Intimate Beginnings

[Jessica R]

I always enjoyed taking my photos and digitally manipulating them until they have taken on a dreamy sort of balance between reality and fantasy... I was unsure about posting them here.. In my minds eye I think I have a created a type of photo that is interesting and erotic... I hope that I have created something unique and different...

Interesting work.
I prefer to do my editing in camera and darkroom, but can appreciate digital editing as well. Of cause in the darkroom there is no back button.
We live in a sea of sameness, always good to hold your breath and go deep into the unknown.

Thank you for your thoughts... your comments brought me back to the days of film developing when you would drop off your roll of film of those cherished wedding pix that you took to your local drug store and return all excited to pick your prints and bring them home to relive your memories of that special day and to find that they did not turn out and were ruined... for what ever reason... I say hurray for Digital...

Life's full of disappointments and wonderful surprises. I like flaws. its what makes us human, only your god/goddess can be perfect....and in most religions they aren't perfect.

But please post some more pictures

I prefer digital work, but I do respect your way of thinking... we can all share in the many formats... I hope to have another of my creations to share soon... thanks...

Yes, very nice

Because I already spend too much time at my computers, I avoid digital manipulation, but your experiments show great potential for interesting dramatic themes. Keep at it!

I could not edit my above post to add my thoughts about the definition of "Rubenesque" .I think I fall under that category and don't mind using myself as the subject of my photos...

The definition of Rubenesque is a woman who is full-figured, curvy and shapely.....
Of, characteristic of, or like the art of Rubens; colorful, sensual, opulent, etc.
Full and shapely; voluptuous

Some may not agree, but that is ok...

Beauty in photographs can be independent of beauty in models. Ruth Bernhard created some of the best examples of such beauty in photographs that an artist might never notice how traditionally beautiful the model was. Your photography is more about the creative process than about the model. In the last photo it also suggests what Gauguin might have done if he had been a photographer.

thank you for your thoughts... I appreciate your honesty... and thoughtfulness...

I find your use of color interesting. Far too many photos are simply photos that happen to be in color. In yours, the color is an important element.

Here is a interesting interpretation of one of my photos.... I like how it came out... what do you think...

 

[Jim Jones]

This is much more striking than a somewhat similar manipulated photo I saw several years ago.
