Artist's Comments

I wanted to highlight the issues surrounding violence towards GLBT People in countries such as Iran, Sudan and West Africa.

As somebody who is herself very much queer identified,
I've been appalled and shocked hearing about such things.


( [link] good article example )

I was unsure how to approach this, so I took a series of deliberately grainy photos which I wanted to look old and poorly lit, perhaps from a kidnapping in an old building. thankfully I had just painted my house at the time, so the half finished wall did perfect.

My partner heather was happy to model..
perhaps a little to happy though >_>

This is my first attempt at a pre-planned photo-shoot with a person..so I was unsure how it would come out.

I hope you enjoy it.

Yeah I took down the first. I thought it was terrible. Remind me NEVER to edit on my laptop screen again. I took one look at it on my big cinema display and just went: "...ew"

I don't know why, but the model is distracting me from the topic >_>

i like it. i think the blindfold doesn't suit that well to the theme, but i understanhe whole concept of the kidnapping and what you wanted to go for.
it kinda scares me...

Nice shot, but it doesn't look scary for me. Model somehow looks playful (or maybe it's just my mood;)). Still the phot attracts the eye.
