Lines and curves

After visiting Berlin last year I was highly influenced by some of the German portrait photographers such as Helmut Newton who was able to transcend the gap between 'titilation' photography and artistic fashion photography. I have had this image in my mind for quite a few months and I have been looking for the model who is happy to get up at stupid o'clock in the morning and doesn't mind the pervy street cleaner in Edinburgh driving past our shoot location numerous times.

The image kind of hits the Weekend Blip Challenge also with the linear patterns caused by the handrails and steps offset by the beautiful curves of Sazi.
