Abstract
Definition: Abstract - having only intrinsic form with little or no attempt at pictorial representation or narrative content.
Is there a part of your body that you think is really great? Is it your eyes, hands, legs, bottom, back, neck, breasts, ankles, feet or even your skin? Or maybe you simply feel comfortable within your own skin and would like to express your contentment through film. If so then this section could be for you.
There are many people who would like to capture their perfect body part on film but would be too embarrassed/shy to have their face included in the picture. Others are quite rightly proud of a particular aspect of their body but would never think of taking a photograph of it in isolation.
The human body is an incredibly beautiful thing and abstract photography attempts to illustrate that fact without the distraction of personality or surroundings. Abstracts can also accentuate the texture and form of the body by juxtaposing it against alternative forms such as flowers, trees, rocks or even man-made structures.
Anonymous
Definition: Anonymous - With no name or unacknowledged.
For some people, being reduced to a series of body parts is not exactly what they had in mind, but neither do they want to show their faces to the world at large. A series of shots whilst wearing a fancy dress ball mask could be just the answer. Dance, pose, sit or recline, either in or out of costume.
Another alternative would be in a studio setting where lighting is positioned to put some or all of the face in shadow, or props are used to obscure the model.
If you would like to explore this avenue of modeling I'm sure you will find the results rewarding and you may even go as far as to hang these pictures on your wall. Your age and shape is irrelevant in this style of photography, so please drop me a line if you think you would be interested.
