Additional Senses
THINKING:
Photography is a visual medium. But if we can infer additional senses then we can build a stronger image.
The senses introduced may be abstract concepts or sensations that are more physical.
The use of textures within an image introduces a sense of touch. This is a very concrete physical sensation.
Camera angles introduce a sense of height and even vertigo. Simple motion blur invokes a sense of motion. There are more abstract.
SEEING:
The use of fur within a nude image always adds a concrete sense: the sense of touch. It is very easy for us to imagine our fingers moving through the fur.
In this way, we have instantly added an additional sense to this image.
There is also an inferred sense of glamour and richness. Furs are always associated with wealth.
DOING:
Sammie lies on the floor with the fur rug beneath her. I am standing on a chair in order to gain sufficient height.
The shot was taken in a small sitting room. The lighting is from a studio strobe bounced off the white ceiling - this creates the very soft diffuse light.
