Very sensible contribution. I enjoyed his work, Dario. But I must admit to a strong feeling of unease at his series of nude self-portraits with female models. He's walking a very thin tightrope there, arguably one (mis-)step removed from Terry Richardson.
I do now fully understand how the photographer/model relationship is based on trust and intent. If both parties agree on boundaries and establish trust, then the session will be creative and enjoyable. But even still there could be doubts in the minds of outside observers -- after all, they aren't privy to the intents or established boundaries. I think that a lot of people would accuse Mr. Minkkinen of having worked a very clever scheme to get nude models to let him touch them, very high on the list of model no-no's. Oh dear, my inner prude is showing. :-) On Wed, Nov 27, 2013 at 5:25 AM, Dario Bonazza <dario.bona...@virgilio.it> wrote: > This could be a sensible contribution to the debate. > How to shoot the naked body (male and female, especially the latter) with > great taste and creativity. > I'd say, look at nature and add your touch: > http://www.arno-rafael-minkkinen.com/man_and_woman.html > > Dario > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > PDML@pdml.net > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and > follow the directions. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
