"The richness of colour and softness of form combine to conjure up long-gone days of the Old Masters. One in a series of four visually beautiful photographs painted with light." Odalisque 4 - The invitation by *Idrils

Odalisque 4 - The invitation

Description

Final call for what is likely to be the best series of my gallery (ever?)

Inspired by a statue in a museum in my hometown * [link] * , made for an exposition of the photography club of my college on the theme "nude and erotism".

Model : your host
Redness : some fabric I use for covering a pouffe usually
Some troubles in the making : my cat who kept jumping on my knees

Possible controversy on the making : some will find the borders quite too big but I liked it
It sets an atmosphere, a cocoon of darkness which makes the colours and light shine even brighter.
And it closes like the shadows of a dim litted room.. or like the borders of a key hole... :)


My favourite of the four. But maybe not yours ^^
I decreased the luminosity just before posting. A flick of my mind. Tell me what you think about it.
