Symmetry

Tony Ryan

Symmetry

This is one of my favourite shots. I just love her lines and flow and symmetry [I hope I spelt that right] Further the morning we shot was so peaceful and the model and I connected so beautifully. I truly think this trust can be felt in photos.

Further I love the aesthetics of women and believe that some have more power in their aesthetic than others. I believe the look of this model is so empowering and has been enhanced by her free and humble nature.

I am really passionate about running workshops pertaining to images such as these. I have set up a group to promote and feature these workshops.

    the body, pose and lighting are extraordinary … i really like the semi-opaqueness and composition of the background as well. a very pleasing image.

  • Tony Ryan replied

    Thanks Judith. The background is one of my dirty windows overlooking the city. Was early morning with soft focas and seems to add to the feel.

  • Tony Ryan replied

    Thanks Paul. I think the shot has much grace aswell. One of my favourite descriptions for what I want to present is Style, Passion and Grace.

    The unfortunate thing about being a 40-something male with a facination for the female form is the label that you usually get hit with. Trying to explain that you have little or no interest in jumping into the sack with all you admire usually falls on the deaf ears of the narrow-minded accusers. It is images of this quality that have some chance of making them see – perhaps. Although you have captured and displayed this body perfectly, ultimately this woman is the work of art. Lighting, form, pose and balance – all put together to create something more than the sum total of the elements. Thanks for the opportunity to view and marvel Tony.

  • Tony Ryan replied

    Thanks Graham for your very true and deep comments. I too believe this pic and many others taken by a range of photographers to be works of art. I finf the aesthetics of certain females to be the ultimate visual and perhaps emotional art. Regarding the sexual aspects and accusations you mention perhaps you may find some interesting thoughts on one of our forums that I have provided a link for below. It talks of sacred prostitution and intimacy instead of lust and possession.

    great photo!! im doing my first nude shoot this afternoon on the beach!
    do you have any others from this photoshoot?? how did it go for you?? im really hoping things work out with it. GREAT photo!!! i love the tones!!

  • Tony Ryan replied

    Thanks for your feedback on my work. I haven’t posted any others from this particular shoot but have plently of other nudes on my page. I think that the world needs more beautifully presented nudes. That the nude when presented with humility is a very empowering aspect of society. Look forward to seeing your shots.

    Best Wishes Tony.

    The lighting to beautiful, the way it highlights the edges of her features/muscles. Great Job! Shows the work of both of you – how healthy and fit the model is combined with your skill in posing and painting with light. Tony, you rock :)

  • Tony Ryan replied

    Thanks Laney,

    You seem to have a very deep appreciation of the female form.

    Best Wishes Tony.

    the arch of her back is beautiful. there is a calmness here. she seems very comfortable. Nice work

  • Tony Ryan replied

    Your comments are very perceptive. She was indeed very comfortable on this day. In my years of photography I have come to realise that a person’s energy can be felt in a photo even in a back shot.

    Distilled feminine beauty. As Graham wrote, this is aesthetic and sensual rather than blatantly erotic.

    The window provides the perfect lighting and a context that is much more real than is possible with a sterile studio setting.

  • Tony Ryan replied

    Thanks Jonathan,

    Appreciate your comments. Love what I do and think this shot is a great representation of what I wish to convey.

    Best Wishes Tony.

    Graceful and very beautiful Tony – I particularly like the juxtaposition between here pose and semi-silhouettea at the window and the hint of shapes on the other side – adds a sense of mystery to it as well.

  • Tony Ryan replied

    Thanks Geoff. This was one of those shoots that just clicked. It was a Sunday morning and both model and I were in unison. Felt there was much magic this day.

    Thanks Jenny, I really believe that the connection between model and photographer has so much influence over both the aesthetic and the energy felt through the image.
