I love this peice, not only because its beautifuly composed but also for the fact a male model was used (self shot?) All to often males are left out of the picture, along with bulimia Anorexia is seen as "The rich girls" disorder, wich is very far from the truth. This leads to many people going under the carpet and not reciving help as their family and freinds would never expect it from them. In my 3 years of treatment I only ever met one male yet in my suffering and skeeking support online I have met to many to count, hopefully as your image gains notoriety more people will become aware that this illness also affects males.
3 things I love about the compostion of this image:
1: The anonymity.
2: The face; again bringing me back to the anonymity. You canot see the face of the subject but still you can feel so much emotion.
3: The desperation the hands show to remove flesh from their body.
I also love the lighting and the style you have shot this in, cold and dark, I dont think it would have had the same impact if youd of shot this in your normal style, so very good dessison.
Again very pleasing image and the message is very clear. I love it! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l⦠" width="26" height="17" alt="

For me i am slightly disturbed that this piece made it to the daily deviations and why anyone would want to see the severities of anorexia and a part of me feels it is promoting eating disorders however i read through the comments and took a look into greater detail and realised this piece is NOT promoting anorexia it is warning others about it so there for it is a strong piece with a strong message lots of people suffer with eating disorders all over the world and the message of this piece gives out just how serious the illness can get well done.

Thank you a lot for this input, I appreciate it!

I saw this, and I cringed. I'm pretty sure that this hits home with a lot of people... I know that many boys and girls are impacted not only by images in the media, but expectations from themselves to be as skinny as a picture of the cover of Vogue magazine. It certainly is more than a handful of people that have this disorder, and this really makes me feel for them. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="

Thanks a lot for this honest critique, I appreciate it!

No problem at all! I was just going to comment, but when I saw only critiques were accepted, I decided to go ahead and do one. It wasn't hard to come up with 100 words on your piece.

Sooo
DAS ist mit Abstand dein bestes Bild!
Ich finde es absulut abstosend ....was gut ist denn kunst muss nicht immer schΓΆn sein sie darf auch mal Ekel hass oder andere GefΓΌhle hervorrufen. Ich wollte auch schon lange so ein Bild machen ich hΓ€tte auch die passenden Models gehabt aber naja ich wollte dann iwie doch nicht^^
Soo
Technik:
1A Ich geh mal von aus dass es von anfang an Monochrom war was zu diesem Thema immer sehr gut passt. Der Bildauschnitt ist wirklich ich wills mal sagen atemberaubend! wenn das wirklich so alles geplant war dann WOW! hut ab
^^
aber was schluss endlich dem bild die Wirkung gibt ist diese verkrampfte Pose....das Zerren an einem Selbst wirkt nicht nur leidenschaftlich sondern auch verzweifelt hat fast schon was von selbsthass und selbst verstΓΌmmelung....es wirkt verzweifelt und sehr dΓΌster man will wissen wer diese person ist es wirft fragen auf bei anderen auch Angst.
Es ist unglaublich vielseitig...e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="
Das ist meine erste Kritik seit so 4-5 Monaten fΓΌhl dich geehrt xD

Und ja, war alles so geplant, hatte vielleicht auch einen Square im Sinn, aber so gefiel es mir besser.

This image creates such an impact on the viewer. The way the hands are positioned on the body in its gripping manner, like it is trying to pull the flesh off. I'm sure many can relate to this concept - the feeling one gets when they are unhappy with their body. The black and white tones go perfectly with this mood and the contrast between the background and the subject just makes it all the more intense. It would not have been more profound had the face been included. The face being cropped off just brings the viewer to focus on the main subject. This is a wonderful piece executed brilliantly, not to mention, really thought-provoking and emotion-stirring. Well done!

I'm glad you like it!

I love the intensity here. The play of light and shadow. The anger and the frustration is apparent. As I look at your work it reminds me of my frustration with my body. I think at times I want to grip my self in this manner. I don't think the impact would be as illustrative if this image was done in colour. The use of gray scale here was very appropriate in this instance. I also like the clarity and sharpness with a neutral gray background that will not take away from the subject. I rate this 5 stars all the way. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h⦠" width="35" height="17" alt="

Angrily gripping, grabbing and probing for the slightest hint of the dreaded fat. Finding any is torment. So is not finding any.

Be careful. I nearly died of it. Couldn't stand upp without passing out. Just a small thing as changing the channel with the remote control was to exhoustin(how ever you spell that). Could not watch tv only listen to it becaus I couldn't keep my eyes open in the light. Had to lay in complete darkness

Hy! Thx for the thinspiration!
I've made my own version of this picture: [link]
Hope you like it.

This is how I feel I look like in the mirror.

I am anorexic and I feel as if you have captured the meaning of it in this one picture.

that's probably one of the greatest compliments one could ever receive; of course it's not a positive thing, but still, maybe that makes it realer. I hope things are starting to get better for you, even though I know it's almost impossible ..

thats amazing....no need for words the picture says it all. WOW!

I just came across this. I love the concept and the shot. I have worked with my own body in shots that show this same type of torment. One I think you might like is this one.

I did an entire self nude series that dealt with strong emotions not unlike that which is conveyed here. Just wanted to say that I love this piece and thank you for sharing yourself and your emotions.

I really enjoy your piece, such a strong emotion captured!

Thanks. I am glad you enjoyed my piece. Hopefully as much as I truly do appreciate yours

I think what I like best about this photo is that you can't really tell the gender of the model. I've had two friends (one male, one female) who've suffered from anorexia and they'd gotten to the point where you pretty much couldn't see any difference between their bodies anymore.
I also find it incredibly pathetic that I look at this photo and realize that, on some degree, I want to look like that again.

I never thought about it from this perspective, especially because so many people talked about "the boy shown on this picture", and since I myself modeled for it, I always saw the boy. But now that you are saying this, it changes everything for me and it appears ... well, genderless to me. if that is a word.
and I know that feeling. but no. I think it's something we all have got to fight.

Glad I could give you a new perspective. I have a lot of respect for you for taking this photo. (It's incredibly untrue and unfair when eating disorders are labeled as "girl's problems".)
Also, I sort of featured the photo here: [link] (If that's a problem, I'll take it down.)
