  • Adrian Carmody

    Adrian Carmody, 4 months ago

    Love the contrast of black against the white of the bathroom… it makes the suit and the bath jump out of the photo

    These get better and better… can’t wait to see more people sitting/standing/lying in the baths

  • Coralie Casey

    Coralie Casey, 4 months ago

    Great concept, this one works brilliantly.

  • John Robb

    John Robb, 4 months ago

    This has a wonderful hint of Rene Magritte about it – that surreal vision that makes you ask why only to realise that there is an unknowable and unresolvable element to the picture. The humorous element works beautifully in this context.
    The lighting is fantastic – radiating and bathing the room. The location great – the brass elements connecting things together – also reflected in the colour of the walking cane.

    Beautiful work Jess.

  • Mark Hayward

    Mark Hayward, 4 months ago

    Fantastic work. A surreal and thought provoking image. Michael Alesich has some kind strange ability to carry off and own each and every character he assumes in the variuos roles he assumes. Well done!

  • Michael Alesich

    Michael Alesich, 4 months ago

    Jess, I love the shot, I’m overawed by the final pic.
    I feel so sombre though.

  • sparklydina

    sparklydina, 3 months ago

    oooooh, this reminds me of the Victorian acid bath murder who disposed of his (female) victims by leaving their bodies in baths of acid so they’d disolve…..a cheerful thought…..really, really admire this though Jess, it’s just beautiful :) x

  • Blackroaches

    Blackroaches, 3 months ago

    There comes a time in all our lives where we come to a path, that splits in to two different directions, and you say to yourself what was I put on this earth for?......what am I supposed to do in life?..... Well I think this photo answers part of that question you are asking yourself, to see such beauty like this must mean 1 thing, and only 1 thing, is that the fist path you have already accomplished, because you have found your …..“Heart….and….soul”…..from such a great image……….!

    my favourite in the series. i think for the sense of stillness, the absurd formality, and the contradiction.

  • Ed Michalski

    Ed Michalski, about 1 month ago

    Great composition – the lighting is absurdly difficult technically. If you could have bracketed the image, you could have shopped in the window from one with a lower stop, while preserving the man in the tub. Very nice detail, focus and creative arrangement.
