Great image, one of the best I've seen on this post. By the way, the light is great. It is what it is, great use of available light.
This is the way nudes should be photographed. Thanks!
Hello Marco,
Every time I tell him about the new treatment methods (hearing from other friends), he told me that he has already had those info. So I think he is watching the new technology and knows more about himself than us.
Anyway, thank you for your kind concern.

@bobpin : amazing picture! I think that he is strong rejecting the treatments. I feel whenever there is some sort of treatment that makes you a compromise between the "normal" and the "abnormal" you are never given the opportunity to accept who you are, how you look. it feels like from then on it's all about achieving perfection in some ways, and it's an everlasting road. (him coming to you to take his picture feels like he is beginning to accept, or at least want to accept, his disease.)
maybe it isn't a fair comparison, but a couple of years ago my IBS was really bad and I felt it was limiting my life to the degree where nothing but my health was on my mind. doctors tried all these different methods and treatments, and I was always hoping to get back to my normal state, and because they always had a new idea how to get me better my hope was always in that. it wasn't until I let go, when I finally accepted my illness, that I became better. when I didn't see it as a limitation anymore, when I learned to live with it and listen to my body.
the western medicine is like that, the doctors even keep cancer patients in hopes of a cure until their last breath, instead of giving them a chance to prepare themselves for the inevitable. there's no chance of acceptance.
sorry for posting this in a Nude gallery. haha, probably not the place to take this discussion. I'll take some nudes and post them here someday to compensate for the turn-off.
many gorgeous pictures here. as an amateur using this forum to learn and be inspired, what is your approach when you see someone you want to do a nude portrait of? I see how a wife or paying a professional model would be apparent alternatives, but I guess some of you must portray some strangers too, no?
Great shot, I like the lighting, great choice of background

This is a scan from an 8x10 negative. My scanner won't cover the entire area, so the image is slightly cropped. I intend to replace this with a scan of a contact print soon.
Camera: Calumet C-1.

I really like these shots, that twenties look is great
