american-photographer angles avoid certain evidence original people shoot
Now, I recognize that there are certain postures and angles that make people see red, which are evidence of original sin or something, and I avoid that. I don't shoot that any more.
practice consumption one-for-me
That dichotomy between the public consumption of the work and my intent and practice in making it is an uneasy one for me, on occasion.
occupy-yourself body might
My hope is that the work is in some way counter-pinup. A pinup asks you to suspend interest in who the person is and occupy yourself entirely with looking at the body and fantasizing about what you could do with that body, completely ignoring how the person might feel about it.
ifs-and people messages
I've had to relearn how I work with people so that if and when I do avoid different things I don't send any messages in doing so.
arms pants looks
If somebody's pointing a trembling finger at your pants and saying you shouldn't be doing that, follow that finger back, go up the arm and look at the head that's behind it, because there's almost always something fairly woolly in there.
shame phenomenon
As soon as you forbid something, you make it extraordinarily appealing. You also bring shame in as a phenomenon.
erotic sensual birth
I will always admit immediately to what's obvious, which is that Homo sapiens is inherently erotic or inherently sensual from birth.
denial found apartment
I found myself serving a sentence of public denial from the very second the raid on my apartment happened.
