Description
Model:Stock images by *Shoofly-Stock
i'm pretty much disappointed lately by all the people who prefer positive themes in photography. vivid warm colors, smiles and all that c--p. and they're not saying it out loud of course, they just tend to

thank you captain Obvious!
i know they rule, even more without a swimsuit. i'm just against calling every one of such images 'a masterpiece'.

well, my guess is that people are going towards warm photography, because the thoughts of actual world ("crisis" and that stuff) is scaring even those who are not directly touched, therefore they want only "good karma" and nice little things.
Non the less, I really like this capture, espically the pose with thos long fingers . By the way were they made longer or is she just made for piano huhu? (yeah in france, who has long fingers has "pianist hands").

i want to be happy too! but still, we're here discussing horror picture, and i'm here listening to some death/doom band. and happy! i'm not even sure i want to understand people, they're just full of superstitions.
and thanks! the fingers are totally out of proportions here, they're totally postprocessed of course. as well as many other things.

Definitely right for music! Like Julia Merenges said about tango: it is a music of sadness but it does not mean people who like tango are sad people. They just have a different relation with sadness and gloomy feelings.
I didn't think in any way you were not a happy person hehe. Just that only happiness is a desire most people have; a shame.
The post process made on the capture are really nice, then again, for they do not alter the status of the model or the picture. \o/

Beautiful shot. I love the aura of light around her head that deepens the darkness of the rest of the picture. This shot reminds me of the song Thy Raven Wings by My Dying Bride, a band who isn't afraid of dealing with the darker aspects of emotion and music.

Maybe people just prefer to see happy cheerful things with no hint of a problem, because that's what everybody wants to feel like and it's easiest to suck feelings from pictures. About music, people like to hear how they actually feel. It makes a surrounding and a support to all of that.
I like this photo very much, and I think it could be better if it had a bit stronger colours, maybe just of the sky. But it is powerful already

i don't mind people being happy, i don't believe i can ruin it by showing something like this. i thought happy people like sad stories too.
and the coloring is all made by me, i actually prefer such dull colors, can't help it. thank you!

Ah, the never-ending battle between impressing the masses and expressing oneself.
I, for instance, am going to do more dark photography soon. In the mean time there is so much to learn for me about composition and lighting.
I really wish a day had 48 hours.

I ventured into mainstream a bit, but I much prefer to work with alternative oriented people.
I agree about the tanned babes in swimsuits.
The masses have shallow taste

Then when I get thoughts about Alma, she creeps me..
I always keep my eyes closed and keep telling my self in my head that she does not exist. X3
I have heard of Dead Space, but never heard of the musics. All I played is the demo. XP lolz
