    I like the last one because of her leggins and the tatt emerging from it.

    I really like her pics, and the more I see, the more I'm drawn in... she's got that awesome inner light that causes the viewer to feel connected.

    She needs to be a model MORE recognized, with a healthy fanbase.

    I love your light worship because of your artistic inclination.

    Thanks for sharing YOUR take on it.

    Headless Bill, you've really WOW'd me on all these. You picked a really good model too.

    OKhaos - I believe that it's a lizard skull on her necklace. I'm not certain what type of lizard, though. And Ariellah, though not a model, does have a healthy fanbase for belly dance. I was surprised to find out she was asked to be part of the 'Superstars of Bellydance' tour and turned it down. And thanks for the compliment on my watermark and photos.

    BPunk - That particular shot is one of both mine and Ariellah's favorites. And the color wasn't altered in photoshop. When we moved to that area, I forgot to change my white balance and that's how the images came out. I corrected it in Photoshop to the right white balance and it didn't have quite the same impact.

    Forrest - You are correct, sir! It is a mausoleum. Bob, tell him what he's won!

    She has an interesting face with lots of angles, and it would be just wrong to try and "flatten" them out, like an 80s fashion ad from Japan.

    As for overlighting bodies, sure, they pale them out and make the skin look flawless, but the shadows are where the sexay lives - the hollow of the hip, the gentle swell of the mons veneris (one of my favourite parts of the female body, by the way--- that slight upturn and swell is what makes that area!) the shadows of the breast and cleavage, and shadow on the legs and arms that show the curves and contours.

    Well, to be very specific, it is the mausoleum in the Mountain View Cemetery on Piedmont here in Oakland. I've heard it refered to as both the Oakland Cemetery and the Piedmont Cemetery, but it is the Mountain View Cemetery even though it is no where near Mountain View. :shrug:

    The columbarium is interesting, but not as interesting to shoot in as it is newer, not as decorative, and nothing but slabs of white marble.

    Both Ariellah and I think that is probably the best picture from the shoot even though it was a happenchance I took the shot as she was moving from one pose to another when I shot it.

    Though the first image of her makes me think I should do a silent film vamp themed shoot with her.

    Bummer work has all your pictures blocked. But Ariellah is one of my favorite dancers and yes she's very lovely and an excellent teacher too.

    Oh, I thought those were the same thing - The Piedmont cemetery is amazing. We've done so many photoshoots there (amongst other things) it's hard to count.

    And when you're all done, you can skip on over to that ice cream place or Pete's Coffee

    I esp. love the first one of Ariellah (and recommend the columbarium for the Winter Solstice experimental music performances they host)!

    Yeah, Ariellah will be out at the Oasis Dance Studio out here next month
    http://www.oasisdancestudio.net/upcoming%20events.html

    I hope to take a workshop with her again, but weekends are hard for me, try to keep them for spending time with the boyfriend~

    If anyone is out here close enough, you should go!
