It seems a little obvious to me, but maybe I'm missing something. Light/dark, feminine/masculine, sharp/smooth. . . isn't it just a contrast study? I admit that it's well-executed. . . the symmetry of form is near-perfect and the principal lines converge nicely. However, I'm left thinking that a photograph this graphic MUST have a point. It's interesting, surely, but is it justified?

Scary kind of "saw the girl in half" image.I don't much like the content, although it's an interesting composition, everything meeting at the centre and all. However, as a carpenter I must point out that the girl(pubically shaven woman,apparently)will only lose some flesh off the inside of her legs as the saw's cutting action is heading towards her feet.

I owe John one for spotting it. I thought nobody was going to comment on the cutting direction :)

Sur le plan graphique pur cette photo est très bien faite. MAIS je n'aime pas du tout ce qu'elle véhicule de violence et, en particulier, à l'égard de la femme. Je suis désolée Dominique, mais essaie de consiérer ce point de vue. Merci.

Bonjours Marielou

 

Comme un des commentaires a bien decouvert, la roue dentee tourne dans l'autre sens, donc il n'y a pas de probleme pour la femme. Qui a notamment bien aimee de faire cette serie. On s'est bien amuses. Plus, le titre etait Irony :-)

It hurts to watch. Hope the model is ok. Good composition thou. Well done.

I think its going to take a lil bit more than aftershave to prevent razor bumps. Not whut i like to see when i think of the goodness. But original, outloud, and it definetly caught me of guard.

I was actually going to comment on the cutting direction before I read John's comment.

I'm no carpenter, but it seems to me that if we're viewing this from below, she's in a fair bit of trouble.

Still, I *was* going to sat that I'd flip the blade next time.

I aplogize for my earlier comment (which I have deleted). It is an interesting photograph, just not for me, however it is very clever. I went to your homepage and it is fantastic. Dave

It's gotten a lot of varied comments so it obviously has struck a nerve. But it's inappropriate. It doesn't matter what it's "trying" to portray...it shouldn't be portrayed, especially on a public forum.

When an arrow hits his target, you can hear the screams. As I read the comments on this photograph I can tell you for sure it was a direct hit. How is it possible? This question lies within the field of logic. I fear the answer has to be found in a sphere far beyond. Somewhere in the subconsciousness where Freudian or Lacanian analysis try to enter. Can they really enter there? This picture did.

Marvelous.

 

What a striking image. I love the concept, so much meaning behind the concept.

Metaphore perhaps but no Irony. This series is rather like having someone blow their horn at you

at 2 feet! The rest of your fotos are really nice.

 

I cannot agree with the previous post: If I understand it right you meant Irony like in Iron... I think it is a nice play of words for the series, and the viewers have to look at it like that. The pictures are good but (and this is my favourite) but I really prefer some of your other work. Regards, Alejandro
