You caught me right in the middle of creating version 2 of the Low-key Bodyscapes book. Why is this topic so fascinating? Because when posing for bodyscapes, the model navigates between two extreme poles. On the one hand she is not only nude but even gets into very revealing poses. On the other hand she stays anonymous because her face is not in the frame. The E-Book version of the book, which I will always keep updated, is here: http://goodlightmag.com/low-key-bodyscapes
