Progression – Elise

nobody@ipernity.com (Sol Lang) — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 05:37:01 +0000

Sol Lang has posted a doc:

When writing about my photographs I often weave in and out between writing about my model specifically, women in general and my own point of view of women or my photography as the art form that I have chosen to portray my subjects in. One thing is usually obvious to most who view these photographs. And that is that I bestow the ultimate respect upon the women who have entrusted me with their vulnerability of nude or semi-nude posing. They have exposed themselves to my lens and have offered their ultimate expression of erotica. The intended pose as well as the resulting photograph, both are with an end to provoke and arouse the imagination of the viewer. Elise and I both hope that we have done justice to this mission.

Milena's Studio Visit

nobody@ipernity.com (Sol Lang) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:53:02 +0000

Sol Lang has posted a doc:

It’s all starting to feel a bit too much. Flickr, Ipernity, Zivity, Facebook, my blog, my website, YouTube, DailyMotion… where, when will it end? The Internet is such an avalanche of information constantly coming at me and at the same time always beckoning for more content. As a content provider, I have been working hard to create images with praise as the only reward. God knows I have been getting a whole lot of that. More than I have ever imagined that I would. But I have grown tired. The rewards are fulfilling, emotionally, but as an artist, I find that I need greater validation. Perhaps financial reward, of which I see very little through this venue. Thank God for the graphic design career. It is what provides for sustenance. But I also feel responsibility to express myself and to put out a message that I feel is needed in this world of ours. To offer yet another voice that speaks to the conscience of humanity. To strive for the betterment of all. I believe this is the primary responsibility of the artist of today. So I go on to produce and present and exhibit.

Not What I Expected

nobody@ipernity.com (Sol Lang) — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 14:09:01 +0000

Sol Lang has posted a doc:

When I first set out to work on this image it wasn't at all what I thought I would get. As it was during a session with Kelli, there were quite a few images for me to choose from. But somehow this particular pose, with her legs this way, sitting on an office desk, excited my visual sense of erotica. Of course, as a male photographer, I see an erotic angle to every female physical gesture, but this was special and especially a pose attributable to Kelli, my model.

Maybe one day I will show another image taken during this shooting session, where we see Kelli in her entirety. But I am still working on those images and it may take some time before I resolve them visually.

Reclining Milena

nobody@ipernity.com (Sol Lang) — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 05:00:01 +0000

Sol Lang has posted a doc:

My photographic vision, in essence, is one of calm and serenity with intended agitation that would provoke on both a cerebral as well as sexual level. I use soft tones and contrasts in both my colour work as well as the black and white. Rarely harsh lighting with strong shadows. A dream-like atmosphere. Some would say that my models appear to be as if basking in the after glow of ecstasy. So there is a sort of odd tension that is developed between the provocation of desire and the calmness of fulfillment.

Kitchen Sophistication

nobody@ipernity.com (Sol Lang) — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 12:38:01 +0000

Sol Lang has posted a doc:

I am often asked which one of my models is my favourite. That is probably the easiest question to answer. It is kind of like asking a parent which one of his or her children is his or her favourite. Where I come from, one does not make such a distinction between their children. In the same way, I can’t do it with my models. Wheather I have chosen them or they have chosen me, it was a decision to work together offering one another their trust and opening one’s self to stand naked and vulnerable before the other. Yes, the photographer too, although not naked, is vulnerable during the shooting session. So, really, no, there is no favourite model.

But in the results of the sessions, every so often, there is a shot that stands above the rest. A “shooting star” photograph that I know when I am working on it, that it will get the most views, comments and favourites. Every so often, I have the good fortune of such an image. I know it when it’s there and my viewers, fans and general “Flickr” public know it, see it and delight in it. The comments start pouring in and the appreciation becomes overwhelmingly evident.

I will sometimes hold back on such an image, thinking “let me save it for just the right time.” When is the right time? Right time of day? Week? Month? If I had only one such image, I would just hold on to it forever and never find a good enough time to exhibit it. Thankfully, I believe that there will always be another. In fact releasing one makes it possible for the others to come flowing in. Like water in a sink. You have to drain some out to let fresh water in.

I believe this image is such an image. I am completely convinced that this image will be among my highest rated images. Friday afternoon is a pretty good time to post it. People unwind for the weekend and after a long hard week of work they can go see what’s new on Flickr.

This is Milena feeling the warmth of the natural sunlight as it streams into our kitchen.

Visually Sensational – Joelle

nobody@ipernity.com (Sol Lang) — Sat, 30 May 2009 13:50:13 +0000

Sol Lang has posted a doc:

What is erotic?
An image, a sound, a flavor, a touch?
A scent?
A deliberately well organized assembly of some or all of the above, in just the proper proportions can make the difference between a barely noticed glance, to an arousal that can render one to be completely out of control.

The skill of such deliberate organization is a skill that has empowered women and men to achieve great success in life. From political power to social status, financial success and the derivation of great physical and emotional pleasures.

As a contribution to erotica through the sense of vision, I offer this sensual image of the lovely model, Joelle, as she is bathed in the soft glow of evening light. Her grace and poise complete this image of sexuality. Delve into the large version to fully appreciate the ambiance created by the collaborative efforts of artist and model.

Milena Feels Liberated

nobody@ipernity.com (Sol Lang) — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 02:35:01 +0000

Sol Lang has posted a doc:

It's a special kind of woman that feels comfortable posing nude or semi-nude for a photographer. Consider her feelings when entering into the model/artist relationship. What are her thoughts and aspirations? Is she seeking fame and fortune? Is she fulfilling a fantasy of glamour? Is she just feeling naughty, knowing that men will look upon her with adoration and desire? Some models have told me that it is a "liberating" feeling to pose nude. I would like to examine the aspect of liberation. It is a rather strange word in this context. It begs the question “liberation from what?” How does posing nude give a woman the sense that she is liberated? I will continue to ponder this as I progress with my work of erotic female photography.

Although there have not been that many, the women who have posed for me have all exhibited what I consider to be extreme strength of character. Independent thinkers, often having experienced life, far beyond what would be considered the norm for their age, they thrive with ambition and drive, in pursuit of some goal or another.

Although I have not yet had an exhibit of these works (except on Flickr), it has been a pleasure to meet them and to collaborate with them on some of the most rewardingly creative experiences of my life.

Undressing for the artist is very acceptable behaviour

nobody@ipernity.com (Sol Lang) — Fri, 02 May 2008 00:27:06 +0000

Sol Lang has posted a doc:

So many behaviours seen daily appear completely acceptable. We as humans have developed a series of what we call "normal" beahviours just because we see them again and again. Can you site something that appears normal, perfectly acceptable and yet with a little bit of thought, realising that it is in fact totally ludicrous? War, patriotism, religion, are just some that come to mind.
