Hate when that happens! Lost the whole LONG comment - grrrr
Summary - first image works - very well. Combo of composition, leveling of characters, tension, indifference, obliviousness, expression and body posture. Nice second is close - but expression and body tension is not as strong and natural asin 1st.
Like 3rd image - but - newspaper shoved up your butt - well - too distracting and speaks to other issues that you are not discussin:)
Nice apron. Sasha - you be quite the trooper girl!
looking forward to seeing the series expansion.
I think you should do a full calendar - would be/could be very lucrative or, just a real kick to produce... Do a search and see what is out there now, but I can't remember seeing anything quite like this....
Wow Patti, I just had the same thing happen. Mother bitch.
Well, I agree about image 3 being distracting with the newspaper rumpage.
However, I prefer image 2 to image 1. Here's why...
I find the bottle in the back of #1 distracting, my eye is pulled back into the center of the photo, whereas is #2, Sasha's active use of the bottle cause it to flow into the composition
You are coming more forward in #2, towards the viewer
There is a strong diagonal line between the two of you, which appears to me as a visual wall that conveys a strong tone of indifference/ the separation between masculinity and femininity
The position of Sasha's leg creates an interesting shadow
Only thing I would change is get rid of the rose leaf that looks like it's going into Sasha's nose
All that being said, I think these are beautiful images and I am excited to see prints! Way to go Christian, this is a great body of work.
