There is something captivating about the nude form in motion. This image of Ariel came after we'd been shooting a series of dance images in costume. Ariel is both a talented dancer and a fine figure model so we moved to shooting nude with a bit of fabric to accentuate the flow of motion. I love the energy and the whimsy of Ariel's "pose" as it were since a pose connotes a static state and she was far from static. While there is certainly a time for the pensive nude, I find myself drawn more and more to the vitality of the nude form in motion. We live in motion and in time and I hope this image captures a bit of the joy that comes from doing so.
