If you notice I love being a observer to unique photography:
......I like a photo to scream out "the only person to shoot this could be ME at THIS exact moment!"
......I love soulful models
......I'm a sucker for a smoking lady
...... You'll notice a few redheads too
(common themes in my faves are things I consider myself?)
..... I love having twenty questions for the photographer but just leaving them unanswered/ answering them in my imagination.
......I also like photos that unmistakably create one idea or theme, also monochromatic colors (these are themes in my art).
..... I have a slight obsession with motion in a photo (particularly hair)
..... I can't wait, wait, wait until I get a camera.

Portland. Paint. Ink. Make-up. Tattoo. Mehendi. Magazines. Scissors. Red-head. Bi. Comics. Music. Film. Zen. Writing. Gelato. GB's. Smiling.

I am the type of artist that can do anything I put my mind to. I have done every sort of 2-d art and enjoy most calligraphy, drawing, painting, decorating my apartment, henna/mehendi, collage, screen printing, sidewalk chalk, etchboard, stone and wood sculpture, designing tattoos for my friends, making weird themed music mixes, dreaming about future animations, comics no one ever sees, make-up, make-up, make-up, photography (I don't have a camera and it's killing me! Very discouraging....), and many other things that make people go 'hmmm..'.

I like to look around and love to favorite anything that jumps out of this crazy sea of diamonds and filth and makes me feel something. Check out my favorites, it's the best of deviantART in my humble opinion ;) and I am very proud of it. :)

If you are in my favorites I probably love your whole gallery, sometimes I'm discouraged by a gallery so I won't add something as a favorite, I dunno, I'm picky about the artist's overall vision and talent. You will probably notice one of your friends/faves in there too, it's all one chain of amazing talent... I can't stop clicking!!!



Keep checking my page, things will trickle in soon.

Don't be a lurker like me, leave me comments, I am nice:

DA Artistic Nude Critique- Headless Women

Thu Aug 13, 2009, 12:46 PM
Ok, so lurking around DA and around a lot of different photographers I have noticed this trend of AN OVERWHELMING AMOUNT of headless nudes. I have many pet peeves about this, hear me out I have some theories:

1) They look cropped. They are perhaps not the whole photo and the artist thinks they are saving their models/themselves some trauma by not having their face connected to a naked body on the internet. Instead, I believe there is no proof that pic was even yours/there's nothing stopping anyone from easily stealing it. I understand protecting your models, but I also understand sticking with your original vision, some of these just look unfinished, why put them up at all? Just save them for a more predictable audience!

2) Even if they were not cropped, even if that is your vision, repeating this over and over in your gallery is telling me and all of deviant art: this is what is beautiful about a woman, this is what matters. And guess what that is? Boobs. In an artistic nude when a face, or even an obscured head is present it balances out the breasts. When you crop a photo at the chin ending at the hips/knees the boobs are the focal point. So bravo DA, you have the most varied portraits of boobs and torsos, but who gives a hoot? What are you trying to say? Im saying, The most beautiful part of a woman is her face!

3) I am not saying you can't have torso shots be artistic or feminist, there are loads of the shots I'm complaining about in my favorites, I'm just saying look around DA! Unless it's absolutely amazing (and some are, again, check out my faves) these headless hot bodies are EVERYWHERE and to me they are getting OFFENSIVE and COWARDLY.

feel free to argue, I am not trying to pick on anyone.
