“Exploring the Human Landscape”
“EMBRACE”
The light that flows openly over…
It accentuates the beauty
Highlights ones’ curves and
Exposes the deep dark crevasses of the soul.
Follow the light…
For it will yield the human form
Bring out a voyeuristic curiosity
Make the luminescence a vulnerable path to our inner vision.
Create a brilliance on the imperfect form…
Let the lens reveal
Let It expose a unique vision
This cold mechanical device has now bonded with the radiance of the
‘Human Landscape’ .
McP
These images were created after shooting the ‘Human Form’ on 3 separate occasions. I guess… “third times a charm”, as the light, models and location proved to be the difference. I would like to thank Frank Veronsky for providing the venue and guidance and to Noah and Jackie for being my canvases for the day.

Wow. Beautiful, sensual images of the human form. I like the artistic poses of the models. My favs. Embrace, Humanform1-2, 1-4, 1-9 & 1-11. The light….fantastic. I’m just beginning to learn that it’s about capturing the right light and the correct compositional elements which often are attributing factors to an aesthetically successful photograph. Your images certainly display these qualities. Thanks for showing us newbie’s how it’s done.
P.S. Superbly written description. Let’s add poet to the list of talents.

Hey Gary… glad to give you that push. My first 2 tries over 3 years with diff photogs did not come out the way I had envisioned it. Almost gave up on it… really happy to give it one more try… never know.

Mike these are beautiful and thanks for mentioning me. Always nice having you here. We are going to do this class again sometime and we always need images to promote in the e-blasts. Would you be willing to let us use one or two of these with credit to you of course? Thanks again. Frank
