Kohimarama bather

Inspired by Lisette Models Coney Island Bather http://artsy.net/artwork/lisette-model-coney-island-bather-new-york, girl was patient and posed while lady art directed. Been wanting to do this shot for a while.

very cool, just checked out the original and you captured it's essence for sure.

@semjaja Thanks Sem - girl was a good sport.

lets hope the alter ego is not in girl's future lol, this is a lovely shot of her

[Angela Tavan]

Well done! and frankly I much prefer this to the original! Had girl seen a picture of the original? You are fortunate to have such a cooperative model!

[Spanner]

@kali66 Ha ha - I too hope that the original is not what in store for her.

@angelat Thanks Angela - yes I had my book with me for her to see. Lady helped make the fine adjustments while I snapped away. I am lucky, however as a treat she got to go paddle-boarding so it paid off for her.

[Angela Tavan]

@spanner - a bit of bribery goes a long way! Even so, I think she is very cooperative, many young people would not be these days!

Love this. She's a good sport, it's a great version of the original. Fav

Lovely focus and blur. I'm not sure she looks entirely like the original model though ;-)

[Spanner]
