The angel licked his candy wings
and closed his silver eyes.

He believed in love and many things,
charming smiles and pleasant lies.
..

His skin was new and soft and shiny.
He walked trough nightly landscapes;

cherished pretty thoughts so highly,
he suffered from bright pastel-headaches.

…

.

I think I saw
his mirror-image slmiling strangely.
It may be..

…

Some times I dream of burning angels
in the distance.

With that little light in my eyes,
I smile and wave:

Goodbye mister angel.

I am somewhat happy with this. The texture that hints artificiality.... And the strange colours!
(Plus the angle. Is this like what you like call a good leg-moment? XP)

The concept:

The obvious idea behind this project is to achieve a completely innocent portrayal of bare skin/’nudity’ in the realms of photography. Most usually images containing considerable nudity (in this case though, not complete) are perceived as at least somehow sexual, or forceful in a manner relating to it. In my drawings and paintings I mostly choose not to portray clothes, for the reason of making the image timeless (clothes are usually very time-bound) and usually to emphasize innocence and neutrality. This also removes the image from a social environment, and brings it to a more subjective and (in a sense) ‘introverted’ level.
This is something I would usually never do, but in this case I’m not feeling like the usual “myselfs” at all, and on top of that I do fit the concept I had in mind somewhat (I have a bit less gender and age characteristics than just the average person).
What this project is about, is just extremely subjective. I use some ‘symbols’, but try to mostly communicate with impressions. So concentrate on looking and feeling, rather than analyzing/thinking. Same goes for the poems (I will add poems to the pictures that lack them when I am less tired)
I wanted to go for a feeling of unearthliness and detachedness (colours/textures) , but I still consider many of the images photography instead of photo-manipulation (apart from those that feature more than one me etc.)


Superficial notes:

Most of the images are a couple weeks or so old (as for changes: My (natural hair) hair has grown a bit, I learned to wear it a bit better (it was killed by an evil hairdresser). I think I am slightly thinner now. I changed my nail polish. I’m sick (fever and stuff), I look tired and…sick.). Images are mostly taken in a soft light with a very long exposure time (up to as much as 5 seconds) for a soft look. Mostly avoided light from above and the side for a smooth look with not much emphasize on details of the body (there’s a couple with some side light for a less ‘boneless’ look) I’m not making/going for my prettiest face or pose in every picture, so it’s in a sense more intimate than what I’d like. But it seems I chose to do it that way, any way.
And since someone might ask, the black hair and the longer blonde are wigs. That greyorsomething shortish hair is my own. I do not take full responsibility for it how ever, since it was destroyed by a psycho hair stylist (as stated/complained earlier).
And I know my legs are big and muscular, don’t laugh >_< I walk loads more than anyone would imagine. O.o *walks*


The images are not mature in any sense, and if you’re like…traumatized, it’s for other reasons or something.
