Nudes using one light


These photos were taken in a blacked out studio with one light. I converted the files to B&W to show the shadows and highlights better. No AI was used to tweak the photos.

Many of my friends are involved in circus arts. Most them fly, but my little studio cannot accommodate that, so I have to work with floor exercises.
Thanks for taking a look! JohnC
Models that do nudes have become quite unaffordable for me, and I don't have any friends willing to pose. So, I rarely shoot nudes. Most of the time, I do it when I travel, so a hotel room doubles as a studio. This one came from a hotel room shoot in Las Vegas.
There were several different wall surfaces in the room, and I used them as a "studio backdrop" for a few images.
This was a memorable shoot. First, the model unexpectedly arrived with her sister in tow, which was a red flag for miscommunication. But it turned out to be a non-issue. We had an agreement on not shooting spreads. Ten minutes into the shoot, the model wanted to do a handstand on a very narrow window base. She needed help and asked me to hold her leg until she got into position. It required touching the model…
These nude photos are exceptional. Perhaps you can visit an art college or drawing classes to find students willing to model?

Thank you. I will take that into consideration as I work on new projects.
