The black-and-white photograph titled "Look at Me" captures a moment of striking vulnerability and raw emotion. The unknown model, devoid of clothing, stands as the central subject, embodying both strength and fragility. The monochromatic palette accentuates the play of light and shadow across the model's form, emphasizing contours and textures in a way that color photography often cannot. The model's expression and pose invite the viewer to confront themes of exposure, identity, and perhaps a plea for recognition or understanding. The title "Look at Me" enhances this narrative, compelling the observer to engage deeply with the image and the emotions it conveys.
Beneath the moon's soft, silver hue,
There stands a woman, strong and true.
Upon the wall, her story calls,
A testament to courage tall.
Her gaze is firm, her stance is sure,
A symbol of the dreams she bore.
Through trials faced and battles fought,
Her strength and grace were dearly bought.
A guardian of the past she stands,
With wisdom held in gentle hands.
Her presence whispers to us all,
The timeless tale of rise and fall.
In this captivating monochrome portrait, Franzi exudes an aura of sensuality and intimacy. With her eyes closed in a state of passionate surrender, she delicately shields her bare chest with the graceful arc of her arm and fingers. Bathed in the soft glow of natural light cascading from the right, every contour of her figure is accentuated, adding depth and allure to the composition. The camera, positioned above, captures her from a unique angle, offering a perspective that emphasizes her vulnerability and allure. Shot with precision using a Nikon D750 and an 85mm f/1.8 lens, the image freezes this moment of raw emotion and seductive elegance, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in Franzi's captivating presence.
*The perforation of the nipple to apply jewelry has been practiced by various people throughout history. Male nipple piercing was reported to be done by the Karankawa Native Americans, female nipple piercing is practiced by the Kabyle people in Algeria. In the western world it potentially dates back to the 14th century. The anthropologist Hans Peter Duerr traces the earliest known practice of female nipple piercing as a fashion statement to the Court of Isabeau of Bavaria (1370 to 1435), queen consort of France, quoting Eduard Fuchs he describes that:
...fashion eventually led to the application of rouge to freely display nipples placing diamond-studded rings or small caps on them, even piercing them and passing gold chains through them decorated with diamonds, possibly to demonstrate the youthful resilience of the bosom.
Here is Selina with her piercing.

Bei diesem Foto wollte ich das Licht von der Seite dominiert. Durch die Abdunklungsvorhänge in dem Zimmer, konnte ich mit Klammern die Lichtführung so gestalten, dass es zu diesem Foto kam. Es wurde keine zusätzliche Lichtquelle eingesetzt.
Bei diesem Portrait mag ich besonders den Blick. In schwarz-weiß kommen meines Erachtens nach die Kontraste besser zum Vorschein. Es wurde mit einem Reflektor etwas mehr Licht auf das Model gelenkt, da unter dem Kran ziemlich viel Schatten vorhanden war.

Mein Name ist Bernhard, Freunde nennen mich Bernie. Seit 1978 habe ich mal mehr mal weniger mit der Fotografie zu tun. Es ist aber trotzdem nur ein Hobby.
Meistens fotografiere ich auf Reisen, die letzten 4 Jahre hatte ich auch die Modelfotografie für mich entdeckt.
