If someone considers my work to be porn, although I don't think it is, at least I'd like it to be considered porn with a certain amount of gravitas...

Über sad-faced Sara. You may have noticed that there are not many smiles in the work presented here. For better or for worse, smiling is a coping strategy. To me, you perhaps get closer to the soul of a person when they stop smiling.

I like the movement and vitality of this one. I typically try to stay away from spread leg shots, as they tend to be a little too porn-tastic. This seems to transcend that a little bit.

I think that Izzy had more fun doing a suspension than anybody else. She had been pestering me for quite a while to do one, and now I could see why...

"I am not interested in rules and conventions... photography is not a sport. If I think a picture will look better brilliantly lit, I use lights or even flash. It is the result that counts, no matter how it was achieved." ~Bill Brandt

I love a point of view like this. To me, it seems to force the viewer into the image and become part of the image. When you shoot from below, typically a subject can make the viewer feel as though the subject is in control of a situation. The simple act of looking up at a subject/object can impart a loss of control or the idea that the object is unobtainable. In this case, since the subject is bound, it throws that notion topsy-turvy— which I think makes for a nice tension.

Come on little miss and do the twist. Oh yeah, just like this...

Sonia

Biteable: a term to describe a person of the opposite sex that is so incredibly cute that you just want to give them a nibble. Not so hard that you get a full course meal, but hard enough so that you could accurately rate them.

I've done so many of these sort of formal, sitting on a stool shots over the years— I could probably gather them into a decent series.
