A Modern Day Venus

Here is an example based on the theme of the Greek goddess Aphrodite, also known as Venus. In this image, the model has struck a pose that is very reminiscent of Botticelli's "Birth of Venus". The overlay image is a photograph of the terrain of the planet Venus taken by the Magellan space probe several years ago--a fitting way to "clothe" a nude model who possesses all of the physical qualities of Venus, the goddess who represented beauty in ancient mythology.

I am grateful to Kim ("vampyriccadencestock") for sharing the image used to create this human canvas. Kim is a photographer, model, actor, and musician, and she brings a natural and graceful beauty to her poses. Be sure to check out Kim's stock gallery to view her great portfolio:
