[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This picture was taken 2 weeks ago in my photography class. Each of us had to bring models and take pictures of them.

This is one of them that I really really like.

I don't think there's anything sexual about this picture because I think it rather shows love and affection more.

Γειά σου Λεώνη (το έγραψα καλά;)

Ωραί η φωτογραφία σου, ωστόσο έχει αρκετές αδυναμίες. Μία από αυτές ο χαμηλός φωτισμός που κάνει τα μοντέλα σου να χάνονται. Μετά, με 426Χ640 είναι μάλλον μικρή για το TL και δεν αφήνει περιθώρεια για να κριτικάρουμε. Με λίγη φαντασία και κάποιες γνώσεις Photoshop μπορείς να την αναδείξεις, όπως θα δεις στο workshop που ανέβασα.

Good idea for a shot and I like the dark background that the figures "emerge" out of. However, if you wanted the photo to be more intimate and not as sexual (like you stated in your caption) I think you should have included their faces. Showing them as just body parts I think makes the focus more purely physical and sexual instead of affectionate. Also, I could see this as an advertisement for jean skirts as the lighting emphasizes the skirt she is wearing and the man's hand on the right, not so much a portrait of love or romance. I would like to see this photo without the cropping. Great try anyway and good photography!

Hi Leoni, I think its a wonderful pic. It is strong and controversial. It defenitely has sexual undertones. The first impression is almost a violent one - as if he wants to forcefully remove her skirt, then you see her relaxed hands, and it brings a calmness to the scene. Well done and keep up the thinking.

I think your photo shows power. The woman's power over the man. It is as he is begging to be able to touch her.
nice composition and interesing POV.
Well lit.
