Reclining


I've had this one since 2015, and I still don't know who the photographer was.
As has increasingly been the case lately, Google Images search was no help.
Lots of copies of it showed up, but no attribution.

  1. The pose looks almost as agonizing as that hanging pose.

    1. Agreed, since he's not fully reclined. I wouldn't mind straightening him out...

    2. Actually not too bad. The main issue with this type is, on a flat surface, not having any lower back support. The raised left hip implies an unseen rolled towel or pillow providing support. This pose always gives a good lift to the rib cage and therefore upper torso detail. And, rather neatly, as I have found, reduces that tummy. Sometimes even giving a concave look.

    3. Thanks to you, David, I have come to understand some of the anatomical elements of life modeling. Fascinating!
