- fugazi -

Same here, I like each picture for what it shows but don't seam to find the connection. I'm looking at the title and found fugazi=

"Fouled Up, Got Ambushed, Zipped In (British military slang)". Hm, I can understand the dark mood on a rainy day but I was also hoping for the author to step in and give us a hand.

It would take awhile for me to figure out other means by which to marry the paranormal right to the reality of the left. The initial 2 areas of consideration regard position and transition... not to mention PS. ;)

 

Nice work though!

These two photos differ from each other and at the same time they are tied together.The color one shows the depression of modern life but in a light mood maybe because just 1/3 of the photo is in darkness.But in the B/W photo we can see the culmination of these depressed feelings and thoughts.Here there's just self and truth without any colors.I think the b/w shot is the complimentary piece of the color photo -if one imagine it as a puzzle.As a whole I love the melancholic tone of this photo.

Love it. It has an initial wow to it, but on closer reflection it doesn't quite fit from side to side for me, but it still maintains most of that initial wow. What I see is the gal in the chair being in internal reflection with a let me out/escape shadow on the other side.

I've been studying this photograph(s) for a couple of days now not wanting to be the first to comment. It has an strange and immediate appeal to me, yet I feel perplelxed. Thanks to all of you interpreters who have made some sense to the two totally dissimilar images. The photograph is about as simple as it or they can be, yet there is one disconnected bit right in the middle that is a distraction - the lamp's wire and the wall outlet whre it is plugged in. If it were me making this shot, (and I wouldn't) I would clone away the distraction of that wire and plug.

 

This is one of the most unusual POWs I've seen and I sort of like the looks, but am not sophisticated enough to comprehend the depths of the artists intent. Interesting creation, but not exactly my "cup of tea." It wouldn't hang on my wall.

I was also thinking that the photo on the right is an expression of the model's "inner reality." But as Bill says, there is a disconnect between the two images. Some of this is the wide space between them, some of it the intervening objects that Bill mentioned. The idea of flipping the image on the right and moving it to the left, mentioned in one of the first comments, sounds like a good one. I also tried inverting (B&W negative image) the image on the right, but it didn't work out well - background too dark. I like the idea of the expression of the model's angst with the second image, but I'm wishing that the two images were not so separated from each other.

A woman trappeed inside of her own thoughts and feelings. The surrounding world is just a prison gor her. She wants to get out...but she just can't. That is what I get from this image. I think it is a very succesfull implicative composition.

First of all the green light on the lamp bothers me the most, I think it must be removed, I like the composition of both photos. The b/w photo is a very usual photo but the addition of the left photo brings new meanings to this. To me this is just like a two frame commic strip, without a happy ending. thank you for sharing this photo with us

I generally like your portfolio very much, and this is no exception - except perhaps for that brown aura arouns the woman. All else, especially lighting and colors, is great. And now I'll need some time to find out why these 2 very nice images were combined together... Intriguing...

this is a brilliant and most impressive work and certainly worth yourwhile in spending that evening in the hotel. the colours rendered are very pleasing.

The juxtaposition of these photos is highly original and gives much room for thought. I love trying to figure it out!

Like a lot of people, I like the picture on the left, the bright whiteness of the picture on the right really distracts my eyes, and I hate looking at it. And the woman, to me doesn't seem trapped, but guilty, she looks utterlly miserable and uncomfortable and that is how I feel when I see the pic. Separate them, PLEASE!

The image on the left has an air of an Edward Hopper painting.

The photo is contained from two separated frame .The right rectangle frame shows the naked woman behind the confounded glass in a very bright area. It isn?t Black and White photo but it has a miniature color spectrum.

There is a naked woman in a dark place sitting on a sofa below the light of the shade in the left square frame.

Although in a left area we have larger space with wider color spectrum but the sight of the viewer is equally divided between two frames.

In the left frame: Heavy atmosphere of the photo is unbearable. with the help of the square crop, berserker position of the woman, intensive contrast of the shadows and the optical parameters that expend the loneness and individuality of the woman (sofa and the shade) this heavy atmosphere will be shown as well as it can .In opposite of the Nude photos, inattention of the photographer to bare body of the woman, shows more prostration of her .the dazed look of her to the point light below the shade can solve the mystery that the photographer wants to say.

In the right frame: Running a woman about violating to colory and new world of the left frame is inconnivance and it shows more effective with the help of the vertical crop .she has a monotonous and shiny world that has homophony with the naked body .A world that a womanish nude body is the only characteristic that it has.

These two parallel scenario have dexterous actor who can make a connection between two independent subject without his presence .The man who withheld last rays of light from his marriage life by illumination a physically soulless connection.

So great.

 

The meaning of going and staying. She while seating on the sofa is making herself enough ready to go behind the glass. This is not two pics of two naked women, it is a scenario of the seating woman who is waiting for her destiny. The pic is captured at two differnet moments of her life. I don`t know maybe Sascha puts that woman in two destinies. Maybe . . .

 

7/7 and exactly more . . .

WOW! That is ALL I HAVE TO SAY! WOW!

Connection or not, I think it's just a matter of personal opinion. Does it work? Yeah, I believe

it does so well, that it will probably make this debate endless. Or, maybe, it goes beyond

personal opinion... I don't know. The picture as a whole, no doubt, is a very interesting one.

For me, it's thought-provoking on both its form and - if I understand all of them - possible

significations. I see the pursuit for freedom, incarceration, loneliness, doubt, fear... Things

very common to the human being. What else? I pretty much like it.

The title sort of makes the two images make more sense, though I'm never sure if a title ought to explain an image. But I imagine that it has to do with a woman F*ing up and getting trapped in an unhappy relationship. However, I thing that the right image drives the point a little too bluntly, you know?

WOW!..so great!

Yes, I think this should be call photos of the week. Both images are well done technicially, but the connection is not clear enough for me.

I actually prefer the image on the right. It is so strange that it will stick in my mind much longer than the one on the left. I am confused also about the connection between the two.

I actually love this photo... It gives me the impression of a woman trapped - in both body and mind - and who is desperately ready to break free. Yes, it's disturbing, but it's also thought-provoking and moving. Very creative, in my opinion.

Very interesting image indeed...However I do not think that the lady needed to be a super sexy nude to evoke the sense of loneliness and being trapped...the composition on the left seems a litte too staged...would have preferred a more normal shot - a woman sitting on the sofa after returning from office or a housewife watching television...

decent work...but if the elves hadn't posted it would we even be looking for more than a nano second?

This is really a great shot!
