ddubler Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 As an art form based in “the actual,” photography has always provided a meeting-ground for both beauty and truth. In over forty years shooting fashion and beauty portraits, I have consistently sought to explore this intersection, looking for moments that define a visual tapestry, woven out of the “why,” as well as the “who.” My photography depends upon finding the right tools, creating the right environment, and establishing the right rapport with a subject, to display something of the truth within the beauty I'm capturing. My recent creation of a portrait entitled, “Indonesian Beauty” demonstrated the process of combining technique, technology, and timing in order to capture a compelling, and transcendent image.

Golem Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Really fine arts and fashion shot. Terrific on that score. On the "truth and beauty" score, I see the 'beauty', but am skeptical about the 'truth'. I spoze somewhere there may be a very pale-skinned, blue-eyed Indonesian, but is it really true in this shot ? For all I know she IS an Indonesian, but I'd still find her self-presentation to be at odds with your 'truth' thing. Despite obvious beauty, this image has more than a tiny hint of that creepy Michael Jackson stuff going on. I really do like the shot, and creepy beats boring cliche anytime. I'm only put off by some accompanying words, not by the image. "Truth within the beauty" is not at all what I'm finding. And it isn't any holy grail to me, either. It's just that you wrote it, but I personally don't see it. What I do see I'd describe as "Glamor plus Creepy plus Deception can equal Beauty". Kinda like in "Cabaret" :-) Indonesia is a huge, partially secular, Moslem country. And this shows a very fashionable answer to being fully covered, hair included, altho not veiled. Way cool image. P.S. On additional viewing I see what may be a veil, but allowed to fall aside, as if not out in public. More cool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
