I like your idea very much. The small shell and the warm light creates a very intimate and sensual feeling to the series, as does of course the concept of traveling along with the soft shell :-)

Hi Verena!
In fact this final shot is different, from my point of view it openly shows the fiction in this series. The metaphor of the body as a landscape here is revealed by the white towel that shows it "is" a beautiful human body and leaves less to imagination. Anyway the series is excellent and especially the idea behind it. I appreciated it a lot. See you

Where does one start... over the days' past I have flipped back and forth...
Mr de Wolf has been quite expletive or rather generous... many ways correct...
This last one is somewhat... not spoiled but the elastic stitching etc really does distract...
The whole concept of the serie has everthing about a still life... with not even the ambient breath of the photographer touching the ever so delicate hairs...
If this was Italy... can not wait for Finland in September
A pleasure... four times over!
There is superb capability, and lots of
i.e.MSP

Dear Hugo,
thanks so much for all the time you spend thinking and reflecting about this serie and all my other work, it is so excellent result reading your opinion about my work.
You hopefully know how important your feedback is to me, how about some beers together in Düsseldorf in October?
I agree in some parts with your criticism about this last one, e.g. the dust, break in tension and sensuality, but emotionally this was the best (and only available ;)) end.
It was not planned like a great serie, only some experiment with skin, sun and shell. But next time in the same situation I will do more, perhaps Vivien is willing to act again as a model.
Lets stay close!
Your good friend
Verena

Hi Verena, I'm not so sure about this one, it has two things, that I feel a bit ambiguous about.
First, and probably most important is the heavy shadow line, which places one of the two main elements of this series in a less prominent / pronounced position (yeah, I'm talking about the shell)
Secondly, I think the pants and background are are a bit out of balance, not only within this individual shot, but also within the series. Furthermore, the dust specs on the stretch fabric, as well as the creases in it do not quite fit, IMO. On the other hand, I can see why it's your personal favourite, as it offers more to the eye. I cannot look at this shot without the reference to the three previous ones...
About the series as a whole (now it's finished,I feel I need to comment on that too) I think I'd just keep it to DOF, skin and shell, but I'd kept it out of the "nude female section" too. This one stands out in comparison with the previous ones. Not only because of the less intriguing "skin curves", but also because the new, foreign object (the pants) I think the second one (Thorax) is my personal favourite, as it's the biggest tease of them all.
I find the idea simply outstanding. Very creative work, with simple means. (not referring, of cource, to Vivien...) I also think you did a very good job with each individual shot. As a series, I think the mounting tension is a bit nullified by the last one, which I think should've been the "Pièce de Résistance", but is not quite up to the shot, mainly because of the break in the tension and sensuality.
Cheers,
Hugo

Hi verena,
schon beim thumbnail dachte: uih, das ist jetzt aber "harter stoff" ;-) anregung in der richtung hast du ja genug bekommen.
ich persönlich mag den schatten sehr. er teilt nicht nur das bild, sondern sorgt auch noch mal für einen schönen hintergrundkontrast für die muschel. die unschärfe finde ich auch sehr passend.
insgesamt ein schöner abschluss der serie. klasse idee.
lg,
thilo

krönender abschluss der serie wie ich finde, obwohl das mit dem seidentuch wirklich eine gute idee wäre. nun ja, anregung genug für weitere ähnlich gelungene bilder und serien. gut finde ich hier die position der muschel im schatten, gibt der ganzen serie doch eine bemerkenswerte abschluss-note....
vg, uwe

I'm relieved, it's nicer in the sun and it's almost there.
Gorgeous day.
Great tan, Vivien.

Hallo Andreas,
interessanter Einwurf, daran habe ich nicht gedacht, wahrscheinlich hatten wir sogar ein fließendes Tuch dabei, leider habe ich in dem Moment am Strand weder Dich bzw. Deine Idee dabei gehabt ;)
Liebe Grüße
Verena

Hi Verena,
ein Ende, das eventuell viel anders erwartet haben. Ich habe Deine kleine Serie verfolgt und finde sie ausgesprochen interessant und gut fotografiert.
Hier in diesem Bild jedoch stört mich der Stoff. Nicht, weil ich nackte Haut sehen will, sondern die Art wie dieser Stoff relativ hart den weichen (organischen) Verlauf des Körpers (letztlich auch der Muschel) zerstört. Das gleiche Bild - mit einem fliessenden Seidentuch o.ä. - genial.
So bleibt 'nur' ein hervorragend :-)
Gruß
Andreas

Hi Walt,
I was there in July, but I will be back again later this year, close to Siena, over a weekend. Lets try to meet then. How does that sound to you?
Cheers,
