What I’m After

I want the viewer to feel some kind of connection with my female subjects; not necessarily sexual attraction, but perhaps intimidation, discomfort, ambivalence, respect... The model needs to project something of her personality in the photo. I like body modification since tattoos and piercings say something about a model's personality. The challenge for me is to capture a nude model's image in a way that doesn't completely objectify them, but rather forces the viewer to see them as an individual - strong, sexual and in control.
