Comment on What's new with John Peri by JohnPeri
I applaud and share your position on photography. I find your work inspiring and congratulate your models on the fortitude and grace with which they have allowed themselves to be photographed so beautifully.
I recently wrote a short idea on the female nude which I hope you will allow me to share with you:
"The female nude is an attempt to capture visually the sumptuous fluidity of the female form and express contentiously the quandary of its identity. It explores (and exploits) the intersections of the sensual/sexual personae and the immaculate/sacred iconology of the feminine as codified battleground betwixt appearance and Self. In essence, the nude proposes to express the female body –via the medium of light and shadow, of time and space– as visual/virtual celebration of the un/conscious struggle, the silent strength, and the naked fierceness of form embodied in the sublime ferocity of not only being but of becoming visibly as well as essentially female –feminine, woman–. "
It is not as extensive or well thought out as your statement, it was a simple attempt at capturing my feeling towards the medium and the theme of the nude.
I only wish people would treat me with the same courtesy and respect as you and your models deserve.
I wish you and your friends my best, and hope that you will grace us with more visions of beauty.
