Description This is Anna, a model I was very close with. We were having a deep conversation in between sets one day, on a deeply personal subject that... well, you can read the emotion.

She was about to change into a dress, but then just sat there and said something to me that really broke my heart. I looked up and saw her expression, the way she was looking at me, and couldn't think of anything to say in response. I grabbed my camera, aimed it in her direction, using the screen, (not looking through the lense), and snapped the image.

I have gone back and forth about sharing this shot, it's one of the most deeply personal photo's I have ever taken, on both ends. But I suppose that's what photography is about, right?

I can't think of what she said, but its a great picture nonetheless.

And No, it's not pornographic, it's very sensitive and deep in a special way.

Thank you for sharing

Catching an emotion in a photo shot it should be the most difficult achievement in photography. You've done it.

Dont listen to lucasvicious. This is a beautiful photo, with a beautiful model! You've really captured the emotion of what you were talking about. Its amazing that you actually caught the shot with such clarity, and at that angle, so that it doesn't show any nudity, but instead implies it from the waist down.

This is truly beautiful.

This isn't art at all, this is plain pornography.
I'm getting sick of seeing these on the front page of dA, especially the people who respond as "It's beautiful. *fapfapfap*".
It's ridiculous.

HateFlash In reply to Lucasvicious [2012-02-20 20:35:23 +0000 UTC]

@ Lucasvicious

This is not porn at all.
She is not nude. There is no toy or male/female partner involved, plus she is just looking into the camera.

If you can't look at the beauty of women simply because they aren't fully clothed, then switch on the maure filter.

And please move back into your fumdemental christian camp.

Thank you.

There is not even any nudity in the picture... on a website that usually has stolen images from porn sites on the front page, I don't know why a picture of a girl in clothes sitting on a rock and talking would bother you.

Yo, forgive me if I'm wrong (which I'm not) but you can just turn on your mature filter and avoid all pics like this. Honestly, your being immature. Oh, and I am sick of seeing these accounts with no actual content, especially the people who respond to images as "OMG THIS IS PRONZ I CANT STANDZ THIS, I MUST ENLIGHTEN THE WORLD WITH MY POINTLESS BITCHING!".
So hey, Mr.ImSoCoolIHaveAFakeAccount, get a life and stop being a troll. Have a nice day.

Turn the mature content filter on. And some people will say "It's beautiful" (with out the, *fapfapfap*) because of the lighting, setting, background, and functions used on the camera, it's photography, which is art too.

She has posted it before, so not a big deal.

However, if I wrote what she said that would not make her happy, and I have never told anyone so we are good.

Thanks for sharing emotions, this is why I'm living. Personnally I just can't keep my feelings inside, but like you I always share it with strangers, more than with my own family or my friends, don't why. This is a great shot, it's living, real, true.

My my, she is gorgeous. It's really quite interesting how you're able to get such personal photos and be a person whom she opens up to. However, her expression seems to me more like one of surprise, I'm not sure if that's what you were implying. Regardless, it's a beautiful shot. Amazing how you took it like that and it's so horizontally balanced.
