This set is definitely at the top of my list of favorite shoots (and the one that’s gotten me in trouble the most with Instagram censors). While I love art nudes and bodyscapes, I need there to be something more to the image so that the nudity doesn’t feel gratuitous. I chose fruit as a way to add color and to draw focus to an object other than just the model’s naked body. It’s also a bit of a nod to the classic “bowl of fruit” that you see in paintings. I also tried to add a lot of texture to the image to give it a more “painterly” feel.
