I always love to be the first ever to shoot nudes of a model, and this is one of those rare occasions.
The circumstances were not normal, however:
Ashleigh Rae is a full-time commercial model and doesn’t shoot nudes because of her commercial modeling job where corporate clients would not hire her if nudes were floating around.

So obviously, she placed a lot of trust in my hands shooting this (and many more to come). So yes, these are implied (with booty), but there are some true gems to come.

I can feel myself gearing up for the winder with sculptural nudes, as it’s too cold for meaningful shoots outdoors in Denmark over winter. But looking at this and the image published of Belzen three days ago, I think I still have “it” when making studio work, which is reassuring.

This type of nudes initially attracted me to shooting nude women: Sculptural work with a minimalist element perfected as if it were a still life.

What do you think about this kind of work?
