The Gravitational Field

I honestly can't critique the photography as I'm totally devoid of the technical knowledge of the art, but I can say that this is a wonderful composition. The flow of the work as well as the contrasting colors and the dramatic lighting all work well together.

What I CAN critique, however, is the attractiveness, poise and professionalism of the most beautiful model in all of Australia, my friend Meluxine. Her talents are so far above the usual modeled photos we see here at dA that it should be immediately evident even to the untrained eye. There are no awkward poses, no shy reservations and absolutely no fakery in Mel's work; she embraces the camera lens as a painter would his palette. Her professionalism and poise are perfectly exemplified here as she obviously felt the pull of gravity in this shot, but maintained a grace that could easily have us believing that Mastertouch (a great talent himself) does have an anti-gravity simulator in his garage.

It's said that the best artists make their work look easy, and this couldn't be more true of Meluxine. Posing at a 45° slant in hot clothing, under (and over) hot lights seems almost fun, but only because Meluxine is a true artist. Having watched her for some time now, I can attest that Mel's talent and beauty is only surpassed by her sharp wit.
