The C-Section :bucktooth:
-----
Nikon D80 + 50mm f1.8 + IR remote. Tutu is made. Lighting as explained in [link] (DIY - Lighting - multiple light sources; 1 bouncer and 1 spot) . Minor vignetting in post editing. Color balance as explained in [link] (How to - Do basic post editing). Darkened shadows and increased midtones to create a slightly better contrast.
-----
Hoping to do more with this style of lighting. Been meaning to do this concept for awhile. I would much prefer it done with a pregnant model though. If anyone wants to replicate the concept with a pregnant model feel free; I'd love to see the results. :heart: Or maybe I'll try this shot again in a decade or so :lol:

PS: No, these markings are not the markings for a real cesarean. This is simply a conceptual realization; not a literal representation.

I generally hate explaining concepts but a lot of people seem to be interpreting this photo way too literally. One deviant seems to have summed up the interpretation fairly well: "Sounds painful. But what do I know about childbirth; I'm a guy. LOL on the tic-tac-toe board!"

In other words: It's a lighthearted, childish spin on a painful sacrifice inspired by personal oblivion.

If you want to suggest another title, feel free. If you interpreted the concept differently, I'd love to hear what it was.

There will hopefully be another photo in this cesarean series entitled Afterglow, with scar lines instead of incision marks.

Not seeing why it should be called Caesarean...I'd say that this would be a concept fail...I know your original idea was to do it with a pregnant lady and that would be a bit better but I would suggest calling this something else.

I love this one. (:
The lighting makes it absolutely gorgeous.
I love her skirt, and the pose.
It looks kind of like she'd be leaning against a wall, but she's not. haha.

Amazing work dear. ♥
