Finally with willing and apt models I am able to start photographing the human form in the way I have envisaged for years…
Despite having seen countless pictures similar to what I would like to capture it is, as said by most photographers a very hard task. Out of the 40 odd pictures only 2 are presentable. Hopefully things will get to the point where more of the pictures / poses / compositions are display quality.
I am still struggling for exact words to describe this theme but I am pretty clear that this will not have conventional nudity, it will always be implied 
All the words descriptions seem a bit hollow or too crass. I am sticking with Bodyscapes for the time being.
Most of them photographs
