RE: Reality Check 1: The Most Naked I Have Ever Been
As others have commented, the third is by far the strongest of this set and the most beautiful. Disposition towards vulnerability, or an attraction to the unique, call it what you will, but its profound.
The best portraits are those that express human emotion, untethered by limitations or expectation (canned pose). They often come by mistake or pure luck for some photographers once a model feels more comfortable.
Ironically as you stated, the reverse was true, but in that uncomfortable moment in selecting to capture and post this, you provided a new dimension previously missing from your work. Courage.
Thank you for sharing that side of you.
Thank you for being so kind.
I find it really hard to truly photograph my purest unfiltered self, soul, you could say. Seems like even if I try, there is always a sort of film of something else on top. Of course, I often portray a character on purpose, but that's a different story.
