I don't mind the shadow so much, but I get what he means in a photographers point of view. ANYWAY, this shot hits me hard as a recovering heroin addict. If people only knew how many beautiful souls, inside and out, end up in that corner. Or dead on the crackhouse floor with the syringe still hanging out of their arm...

I'm glad it had that effect because that gritty, realism of despair is exactly what I am after. I want these to be confrontational and push an idea of vulnerability. I want to do more but am having trouble finding models brave enough to do this style as they can get pretty grubby. Thanks for the comment.

Well, you hit the nail RIGHT on the head. Oh, and speaking of finding models. I can't fine A SINGLE ONE. I can't afford to be paying them when I don't even sell my work yet, and when you post on say...Craigslist.org asking for models they just think you're some pervert! Any tips??? And you're very welcome for the comment, you earned it.

I find most of my models at ModelMayhem, but you do have to pay for nudes out of respect. You're asking a lot of the model and it's only fair. It also establishes you are legit because there are lots of sleezy guys out there too. So try ModelMayhem, you'll get models in your local area and often they want help building their portfolio and will work for free (except nudes).

Cheers. As below, I want to do more and try a few daylight, but fidning models perapred to do this kind of confronting, irty, anti-glam is proving hard. Most want pretty shots and don't like dirt. Caitlin, in this shot, was brilliant.

That's a really bleak image. I love the hand gripping the toes and the foetal position. Hiding from everything in their head as well as what's outside. I find the shadow a little distracting but otherwise it's a beautifully raw emotional shot.
