The WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge has the theme of Waiting.  An interesting theme, that made me think of a number of images that I shot over the years.

There are several that came to mind rather quickly, but one stuck out, as it is a rather straightforward shot that I captured during a model shoot.  While most of the work that I share on this blog is landscape or nature oriented, I have done a reasonable amount of people photography, which I have always found enjoyable.

For what might this lady be waiting?

Lady in Waiting

This shoot was all about the jewelry, but I couldn’t resist to go for a bit more atmosphere in this image.

Hope you enjoy!

  12. Great photo. Here’s an amusing response from an Octogenarian who’d peeked at this image over my shoulder … “If the corset is still unlaced she’s waiting for someone to come and do a Gone-with-the-Wind on her, and if it is already laced she better be waiting for the seamstress to fix that thing: it is WAY too loose over her breast” 🙂

    1. LMAO! Yes, she was a bit small for the corset, but that was the look that the designer wanted and I’m just a photographer 🙂

      1. 🙂 I figured it was part of the composition but thought that reaction was too much fun to not share … 😉
