One of the things I love about this forum (and others here on FM) is that not only do I get to see wonderful photographs and gain information as well as inspiration, but I often get introduced to photographers I've never heard of.
As a woman, when I look at this post, and the Liedtke work that deinfaces linked to, I have tremendous empathy for these women, and how tough it must have been for all but the thickest-skinned of them to handle growing up in a society that places its highest values on physical perfection and flawlessness. Women can act tough, but inside, self-doubt and self loathing can really take a toll. I can't say whether deinfaces' model is using her tats as a deflection mechanism. I think I understand what you are going for and yours is a B&W project. I will say that the color version is more soft and flattering - only by the standards of today's mainstream views on beauty or attractiveness. I have yet to finish my first cup of coffee, so I am not sure this even makes sense!
I should add that I find it very interesting and a bit refreshing that the men commenting here like the B&W image.
Thank you, Zorro, chrono, and Jim.
Sharon, wow, such an insightful post - eight months after posting! Glad that you find meaning in Fritz Liedtke's work.
I really enjoyed this picture. It's always amazing to me that a black and white, and color picture can be so different. The black and white makes the freckles look harsh and stand out more then any other feature. With the color they look soft and her other attributes stand out. I love the b&w. It stirs something in me that color can never do. Thanks!
