Bob- is that some kind of skin condition he has, or did he have a bad accident with a Wagner power painter?
That is some kind of skin condition. He is brave to come to my studio and asked me to take a series of portrait for him. He believes that taking photos of his body can be a process to accept himself.
This is a case of "bathing suit" nevus with many accessory nevi. The are highly likely to undergo malignant change and are most difficult to manage. Sad for the young man. Wonderful photograph.
A profound and moving image Bobpin. Full of humanity. The subject grabs the frame and leaps through to the viewer. This image is unlike the constant pretty girl syndrome that most photographers (large format shutter clickers included) take as meaning nude. Don't get me wrong, I love beautiful women, its just the lack of any depth or attempt at any human emotion beyond mild lust is somewhat maddening. I am a figurative painter and focus very much on the unclothed figure. I can't understand why it is so difficult for camera users to make the leap into meaningful imagery. As a tool of communication the figure is closest to all of us. I have never quite figured out why photography is stunted and cliche driven when it comes to the nude.
Seem to recall this was with a Cooke PS945.
