Thanks for visiting Visual Temptation at Renderosity! This page showcases the artwork and photography of the artist formally know here as InYerPhaze.
My name is Adam Gazzola a.k.a. Se7en. Split personality? You don't know the half of it!!!
I walk a thin line between creativity and insanity. It feels good!
I was born and raised in New York. My mother an artist and my father a people person. I have a little of both of them in my personality. More of my mother... I can be a fun, outgoing people person when I like but mostly I shy away from parties and events.
That's not to say I don't enjoy the limelight... Since the age of 13 I have been in numerous rock 'n roll bands. I truely love performing live and have quite an outgoing stage presence, but after the shows I'm usually hiding in a dark corner with a scotch and a close friend.
I have been an "artist", we'll get back to that later, since my mom gave me a box of crayons. I've only recently gotten serious about photography. It happened with the last band I was in when I started taking portraits of the singer.
I've found photography to be the perfect avenue to satisfy my need for visual expression. I've been here at Renderosity for quite some time and have learned so much from all the incredibly talented members.
I someday want to get into film and return to music. But for now I find peace and contentment in photography.
Getting back to the whole "artist" thing... I don't consider myself an artist. I feel I'm more like a vessel to help the universe display it's love and beauty. I have been given a gift, the ability to capture the essence of the soul.
Thanks again for visiting and have a peaceful and blessed day!!!
Adam

Yes I agree there is something to be said about what Chantal was going on about. That something is the fact that Chantal is arrogant, self righteous, and rude. Hmmm, so more pictures that have naked people in them get hits than those with out them. Welcome to the reality of human nature. I can see nothing in your work that is vulgar or lacking in artistic value. I most certainly see nothing that justifies a personal attack against you and all of us in the community that appreciate your work. As to the "Yeah BOOBIES" question, I think most of your viewers have more sophistication than that. There is no shortage of far more graphic sources of titillation on the Internet. What makes Nude Study #1 special? I'd have to say the impact the image has on the viewer. First there is the stark contrast of the gleaming skinned model against a dead black background. It is as if she is in a vacuum, nothing exists but her and the viewer. She seems vibrant and larger than life but at the same time a bit surreal. The framing of the shot is also dramatic. Not being able to see the model's eyes make her seem very enigmatic and secretive. It also gave me the impression of sharing a private and sensual moment with her. In my personal opinion your work has artistic value and shows a high degree of skill. I hope you will not let the unjustified rantings of one critic poison your work. Now if you will excuse me I'm off to masturbate to some photos of trees "Yeah TREES!!"

It's a well known fact that a nipple in your thumbnail will boost the number of visitors to your current post (come to think of it, fairies also get a huge amount of hits... hmmm...) Welcome to Renderosity :-)allthough it'll probably be the same in any online art community. A large portion of those extra visitors will look at the boobs, go 'yeah' and move on, but there will always be a group that does recognize and appreciate your talent, and they are the ones that keep coming back for more. Not for the boobs, but because they like what you do and how you do it. Personally I don't mind if you keep a no nudity policy, it's the Alicia-series, Alice in Wonderland, and Liquid Wrenching kind of stuff that got you in my list of favorites. I also love this one, especially the way you played with the magnifying glass. My advice: Just keep on doing what YOU like to do, and people that have a problem with that should go bark up somebody else's TREES.

I think your shots are very nice. But I must respons to your comment on this picture. I understand the whole 'nude study' thing. But you can't blame people for finding your picture a kind of erotic. I'm not a boob-man myself, but do think of it as an erotic picture. It tickles the mind. There is a story there. Plus ofcourse that there is drugs and masturbation/sexual stimulation in this picture. Only a doofus, or a hopeless nerd would not find this picture sexy. I'll even state that probably 99% of the women out there will find this pic very arousing. Thank you 4 sharing this one.

As a man who appreciates the female form, I can admit that I am drawn to something sensually and artistically displayed that run-of-the-mill smut. As FaustoLucianCain stated, there are planty of places to go on the net for that. (I especially liked his, "Yeah TREES!" comment. That said, I also like spaceships and post-apocalyptic scenes. I suppose my heaven on Earth would be a spaceship filled with lingerie-clad women landing in a ruined city... but surely you understand that people tend to look at what catches their eyes?
