Kaua speaks his mind

"Strange" graffiti..."strange" position and movement of the model..."strange" photo...but it works, I believe there's a "strange" story behind this...well done Dana! Best regards!

Dana, this one took my breath away-it's going into my favorites. The way she is merging (or emerging, I can't decide) with/from the wall is fascinating. I am always impressed by your level of creativity and this one is one of your best in that regard I think. This piece was obviously created and not found. The blood red of the paint, the title, the rock seemingly spit from the mouth of "Kaua" are all interesting details.Of course, your model is beautiful.

Thank you for sharing such interesting work here.

Amy

Excellent

Everyone.  Thanks for the comments and observations.  

joao.  Strange indeed.  I am glad that you think it works.  The story behind the work isn't all that strange but I think the story is simultaneously funny and a bit serious (not to mention absurd).  

Amy.  I am honored to make your favorites.  I am a huge fan and friend.  I was also happy with the movement of the model.  I think you can interpret it as merging or emerging.  My thought was that the model was emerging from the mind of Kaua and the speech was the rock (however you want to interpret that).  My thoughts on the speech and attitude of Kaua were a bit of a "cranky old man" or "unimpressed god".  But maybe that is because I am a cranky old man. I really owe the shot to the model who was interpreting the graffiti as we shot.  She is beautiful but more importantly she is fearless.  I have some other strong shots that I may post but this was my favorite from the series.  

Rudolf.  Thanks for the compliment.  I really enjoy your work as well.  

Thanks again to everyone and all the best.  Dana...
