>>3111430I see what you mean but making you see her as a sexual object before a human is part of the point. Her bottom half draws the eye in, trying to find that crevice between her legs she's guarding.
Then as the viewer's eye wanders with his conscious focusing on "I want to fuck her," his subconscious mind sees the gaurdedness, the hidden face, her arms covering her chest and core.
To an experienced photographer, it just looks like my model gave a bad pose or that I'm shitty at focusing or something (which I am, but I still took plenty of shots where her eyes are in sharp focus, and none of them spoke to me as much as that one.)
But to someone who isn't aware of these "rules" we've set in place, it impacts him so much more.
I think that's what they mean when they say nobody can really teach you photography or any art. You can't learn it consciously, it's far too complex. All you can do is try to learn as much as you can so you know when to break the rules long since established.
Here's another one. I'd love your input.
