LACED...
This photograph works for me on different levels. The photographer in me admires the aesthetics of the image: the composition, the lighting, the tonal qualities. The man in me admires aspects that are altogether more earthy. The provocativeness of two beautiful women in varying states of undress. The elaborateness of the costumes. The wanton, almost animalistic look in the eyes of the woman...

I’m definitely a ‘less is more’ kind of guy. But why should that be? Is it the apparent vulnerability of the model that’s exciting my desires? Or is it the opportunistic voyeur within my psyche that’s responding to the way that her...
