Sleepy

Cathleen Tarawhiti

Sleepy

I’m not too keen on taking straight-on portraits as they can appear cross-eyed (as this does in the thumbnail), but I couldn’t leave this sleeping on my hard drive :)

    Those lips are incrediable. Wonderful model. Simply sexy not over done. Looks so natural.

  • Cathleen Taraw... replied

    Ah, here’s the lovely man with the gay pornstar name :) Thanks Meat.

    I know what you mean about the cross-eyed thing. I find that if you have them bend their head down or up just a little that it helps prevent that.

  • Cathleen Taraw... replied

    Thanks Matt, that’s very handy. I wasn’t ready and she wasn’t ready but she looked so lovely and I just grabbed it and snapped.

    I like it mucho grande, she looks like Liv Tyler…. which is interesting because in other pictures there’s the comparison to Angelina…. Anyway, what I like about the picture is the vulnerability around the eyes, almost as if they carry the bruising of last night,and for me that’s the story in this one, that we are all subject to the wear and tear of life.

  • Cathleen Taraw... replied

    Very succinct Daniel. And poetically said. (Frig, is that a word? I know someone who can tell me. And tell me off for saying frig). Thanks for your interpretation.
