Photographed Nude
7:59PM on May 04, 2009
I have never been much of a camera hog and never thought I would find myself at home, in front of one. But here I am, posing for the camera. (gigglz!)
Up until now, I have been photographing and recording myself. In the last year and a half, I think I have learned and grown a lot. Who would have thought it but I can actually take a decent picture! (lol) Learning about lighting, composition, posing... it all intrigues me and I luv it! My heart grew more excited at the prospect of someone else shooting me. I knew it would allow me to express my creativity in new and different ways. As much as I love it, shooting myself is very limiting. Now, how would I fair being nude in front of the lenses of friends?
It's a good thing that I am selective when making friends. (smiles) DNaz, Doc and Calif treated me like a princess. They were respectful and beyond thoughtful. At first, I thought I might be apprehensive. Some people become shy when naked. I wanted my personality to translate into the photos. I didn't want to be overly aware of my body. It was important to look as comfortable as I usually feel and am.
Surprisingly, to myself, I felt free and beautiful. Posing felt like a natural extension of myself. My boundaries were respected and that made it easy to find comfort, in my protective bubble. I felt like human clay, sculpted into timeless images. The body has always been Art, to me. Each shape, size, color and texture are each beautiful in their own way and I felt beautiful! All I could do is hope that the spirit of what I felt was captured on video and in the pictures taken.
We'll save masturbating in front of the camera, for another post. ;) Until then, tell me....
How does being in front of the camera effect you? Does it bring out your inner rock star or make you shy away? How about when naked? hehe
My heart is grateful to have a place to learn, grow and find so much support in my endeavors. Lately, I have been taking on a lot more than I thought I ever would. Thanks you guys for all the luv, thoughts and energy.
