One extreme to the other.(posted 8804 days ago)What was that editorial point? Please make it more plainly so I can get to it... How does this image enlighten me, or anyone? As clinical data? Nothing new there... Is this done with any sense of photographic grace? Nope... Composed well? Nope... Politically astute? Needs some context, man... With any hint of admiration? It's a funny way to show it... Does it illustrate the transformation and amplification of women's spiritual and psychic power during the period of transformation? No...
It is pointless at best, and completely artless. Is this part of your series that you abandoned when you tired of the "artlessness"? When you realized it never would sell? (your words) You cut the head off a bloody body, the light is dead on frontal, completely forensic in application, as if in a medical examiner's office.
Further, you describe women who are not "traditionally" beautiful as "average" and in your website describe your photographs of them as artless. Well isn't that your personal problem? Why don't you try making "beautiful" pictures of "average" women instead of brutalising them with this kind of photographic sensibility. Why do you save beautiful lighting and compositional techniques for "traditionally" beautiful women. I submit it is you that needs to inspect your definition of "beautiful" when it comes to "average" women. You have no idea, your capacity for denial is colossal, the bitterness is overwhelming... t
