Bath time

I've been a bit busy the last few days and haven't been able to take any photos. I'd hoped to take some today, but getting to tonight I still hadn't taken any shots. But that changed within 5 mins of me arriving home after work, and I discovered a naked woman in the bath - okay, I shouldn't be coy about it, it was Sheens ;) Surprisingly, she was up for me taking some portraits of her in the bath - she just looked amazing - and we agreed from the start that obviously no 'nudes' would be posted and the only shot I would post would be one of her legs submerged in the water and would have her complete approval.

I've been going through a bit of change recently as I want to take photos that I want to take - not ones that are conceived to win in a club or specifically do well in competitions. I want to develop my own style further and try to convey more mood and emotion in my shots. Tonight was a complete departure from what I usually take, in subject and in style, and in the end (well the session only lasted 5 minutes) what was brilliant was that I loved them and more importantly so did Sheens. I think she was pleasantly surprised how good they looked, and how she looked ;) There is one photo however, that no one will ever see, but I have to say it's the best shot I've ever taken. It perfectly conveyed the serentity and peace Sheens has when having a bath. Beautiful.

But I won't post it, and will post another one instead that I also love.

I don't think I'm going to be in a habit of shooting nudes, far far from it, but the feel and tone of these shots are new to me, and signify the start of some serious experimentation.
