"Threatening" ,"Clouds and Trees" and "Bare Essentials" represent three new photographic essays of interest...
all them poses some kind of photographic questioning that opens to discussion and to go further in the understanding of photographic creation.
From the three I selected "Bare Essentials" for a short comment.
The photo is a good example where the photographer has chosen the correct angle and position to make the shot.
The dummy and the portrait interact in a superposition very creative.
An overall impression of eroticism, very provocative even if subtle.
No doubt very significative photographic substrate and content.
Thank you P.R. I am very glad you like this photo. I am also very humbled by your comment.
This shot was taken during a visit to a shopping mall a couple of days ago. Walking around the mall I could not help noticing the fact that a lot of the mannequins were headless and having a distorted mind I was wondering if this was some sort of subliminal messaging aimed at the shoppers (that is the meaning of the photo "leave your head at home please" and this one.
It is interesting that you mention eroticism which in my opinion emanates from the brain and hence the contradiction with the headless dummies. Maybe I am looking for meaning in things which may not necessarily have one beyond the obvious and the superficial?
We have here a discussion that probably could go further. In this particular photo, eroticism ( taking aside the obvious association with lingerie) maybe is present specially by the superposition mannequins/photo behind. There is a kind of interaction between them. The absence of heads, on the other hand, may also be an element of fetishism. The meaning in things is exactly, on my view, what makes the difference to establish if a photo has interest or not.
