Cuteing edge photography? ;-)
Bruce,
Nice idea and photo.
But there is something that bothered me when I looked at the
photo in the morning, and it still does, when I am looking at it again.
You might remember that I've been photographing dancers. And having been
dancing myself a several different "vernacular" dances, I appreciate the
ergonomics of the dance. And I am convinced that ergonomic dancing yields
the true beauty of the dance, both social and performance versions.
Over the years, I've had extensive discussions on this and related topics
(including photographs of dancers) with several respectful dance
instructors from difference dances.
While sharing my thoughts dancers and photographers in my workshops on how
to make better photographs of dancers (from both sides), I've analyzed
together with the workshop participants the visible level of
ergonomics/comfort in different photos. And a couple of relevant aspects
of that are: (1) It is usually easy to see if the photo was taken in
motion (dynamic) or while hitting the pose statically.
And (2) in both dynamic and even in static photos, one can usually see how
ergonomic that pose was. This is especially apparent in couple's dances.
All this long prelude is to describe where my comment is stemming from.
(As it is a rather different perspective than that of your photography.)
We've already discussed the issue of pose ergonomics back in June of
2014. So, forgive me for repeating certain aspects of the same ideas
introduction now, 2+ years later.
Now, to the point:
What keeps swirling in my mind is that in this photo the pose is
rather uncomfortable for the model on the right.
I might be wrong, but I don't think you were going after tension in
this case, as I think it was the harmony. I think if the pose were more
comfortable, the photo would radiate more harmony.
But maybe you had a different intent. Hence my curiousity: Did you?
