This is a 3 part picture – and I decided tell the story backwards. {grin}
Has anyone read the book – Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain? It’s all about seeing things differently so you get in touch with the actual shape and feel of what you are looking at.
That was kinda the idea behind this picture. Flipping the picture made me look at it differently and I thought I would share that

You can only view so many wonderful amazing pictures on the web before you start becoming inspired to make your own. I started doing the photography for local theater companies and learned all the skills needed to get great pictures. From there I got the equipment for a portable studio and started asking people to be my models. It's exciting, nerve wracking, frustrating and wonderful to run your own shoot!
I think even a wonderful model on a plain background makes for a boring picture so I started making my own backgrounds to go with the pictures. This led to composites where I'm cutting out the models and putting them into different scenes. This gives the picture a story, texture and history that makes it much more fun to look at. The process takes a lot more time but in the end the picture becomes art.

Michael, his tattoos gave me an idea…did you consider widening the crop and adding feathers like he is a fallen angel? It just hit me looking at the pic.

That would be neat!!!
The width of the picture is the full shot, though. If did something to the side I wouldn’t have the rest of his arms to fill in.
I usually try to get the full image of the model in case and Idea like this come up.
