Golden hour nudes on the west coast of Cyprus (Patreon)

This was one of my most memorable shoots of 2021. My original idea was to do this at Aphrodite’s Rock, which is a spectacular location but the place was so crowded although it was 5 November. The day before Tanya and I managed to do a nude shoot, by heading to the opposite directions of the crowds but today there were bus loads of tourists descending on the Rock. So we headed just a couple of kilometres west and lo and behold, there was a deserted pebble beach that we could use. Mind you we were interrupted once by a passer by but he didn‘t hang around for long, fortunately.

For this shoot, we started about an hour before sunset but the light became amazing only just before sunset.  I used my Canon EOS 800D with Canon 50mm f1.8 lens. To get deeper skin colours I underexposed by 2/3 of a stop.

Last but not least there images were professionally retouched by Russian Cypriot retouched Alexander Fess, who now lives in St Petersburg.  

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!  Secretly I’m hoping they will win me some awards.
