Gurnicki has obviously used a white background and used a lot of light from the right on the model and both sides on the background. A very soft focus approach has been taken. This creates a very soft edge leaving very minimal amounts of detail; basic shapes and contrast in tones are the primary methods of distinguishing the model. It seems like the model is turn a slight amount clockwise, meaning that there should be no light on the models stomach. Since as there is some light there I presume there is a white surface that residual light is reflecting off. The focus on the shapes and curves of the body takes away the sexualisation of the female form.
This image is very different to the other. The model seems very insecure and has been placed in a defencive position, like she is protecting her face and front of her body. The setting looks like a bed which adds lines leading away from the model. The curves in the bed sheets near her upper back resemble the lines made across her skin by the ribs. Gurnicki has used the light that is from the right level to the bed to hide the models head and front of the model. The spine curves from her bottom right up the the neck where it disappears in darkness; the shadows edge on her side runs parallel with her spine creating shapes and lines diagonally across the image.
