Back Study

This week I offer a study in back musculature. The model is Bruce. The photograph was taken several years ago.

As can be seen, Bruce was in fantastic shape when this was shot, with very low body fat and thin skin.

The composition of the photograph might be a little unusual in that the model is facing away from the camera, but as Bruce pulls and pushes on the railing with his arms, the muscles of his back come into amazing relief.

The image was shot on black and white film, scanned from film and then toned with a slightly warm cast in Photoshop.
