wmc718 3 Posted June 24, 2009 A beautifully executed image of a striking model. And the presentation is definitely of an artistic-portrait nature. But, I'm going to have to let this one sink in for awhile to deliberate on the lace-wrapped dildo. On one hand, it's real life, and it's presented beautifully. On the the other, would it be considered porn? A hard one... so to speak! lol Best, Michael Link to comment
davidmccracken 2 Posted June 26, 2009 There is no doubt this is a very well taken shot however, my feeling when looking at this is that it is all rather silly. I have no idea what you are trying to show here. If it had been a portrait with the head scarf it would have been fantastic. If it hadn't been so well taken it might have been a good porn shot! I pretty much agree with Michael C's first paragraph. Link to comment
rudolf_kartelin 4 Posted June 27, 2009 DAVID McCracken I do not understand. What are you unhappy? And if it would be in the hands of an apple? That would be porn? Now many women enjoy dildo. I found life itself. Shawl and other items needed to create the image. At your photo is erotic aggression. It is your choice. Do not be a man who sees only a nose. In the photo, everyone sees what can and what he wanted. Link to comment
hassan_raza 0 Posted July 3, 2009 Dear Rudolf, The Picture is great, no Doubt. But you should accept and handle the Comments/Critiques with open heart. Dont be angry or offended because they didnt see it what you wanted to show. Everybody has there own view. Isnt it so? Usually you wont see a picture like this, a model with dildo in her hand :). it was too open for some viewer But scarf/shawl hanging, lighting and model is great. And By the way David McCracken You were too open by saying it silly, It was not nice. Regards Link to comment
bertrand baus 0 Posted July 16, 2009 Technically, no comment, but I consider this one very crude. I think that the models apears forced in her gestures, rejecting the act that underestimates woman as a genre. Original, may be... aestethic, no way!! Link to comment
jerrymat 3 Posted August 31, 2009 Perhaps you ought to consider the new 2257 law changes and the fact that you are not obeying them. I see no obligatory notice with your picture. They have a five year federal prison sentence for photographers who do not follow the new law. Link to comment
rudolf_kartelin 4 Posted September 1, 2009 How many years of imprisonment would you give Outstanding photographers of erotica: Man Ray, David Hamilton, Sally Mann, Nelmut Newton, Jock Sturdzhes, Jan Saudek and others Link to comment
brandiebond 0 Posted April 22, 2010 I find this photo challenging, confrontational, honest and beautiful. I'm disturbed to find it called porn - is it designed to arouse for the sake of a profit? Or does this just confront a woman's sexuality and our puritanical perceptions thereof in an open and gritty manner?There is no idealism here. There is no sales pitch. I get the impression that this woman will do as she pleases, regardless of how the viewer perceives her. I applaud the strength that this image portrays...and I certainly applaud the model who had the guts to do this.Beautifully done - just wow. I have loved the honesty in all your other work, but this image about knocked me off my chair. I love it! Link to comment
nigel_stanbridge 0 Posted September 28, 2010 This image is not so much about its photgraphic quality as about its visual impact, the impression it leaves of a knowingly desirable woman openly displaying her womanhood, yet disdainfully rejecting any desires the viewer may have. In that sense,it works and may even be said to carry social comment. Link to comment
westcave 0 Posted October 15, 2012 I love this concept. As for the guy who wants you to "obey the law" . . . he is disturbed. Keep pushing your art. Good art is dynamic and creates tension with the viewer. I wish I had thought of this. Link to comment
