Natalia, Day 2; Under The Skylight

Think about the images on the previous page, The Guest Room. On the side of the room to the left of the camera position is a little alcove, and in that alcove is a lovely table & some interesting chairs. In the slanted wall above that alcove is a skylight. Natalia stroll over to that table for some more images, using the natural light in the room (mostly from the skylight).
That door behind Natalia leads to the stairs down to the main level of the house.

I break out the point & shoot camera. Space in this alcove is very tight, and the point & shoot camera not only has a wider angle lens, it also has a live preview pivoting & tilting LCD screen.

Right away -- I like these images. I especially like the glowing tonality. And the wide angle distortion is fun.

I'm struck by the wide variety of ambience we achieved in this collection of images. I don't know if I'm expressing myself well, but Natalia moves easily from sensual to comfortable to intimate to happy to etc.

On occasion, visitors ask what I look like. Well, this is what my left hand looks like.
To be honest, I think this might be the first time I actually touched a model, and I felt uncomfortable doing it. Natalia was comfortable, but I like to maintain personal space, especially when we are talking about a nude model. So, we don't make many exposures holding hands.

By the way, Natalia's hands were quite warm.

I like the informal feel of these images, but after this, we go back downstairs.
