 A Model(Vicky Venomous)who i had wanted to work with for ages finally messaged me that she got her hands on two Woma Pythons
altho they werent huge about 3ft long they sure took a liking to her.

with the help of a wonderful makeup artist we were able to create this cleopatra inspired theme shoot.

i shot this using the nifty 50 what a great lens
two canon speedlights using a softbox and a shoothru umbrella

post work
just some skin smoothing
sharpening the whites of vickys eyes and a small amount of the snakes body sharpening.
added borders a white then a fine black around the white

You have a very dramatic scene here with pretty boring light. her face is fine, with some nice modeling, but the brightness and hard shadows on her hip pull the eye off the frame, and whatever that is in the background isnt helping. With moody mysterious light to match the subject this would have been very nice.
