ENCOURAGED AND INFLUENCED!
🖥️: BLACK and WHITE NUDE!
Yes, I have a thing for Art just like the next man might…but this right here is something that I’ve only entertained within my mind.

Knowing and understanding the place of Black Bodies within society, I enjoy the impression and expression this communicates. In this set—while I’m unaware of the author, models or even series—I see the female black body seemingly in want and demand. Unknown if she is grabbing herself while being embraced and then groped, there is passion here. There is desire and lust. There may be love but there also seems to be abuse and torture. The transition from the first to the second implies that there is want and desire and self-love because of it…but then too much desire—there is demand and need. Because of this demand and need, there is torture and pain.
While this was only recently found at Tumblr.com, I’m unsure of what the true meanings are but this is my objective view and interpretation.
I would love to reproduce a piece like this removing the often times sexist opportunistic paradigms or concepts that come with being a male photographer. This is a supreme type of artistry. This is worth making an independent project out of.
