Lonely Heart – Projecting Intimacy on Lifeless Matter

Photographer Justin Monroe is known for his amazing take on male erotica and different subject as well as nuances it takes. He is able to take upon any subject matter in regards to eroticism, loneliness, ego, self-love and turn it into an amazing visual experience. This particular shoot deals with the need of any human being for closure, the need to be loved, to feel something and above all intimacy in a world which offers very little of it. It goes a step further when the void of human presence drives an individual to project such a need (intimacy) to project it outwards onto lifeless matter. At times we are forced to become are own personal saviors, in order to survive the tumultuous loneliness of feeling unloved, lonely and abandoned by the rest of the world. Justin Monroe captures such feelings with a distinct artistic touch and unique composition. Enjoy it…

Love me Not – Short Film Stills by Bell Soto

Bell Soto continues to impress me with his wide range of artistic expression using not only photography but also short films. He has a unique way in capturing the human experience and its expressive soul in ways which are so unique it makes you wonder about the meaning and beauty of it all. In his short film Love me Not, he takes on a different approach to the human interaction known as Love. It gives a sense of loneliness, dream like state as well as a deep feeling of existential dilemma when dealing with such an important feeling to most humans. Love is an abstract notion, it is volatile. It is as much invigorating as it is consuming, one can almost say love is a living entity in its own, non corporeal as much as imaginative, ethereal…

The Monastics – Secluded Expression of One’s Self

The word Monastic derives from the word monastery or its characteristic and lifestyle of someone who gives up all earthly possessions in order to pursue a life of religious piety, seclusion, very disciplined and contemplative. This photo-shoot takes on that idea and expands it into a more viable expression of the individual, adding to it the abstract, grace and color. At the same time it offers a rare opportunity where a way of life, chosen by so many throughout the centuries, is transformed into a modern almost surreal contemplative expression. The dramatic facial expressions or lack thereof, feeds onto a feeling of loneliness and strong psychosis. Viewed in such a way, it is visually a breathtaking work of art.

It Takes Three to Tango – Brazilian Dancers

Brazil just keeps on showing how sensual and hot is, and as you well know my fascination with this country just keeps on growing more and more as I see models and art coming out this beautiful country. Photographer Ronaldo Gutierrez brings us yet another way of sensual expression through dance, setting and light. Dance has always been a sensual art, the bringing together of two or more people in unison, in an expression of beauty and grace. Enjoy it…
