Artist's Comments

Body forms. Series 3.1

"If our mind is shaped by our experiences, so too, our body shaped by our repeated actions. The uselesness of the body builders craft is akin to the mental agility of little practical application enjoyed by the 'idiot savant'. To have our form shaped though, by the obsessions that we undertake, is to create a wonderful landscape to explore. To enjoy the naked form as art is to grow beyond the human desires we feel. And thus we open up a whole new world of beauty, hitherto only seen as stimulus" - Doug

I love the way she's been placed on a block, the way the lighting comes from in front of her and the way it seems like she about to explode into life from the starting block position she is posed in. Also like the vast amounts of negative space surrounding her .. exceptional well thought out, planned and executed piece of work my friend :hug:

OK we KNOW and SEE that you are a brilliant photographer (kissed by the muses I'd say) and therefore my humble comments can be little more (or less) than superflous.
She looks, as *danisan would say, poised.

What really turns me on (in the most encompassing way) is the thought of Doug the Thinker.
(Licking my lips again). The bit about enjoying the naked form as art and growing beyond my desires: I experienced this (when I did life drawing) at first with a sense of puzzlement and then understanding if not to say elation and exhileration.

Do you have your own studio? Your shots are always so clean. I want a studio but I have a feeling I would just get messier.

Lovely as always, my dear!

Gorgeous lighting (yep, I'm a little jealous). Nice pose and stuff. :thumbsup:

How do you manage to get such a background?

i am missing a bit of the tenseness you would have in such a position, instead of looking down she should look straight ahead. just what i think :)
very good work though!
