I have shot Claryssa quite a number of times over the years and we have created some of my fave images and in fact, she is also the girl in my B/W banner.
Claryssa is a +size model who has worked all over the world and quite extensively all over Europe.
I love shooting around water so I suggested that we do a pool shoot in my studio.
We started shooting the usual pretty swimwear image that one typically does in a pool and they were all looking great until I suggested to Claryssa to do a bit of splashing and then the shoot took a complete turn.
Claryssa started gyrating, throwing her hair around and splashing the water. The whole look took on a life of it's own. We ended up with so many dynamic shots and the typical swimwear shoot took on a much darker tone.
This was shot using 2 lights. One front left and one highlight rear left.
Very cool!!!
Thanks Jon

I've seen this displayed on the FS website for quite some time and it is definitely an eye catcher. Great photo. I have only two minor criticisms... one is your signature stamp (I'm generally not fond of in anyone's photos) which I think is intrusive where you placed it. Perhaps lower left or right would have been better. I know we are all trying to protect our photos from theft. The other criticism is that her splayed hand does not look feminine but rather "frog-ish" or salamander-like. Otherwise I like your non-posed pose (she did well), lighting, and color blast.
Dynamic image. Great capture!
