Patricia,

Those are interesting points about how pose 4 and 5 show a different emotional relationship with the instrument.

Most times I will have about an 80% complete idea of what I want to accomplish and then I just try and feed off of what I'm getting back from the subject to complete the vision. If you have a good chemistry with the subject their input, body language, can be a very big part of the process. I try and encourage the subject to move, within the small confines that I have set up, and then just say hold on ... lets put your head back in that position and try that.

Lynn,

I like it when I can get people dissenting about which one of my poses is their favorite. I too feel a strong pull to number four. Numbers 4 and 5 were both natural light only. The others were only possible with help from over head lighting and have a different feel. We began shooting about 9:00 am and I didn't have a whole lot of ambient light in the house.

Scott,

Thanks for the input, I will study your comments as I work towards a final image. And, I look forward to seeing your next fiddle project. With what we have so far we're on our way to a stringed section. I'd like to have a portfolio like that, "here are my strings, and of course the obligatory woodwinds."
