What I like about this genre of photography is the strange "disconnection" that occurs. There's a model (professional or just some dude the photographer knows) and then there's a character (someone fictional) and yet in looking at shots like this one, I find myself attempting to see where model and character either come together or diverge. That creates a kind of tension that I love to explore as I always asking myself to define what I'm seeing and to figure out just how much collaboration is taking place between model, photographer, and viewer. I guess because I'm primarily a writer, I'm looking for the story and as your average viewer (with a taste for human-shaped eye-candy) I'm looking to see what I connect with. And in looking at this piece in particular, I'm intrigued by all of the rampant implications of this shot, ranging from simmering sensuality to moderate boredom and perhaps a bit of confusion as to where a particular shit might just have been misplaced...etc. I love these kinds of shots simply because they let my mind wander, and this is very well done...very sleek, very snazzy, and very sexy in that way that the finest human-focused artwork tends to be when shirts humans are being all cute and shirtless. I love the capture of color and texture, of the solid wall and the softer, frail-er human flesh, and the wistful expression on the model's (character's?) face. In short there's a lot to like in this shot and a lot to explore. Excellently done.

Excellent Shot
