It has the power and elegance of a Bill Brandt/Edward Weston portrait.(Without copying either.)The shapes of her hands, arms and shoulders are sculptural. They act as stage for her face, her eyes and her gaze.Defiant and yet sensual and vulnerable. A subtle, evocative image.

Un cadrage inspiré ..
Un modèle qui te connaît bien je pense,.qui n'est pas seulement déshabillée et sans fard, mais bel et bien nue, sans masque ou si peu..(presque pas de secrets entre vous.. quoique..oui bon ..mais vous avez tant partagé, c'est clair, n'est-ce pas? :))
Un air désinvolte, une nonchalance fragile, une jeune femme toute menue au regard vif et scrutateur -- qui me rappelle les romans de Sagan --, une volonté de se montrer forte, bien que les belles mains gracieuses, soignées, trahissent un désir contenu de se réfugier oh juste un brin derrière elles ..
Une jeune femme dont on a envie d'entendre la voix.. et de voir sourire ..

...and the intelligence in her eyes, so different from the blank, passive gaze of most models.

But Steve..None of Christel 's models belongs to the latter!

I had a try with a group , once... but it is so different ! those models are not natural, and even can't be natural, I do prefer my experimental way for sure !

une très jolie "réponse" qui convient bien à ce mélange de force et de fragilité qui se trouve en D.
