Jonathan Thorpe
is a photographer in the Washington, D.C. area. His friend, Heather
Byrd, is a model. She has leukemia. But that hasn't stopped her
professional life. Thorpe wanted to work with her to show "beauty
through a troubling time." So he created a carefully-staged shot of her
in a hospital scene modeled after Sandro Botticelli's famous painting "The Birth of Venus" (above).
I
think that photograph is completely safe for work. It's non-erotic,
like Botticelli's original. But on the off chance that you work in a
profoundly conservative workplace, I decided to provide just a link. Go here to view the magnificent photo and Thorpe's description of how he shot it.
