Description
Shot from the March 30 workshop. Wanted this to look like a very grungy basketball scene. Very important when setting up a shot that the model's mood suits the environment being developed. Also when photographing an outdoors scene I favour throwing the background out of focas as I feel this adds to the soul of an image for some reason. Also when instructing at these workshops I place great passion into making sure the model looks aesthetically her best. Hence in this shot Natalie has good posture and is creating more curve by throwing her hip out and back. Added to this her concentration is very fixed and authentic in the direction she is looking. All too often model's look one way but have their minds coming back to the photographer's position. This greatly lessens the impact of the photo.www.leapoffaith.com.au
*next Melbourne workshop will be Sunday April 28 from 12-4pm. Please email with any questions*

This is such a wonderful shot and so well modelled. The models whole posture sends a powerful message. Forget the shoelaces, forget the holes in the pants, This is just a fantastic photograph.

I can't see how this pic is offensive. I would have chose to have her shoes tied...but all in all a great picture.

great shot and as you say the POV is on the model, there are a few photographers on this site that kill shots because of to much information around the main subject

I must pass a hundred pix each time I review my watches on DA, lots of beautiful women, but they are all doing the same boring pose. Thank you something different and interesting.

Something about this picture reminds me of the female lead of Step up 2

I love the two-toned concept here. Great idea, and the pose is well balanced! ^^

My, what a charmer you are. Go troll elsewhere for your fapping fantasies.

no, i gotta agree with them on this one. What they stated is true. If you don't believe it than I implore you to let any of your young female family members or friends walk around a real ghetto wearing only what she is wearing...

Contrary to your racist POV, inner cities are not comprised of rape gangs.
IMHO, grown women can wear what they want.

mhm hmm, yep. So send a girl who's close to you on over to one (with her v-lines showing and her nips pointing out) and let me know how it went...

Have. Nothing.
Anything else, sport, or are you gonna continue to have dribble down your legs at the thought of Dark Skinned Subhuman Rape Gangs rampaging around?

So first of all I'm confused as to how this become an issue of race? I don't recall having mentioned any specific race, you ass. You really shouldn't try to discredit someones point of view by throwing down the race card simply because you can't think of your own counter argument. P.S. I'm black.

ummm....what? I'm stating a fact. Why is it that with you people everything anyone says is trolling if you don't like it?
P.S. the whole trolling thing, calling people trolls, saying people are trolling this trolling that...its really juvenile and pathetically attention seeking. What do you follow every single fad and trend that comes out of these little hipster/scene kids mouths?

You're not a troll for saying unpopular things. You're a troll for coming to a serious artist's page with no other purpose than to be an immature asshole ... something that, given your touchiness over the term (and the post on your page whining about people blocking you), it sounds like you do a good bit.
(By the bye, while I understand you're busy trolling devART for fapping material, learn some Internet history. The term "trolling" has been in use for a couple decades now, and it's no "fad.")

I like the two-tone nature of the pavement and how she is straddling it. Like she is dealing with two sides of herself. The wide stance really grounds the image, giving her a sense of strength. I totally agree with your comments on the importance of the model's visual focus.

Pretty bad ass! This picture is just perfect in every way!

Absolutely fantastic shot! The model and her pose. The depth of field.
And I have to say, now this is a ghetto I wouldn't mind living in...

Impossible to play on the opposing team... How could you ever focus on the game?

I like very much this one but since you put such an accent on scene and model setup, allow me to make a small comment: shoelace. You definitely cannot play with your shoes untied. This small detail blows the whole cover and reveals the fact that this is just a shooting scene.

depending on your skill set and level of cockiness/arrogance, it's not that difficult to play w/ unlaced shoes. it's actually not that uncommon. however, i do see the point that you're making.

the pants would actually be more problematic
