..for color shots I think I prefer a more natural pose in a more natural setting (possibly with some simple prop or another (veil/column/vase/etc.)). Dramatic poses seem to require more dramatic lighting and I seem to prefer B/W's or (as you've reminded me) Monochromes for those.

A warmer colored light would bring out the deeper skin tones, I would think, and enhance the flowing lines and curvature of the body being photographed.

I've only had a few chances to actually see some of your modeling work you've posted links for (this POS computer hampers me greatly) but I've really enjoyed what I've seen. You seem to have a natural grace and an enjoyment of, and for, your art. I'm sure the martial arts training and the work-outs as well as the various style dances you do have only enhanced your modeling ability.

You have abilities (and a body) to be proud of.
