Rethinking a Classical Pose

Here is a variation on a classic studio pose. The original image was shot with black and white film on a studio set in which the model posed in front of a light gray backdrop while sitting on a reflective white panel. The virtual overlay is a second image--a digital color photograph of a bed of flowers. The model's face is somewhat obscured by the dense floral pattern, but her nude body becomes an elegant human canvas that glorifies the colorful patterns of the leaves and blossoms.
