big james 0 Posted July 30, 2002 Emil, I would be intrested in knowing how you get this soft effect but striking at the same time. Love all of your work and am going to try some of the light painting techniques in some still life shots. Link to comment
detlef 6 Posted July 31, 2002 hidden sexuality presented fabulously...as with so many of your images sexuality and the spirit seem to go hand in hand...toning of your images as well as your lighting technique is outstanding...bravo! Link to comment
adelio da 0 Posted August 2, 2002 sensual, erotic, not even a bit pornographic. Thanks for sharing ! Link to comment
janelle_siegel 0 Posted August 4, 2002 there's nothing pornographic about this? but it is, and what's wrong with that? what is wrong with being aroused and uplifted at the same time? why must we "serious" artists eschew sexuality and approach the nude as something platonic and separated from the innate and powerful sex urge within us all? this photograph is not one or the other, so please no dichotomies. what is going on in the subjects mind is not the detached contemplation of the rules for composing a "tasteful" nude photograph, but many wonderful, beautiful, lustful thoughts. this is why mr. schildt titled it "love for one." it's about a woman's deepest, most secret burning passion for giving herself sexual pleasure. there's nothing wrong about masturbation, so why put it in some puritanical straightjacket of "fine-arts" nudes? it is to mr. schildt's eternal credit that this photograph both inspires _and_ arouses me!

trevor_simpson 0 Posted August 28, 2002 The very fact that the comment above yours Janelle mentioning pornography, makes it so, even in a 'tasteful' way. The very essence of that woman wrapped in her own desire and feelings, heightens the sensual pleasure of us 'voyeurs' looking on at an intimate moment. I totally agree with you Janelle and surely the title must have given the 'theme' away with this exquisite shot. I LOVE IT.... Link to comment
andrew coulthard 0 Posted September 5, 2002 I agree, but would we feel the same about a man masturbating in front of the camera? Is this arousal and eroticism solely associated with the abandoned, distant female form or can the male nude be erotic and explicit, wresting such plaudits? However, Emil is probably one of the few photographic artists that could capture such an image. I too love the shot and marvel at his mastery of this art; it is voyeuristic, more so when considering the technique and how she must have felt with fleeting glimpses of light and movement in all the surrounding darkness.

kevin_ohagan 0 Posted September 7, 2002 I don't like the light... and the tone. Too romantic. Sex aint pretty. Masturbation like chocolate and flowers. Link to comment

richard_todd1 0 Posted November 1, 2006 And I agree with those who say that this is a potentially arousing image and that there is nothing wrong with that. To the contrary! Link to comment
