first part, it gets better, not THAT much better, but better.
The word MASTER has always made me smile...including all the other words that contain MASTER, like MASTERCLASS, for example. It does sound ULTIMATE, like if there is nothing else beyond that point, like GOD, like CREATOR....like CHOCOLATE.

One lesson is surely important: "Get the light close to the subject to get a more harsh effect" and at this point the lightmeter is questioning its importance in the "picture".


I do wish the model had a bra. Just for the sake of it.

My suggestion to the master is to sit up the model, because its ultimately the polite thing to do.

Another detail, the "look away" is not meant to be done that way, not to mention the orange skin in the color hi key....hhhmmmmmm...

The word "chocolate" is much better than "master".

My new web site is finally on, still missing the galleries but I am working on it.
I wanted some movement, so I decided to use Adobe Flash for the design and I have to say it has been a journey, since it was my first time using Flash. I am glad about the result and I am looking forward to have the portfolio pages up and running.

Framing a work of art can often become an excellent way to puzzle your mind. Sometimes the framing takes a second place in the creation of art, but it should't. Framing the art work is a very important and delicate creative process that should be done with the same intensity is done the work of art itself.You can find examples of framing variations at http://www.lumas.com/index.php?id=682.
