In this body of work I am interested in exploring the female form. I am interested in both the formal aspects of the nude as well as the erotic charge that one can create in the viewer. However, I think this charge is delicate in a photograph and easy to spoil. For example, the typical come-on pose that one sees, or gratuitous nakedness.
I'm most interested in the formal qualities of the nude but I'm finding that I want to go a bit further and show more context and psychology. That is, I don't want the photo to be only about how the viewer feels when seeing the nude, but also how the model (we imagine) feels in the moment represented by the photo. The interesting thing is that I don't know what that is--thus the need for the photo event.
I shoot digital and film but I prefer to shoot on film.
