Seen!
These portraits were taken during video shoots for adult websites in the mid to late 2000s. They capture the excitement of stepping outside a comfort zone and breaking rules, unselfconscious and shame free.
The portraits are printed on brushed aluminum with a flat, matte finish. They range in size from 18 x 36 inches to 36 x 24 inches. These large sizes are intended to emphasize the sense of play and joy the model is experiencing, bringing them into the room with us.
The metal substrate acts as a freeze-frame, focused on the thrill that comes from being uncensored and vulnerable and realizing the validation and acceptance that comes from doing it.
It is okay to crave experience, defy social taboos, be sexy, sarcastic and silly.
It’s fun!
