"What is important in a dress... by fauxtography365

"What is important in a dress...

...is the woman who is wearing it."

(This isn't actually my dress. I borrowed it. Shh!)
Very tasteful shot. Artfully done :)

Sexy. Is this really a dress?!

Sexy shot!

@amandal @islandk8 @nancyw thanks, ladies! I think it kind of looks like lingerie here but it is, in fact, a dress. It would look different if I shot a different view of it. And the color is actually a navy blue.

Very nicely composed and shot. Great tones too! Just the right amount of suggestive.

Ms. T, I think this is YOUR signature style. You are great at taking partial selfies, suggesting things, tastefully half revealing and stimulating curiosity and interest.
BTW you have a great body and are beautiful!

@anzere03 thank you! I wasn't sure if I should go with these tones or straight b&w.

@mara19500 thanks for the compliments, Mara! It's been a fun and creative process to take these partial shots. Part of the reason I do them is for anonymity and the other part is because I want to make the viewer work and use their imagination. I like photos that tell some of the story and leave enough room in the mind to fill in the blanks with whatever the viewer would like to picture.

@fauxtography365 And you succeed quite well! :))

Works perfectly, has a tasteful artistic feel about it and that nice element of mystery.

Wonderful softness and POV. That bit of lace is sinsational.

Having fun pushing buttons ;)

@michaelelliott you know it ;)

First, let me say...no, on second thought, don't let me say that.

Next, I have never heard the YSL quote before but I have always subscribed to that idea.

Finally, I really appreciate and admire your ability to create shots that are provocative, thought-provoking and as @michaelelliott put it, button-pushing.

beautiful!

@timerskine @hettie thank you for your kind words!
July 30th, 2013  
Yes what everyone above has said -- really excellent work! I am really curious about the b&w version now...
