if you do a pt. 2, you HAVE to include some of Siege’s work – my absolute favorites were the ones he took of the model in a bath of milk. white on white, to say the least.

A belated reply from me! Thanks for the feature. An image that was of great inspiration to me (apart from the obvious) was this: 18 by ~NADIAwicker on deviant ART I had to resists the urge to do something very similar to that because it's just too awesome!!

I don’t know *how* I forgot Siege. How could I forget this amazing portrait of Xeni Jardin?! Was I smoking crack? Here it is: the image that made make the connection, and realize that white-on-white is totally great!

Thank you, everyone, for all the amazing images you found… I think I am going to make a “White on White” Part II post out of them, for everyone who missed these comments! Beautiful stuff.

LOVE Siege’s white/white work, particularly his ongoing series of portraits of albinism. So inspiring.

More whiteness! Though I'm especially partial to the last shot....and the fantastic beauty of the subject, herself.

Interesting post! White is even more fascinating when you realize it's often use to focus on something weird, "abnormal" or even morbid in some pictures. Other white photographs seen on deviantART: The Removal Pure Lait Light as a Feather In case the pictures and links do not work... too bad! :)

Hurrah! Olaf’s Sissi is my favorite…I nearly fainted dead away when I saw the Royal Blood series at ArtExpo years ago. mmmm-mmm!

Nice addition VonLivid! Love his work.

Another for the colllection…

The white-on-white look has become a recent infatuation of mine. When done well, it’s simultaneously intense and ethereal. The examples you’ve shown are also among my favorites.

White on white is extremely difficult to photograph indeed. I did a couple of shots with that colour scheme and both were hell… though I love the lack of colour and the fake b&w of the monochrome.

A couple of personal favourites (several of your top ten are featured in mine as well… white on white is for few, apparently!):

Alll of these are quite glorious…well, except the rhinestone one, but only because it feeds into my unnatural fear of things-in-clusters. *shudder*

I especially love the Gaelle Morand one.
