The Gold Couch - Gymnastique
For this final set of the day, I had envisioned some simple reclining bodyscapes, featuring Merrique's beautiful dark skin against the studio's elegant gold brocade couch.
I knew that the tones would compliment each other effectively, and the structure of the couch would create some additional dimensional and compositional elements to add complexity and depth to the images.
All of this and more proved true, as Merrique invented a series of beautifully bizarre and contorted acrobatic poses that took the concept to a level well beyond my imaginings. There really is nothing quite like what a spectacular model brings to the set, and Merrique is one of the very best.
Thanks are owed to Bryan Frank for the use of the red fabric seen in the background of this set of images!
