First Muse Print - Limited Edition of 6

In 1993, I bought Paul Reed Smith Custom 24 and decided to photograph it. It’s not hard to see the correlation between the curvaceous shape of the guitar with that of a woman. I hired a model to pose with the guitar and this is the first image that I took. In Greek mythology there are nine goddesses (muse) that were called upon for inspiration from artists, poets, painters, musicians, etc. Each muse was responsible for a specific art form. I am a fan of Caravaggio and Rafael. I used Renaissance chiaroscuro lighting to bring out the romantic beauty of both model and guitar. This is not an inkjet print. It is traditional photographic paper using wet chemistry. The print is then covered with clear lacquer. Then it is adhered to artist canvas on a stretcher frame. Once framed no glass is required as the lacquer will protect the image.
