As you can see from the dates on these examples, this series has occupied me almost from the time I began working with the human figure.  In fact, as of this writing (April, 2007), I'm working on more of them.  I'm intrigued by the way the flashlight beams abstract the body, transforming relationships among the various features.  And of course, it all becomes overwhelmingly sculptural, which is something I look for in figure photography.
