I've
worked with lots of models who are very comfortable pulling off
their clothes and letting me take photos of just about anything
I wanted to. Even so, what's hardest to get from them is
the pose and expression and the mood that comes when they are
focused entirely upon themselves - and not me or the camera.
This is
not intended to be a masturbation series - though it may have
some of that. Some images may not be erotic at all to some
viewers. But it is intended to capture the way we all are
in our private moments, when we're alone and just enjoying the
simple pleasures we can give ourselves.
At first
glance it seems like I'd have hide in closets for candid photos,
but I don't think that will be true. Some models
will be able to do this; others I may capture as candid
moments.
Again,
this is likely to be a long-term project, but I want it started
in 2007.
