I worked with both of these ladies together and separately a few years ago, definitely top talent. Both have moved to the Left Coast.

Now, that's what I call "putting someone on a pedestal." 
Don't know if you could have done it any other way, but I think the result is just perfect--makes the skin of the one on the pedestal look like marble, perhaps due to a brighter/harsher light (?). Anyway, great photo, I'll keep this in mind for the next folio.

I think it is a combination of things - the b/w, the stylistic pose, but the models feel "silver" or metalic to me - not that this is a bad thing, just a flavor that struck as I was looking at the image.

I don't know why it is but for some reason my eye also interprets certain black and white exposures as looking a bit metallic. It's an effect I really try hard to get.

I suppose that's one way to keep her from falling off of there...

I truly enjoy your images. This is no exception.
I especially like the way your shots show seriousness with a little playfulness. It leads me to believe that you enjoy your work and actually immerse yourself in it, like I do.
I noticed that much of your backdrop work involves paper. Is this due to the cost factor of fabric or do you prefer the texture of paper to fabric. I am not trying to offend you. I am just looking for some insight.
Thank you for sharing your visions with us.

I am actually using a painted cyclorama sweep made of plywood. I just love the neutral grey background I can get with a paper sweep - but the darned paper sheets are $$$$ive!! ($45 a roll plus $35 shipping!) so I finally just made a built-in sweep and I periodically roller paint it with flat paint ($25 gal paint gives me four treatments)
I've got a few dozen muslins of various sorts back in my studio and I never use 'em.

That's a good idea. I'll have to try that. I would definately be more cost effective.
Many people tend to believe that photography is a "cheap" business to get into and maintain. However, most of those people are the ones that complain about a $4 4x6 print.
