Photo of a sand and mud covered nude in water of a creek in the Kwade Hoek Goeree Overflakkee.
Due to the reflection in the water, the nude seems to have 8 "legs". It can be clearly seen that the model is naked, but the nudity is implicit, there are no breasts or sexual characteristics to be seen.
The photo radiates cheerfulness, the fun is bursting from it. The pose and expression of the model emphasize the mood of the photo.
The photo arose spontaneously, the intention was to abstract the nude by smearing it with sand and mud. While posing, the idea arose to take a light-hearted photo. The sand and mud alienate the image.
The intention of the photo is that the cheerfulness spills over onto the viewer. It should at least put a smile on the viewer's face. The photo can be used anywhere, preferably in a light, bright environment and can be hung very large on the wall.
I deliberately chose a black and white approach, because that increases the power of the photo. The photo is originally in color, the colors have been converted to black and white in Photoshop.
If you like nature, in combination with a nude figure, this is a picture for you.
My specialty is photographing nudes in nature, where I mainly use black and white to make the look more powerful. I prefer to work in recognizable Dutch nature, so that the viewer/enthusiast can identify with the photo.
