Thank you very much for your kind words and support, Frank!
If it is of any comfort to you, the model, Dorrie, fully participates in and approves of every part of the image creation process. We discuss shoot ideas, and what we are each comfortable with. This is decidedly not a one-sided thing where, for example, I would dictate how I want her to pose and what to wear and she passively submits to it. The majority of the poses are hers. I encourage her to participate in the editing (ie image selection) process post-shoot. I give her veto rights over anything that she deems outside her comfort zone. I accept but don't feel bound by her shot selection suggestions as well. As the photographer and artist, final editing decisions are mine. Dorrie is very broad-minded and an artist in her own right. To give you an indication, her favourite artist is Egon Schiele. She attends life drawing classes to improve her own painting skills, and I suspect swipe posing ideas. :) But I guess I shouldn't be comforting you anyway, probably the opposite. Afflicting the comfortable? :) On Wed, Jul 29, 2015 at 10:35 PM, Knarf <[email protected]> wrote: > I struggle with these photos because I feel uncomfortable with their > sexualization and objectification of the subject. > > But I can't deny their technical and artistic brilliance. > > In the end I have to admit that it's quite beautiful, which causes more inner > conflict because the feminist-ally in me tells me I should feel shame. > > What's a lefty to do? > > Nice shot! > > Cheers, > > frank > > On 29 July, 2015 4:39:50 PM EDT, Bruce Walker <[email protected]> wrote: >>I passed by this image in my Lightroom catalogue a few times before >>suddenly noticing it today and thinking how it might look with high >>contrast in black and white.
