Description
She is at the end chasing her own fading lightrunning from her shadow in the name of living
searched for worth in the lust of men
paid in blood in different beds
mistaking sex for true love
they never meant a thing
her addiction brought her a world
of coward boys and of cheater girls
looking for an easy way out of being ordinary
so she boarded their sinking ship
and crossed their red needle sea
drowning truth to live her lie
that she was ordinary
in her fading shadow.
The biggest lie of all. The man with the gun is a metaphor of the anger he'd feel.Thanks to the models; ~enfermero , Charlotte and Tuukka.

Wow. Seems like you get even more out of my photos than it was meant to be.
(you'll be one hell of a writer one day, I swear.)
This piece was born when I experienced this myself. The anger, rage, the will to destroy that liar was unbearable. Once I was that man with a gun...

I can get pretty good at reading really far into things. Sometimes too far, I suppose. As for being "one hell of a writer one day," I'm tempted to offer up the fact that I'm published...
I'm sure most if not everyone experiences some form of that, though some more keenly than others likely. It's almost a sort of acceptance, putting that experience and emotion into a visual form to share with others.

Very cool! I like the concept of love and betrayal... 2 really strong emotional concepts played against one another. I can almost feel the gunman's anger and the sadness myself.

Thank you so much.

wow! what a narrative. i love your depth of field, and the use of pose and b/w. this more than tells a story. excellent use of familiar imagery. the rest tells itself.

I tried to express the man's anger by shaky camera. I tough I'd make it more dynamic somehow.
Thank you.

interesting conceptual piece here... i like how the man with the gun is silhouetted, it adds to the feeling of rage that he must be experiencing at the time. nicely done

i love the hesitation the man with the gun shows.... he stands and watches for a moment before he raises to shoot. grand work! i love it^_^

"he stands and watches for a moment before he raises to shoot."
Oh yes, such a great point of view. It explained to me my own reaction on the same situation.
Thank you.

That's what I tried to capture here. Thank you.
Oh, and I actually study movie-techniques, I might have got some influences.

I like the pose of the models and how the man holding the gun is darker. They look so oblivious to him standing there.

Very powerful, hits me in the wrong spot. excellent use of contrast and shadow play. brilliant concept.

The subject is awful; it's my manifest towards people who cheat, I personally can't stand it and think that it is the biggest lie.
Thank you.

There is a distinct lack of quality in this image

The blurriness and "shake" is purposal, but of course some might find it distracting.
Thanks for your comment.

Well the blurriness would be understandable if the photographer was also the person who had been cheated on, but it seems like the person with the gun is the one who has been cheated on, therefore leaving the photographer as an outside party, hence why I think the photo should be clear.

pleasure! My worst fear in life is for a girl i love to cheat on me, so i can really imagine the emotion from the pic! gj!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I hope you don't have to ever experince what it is like to be cheated. I think it's the biggest lie.
Thank you again.

Oh my this is great! I love making pictures that tell a story and that does such a thing! I Love the angle, the positioning and colours. Check out my pieces too but this is great +FAV!

That's what i'm trying to achieve with my art, make people think and react. I try to capture the not-so-pretty side of life.
Thank you so much.

I love the slight blur, good outfits. Good shot of the gun, too

this is SO great. you know? the most important part of a deviation is one that tells a story.
we are behind this scene, but the first we notice, is the man, and then the couple. everything is here, no less, no more.
wonderful!
