Human Form - Movement

This is another image from the project i did for my Art Academy on "Human Form". It is an image from the same shoot as i did with my friend who is a professional model and dancer in Paris. Towards the end of the shoot i decided to focus on movement in the images, as the model is a dancer i thought this would be very fitting as it will show off her skills and make her profession more apparent to the viewer. The movement aslo helps to experiment with the different shapes that the body can get into and the different ways in which it can bend. In this particular image i was looking at how the body flows, you can see a definate arc in the curve of her arms, back and legs. It flows from her fingertips, right down her body and finally into the leg that is placed firmly on the floor of the studio. I used the studio at college to take this image in and chose the position of the ligthing very carefully to create shadows on the back wall, i thought these would help to create the illusion of movement and also beam the shapes and curves of her body up large on the wall.
