overall a nice shot, but for me it's kind of too much with the saw AND the test tube and the rest of the stuff around your model. could you explain why you didn't focus on one main item?thanks,

My answer to your question, Patrick, is that In the serie I'm looking for the accumulation of signs. I don't want to do "subbtle", I want over-emphasis...

I looked at the photo, loved it, then read the comment above and started to wonder about the saw. It's not that I am inconsistent in my opinions or that I am easily influenced come to that, it's just that on longer scrutiny, I start to find the message a bit confused. Still an amazing piece of work, and the model without doubt is a superb accomplice. She totally dominates the screen. If I was a model, I would feel a sense of accomplishment at producing work like this.

 

Oh, and I love that shadow which kind of shouldn't be there crossing her groin. Just shows how subjective appreciation is.

Hi John,

 

This is one of the first photos of the first session of a serie of 6 that will become a book, the publisher having signed on the concept on the basis of the first 10 pictures. A team has assembled for this project, Liloo the Model, Anne the make-up artist and Romain as a DA and prop maker. Clearly we are still toying around withe the possibilities and are probably doing a little too much with it. We need to refine the whole erotico/trash/fantastic concept.

 

You must have sensed that when you feel the mesage id "a bit confused"

 

Having said that, you know I'm more favorable to sensations than to messages. In that book, there will be no story, no "prise de position", ever...
