Great images of body parts that don't quite look like body parts. Nice shadows too. These body parts almost look like terrain. Nice low lighting features.
I admire the use of your lighting to reveal all the detailed nuances, and textures in the skin of your subjects. Since the images are abstract, they are not really balanced and the contrast between the light and dark areas creates a visual tension.
However there is a balance and rhythm that is created between the two varying textures of the of the skin, while some of the surfaces are revealed as smooth, others appear highly textured by revealing the details of hair, stretch marks and other little imperfections in the skin.
With a large portion of today’s society being obsessed with perfection, and most photographers now utilizing Photoshop and other editing tools to smooth and tuck bodies into idealized perfection, it is refreshing to see all the flaws of the human body portrayed so honestly in your images.
