Perpetualism

Fantastic Paul you do amazing work. Love your point of view as well.
Very well written. Nice jobs by the models to got to give the props to them as well. lol

Very tastfully set.. i like this

Great composition, perfect color tones

great shot. fab tones.

Great picture and a very interesting line of thinking.

Fantastic!!!... Such a powerful image. The message is conveyed perfectly within each pose. Has a Ying & Yang balance to it. Love the hues and lighting in this one. Fine art at its finest!

I never submit…unless the situation is right ;)

Hmmm Paul you are a master love your work

Great!!! Colors are awesome!

Masterfully done as always. although I’m not sure all that nudity was really necessary…

WoW, a definite work of art.

“perpetual learning curve of creative discovery” appeals to me.
Interesting work

stunning shot! well done

Stunning image, Paul. magnificent tones. such a beautiful and singular style. I don’t need to see your name to know “what we have here is a c.2007 Vanzella.”

Paul!! – loved the shot – loved the description – love the direction you’re heading in!
all great stuff!!! and thanks for sharing.

Stunning image Paul! Love the tones in this too

Great work, Paul.

Interesting how your eloquence somehow legitimises the sexual fantasy!

Brilliantly done Paul!!! The skin tones and the silver coloring is really incredible. I also love your explanation behind this.

I really like your description again… although without reading it I could have had a different interpretation of this work. Anyway BIG VISUAL IMPACT

Picture perfect!

Excellent description! Very thought provoking image! Well done!

Your words Paul out do your photograph by universal proportions, a great shot but your words are a clear inspirational beacon to a consciousness we are all headed toward. I take my hat off to you, ..

Your work is brilliant. The color, style and composition are all represented so well by your literary description. Sheer greatness!

nicely done and well written

Love the way you make the subject seem so alive in essence yet not brutally real! That’s your thing mate and you do it well! Those silky glossy tones on the skin are just fab! :D

Word. Jo looks great as ever, your visual style is phenomenal, and those words ring so true.

Love what you’ve written…...

I like it :)

fantastic…well done

you get the point across well. beautifully shot. energy well conveyed. a compelling shot.

This is so amazing it really does blow me away…...

brilliant…..........

interesting sexual metaphor for the human condition! Reminds me of that Nine Inch Nail’s song. love the light and toning Paul. very well executed work.

Luvit! Another great piece of work

Your words grab my attention more so than your image this time Paul….. and that IS saying something.
Fine work.

Just stunning.

very powerful image and i love the description!

A perefect way to express how you approach your creative journey Paul. Pushing the boundaries, stepping outside the box, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. Without your words this image could be construed as so much less than it is meant to be. The combination of the two however, provide a wonderful glimpse inside an artists mind. Thankyou.

The silver touch is nice…excellent narrative!

I must be getting old I noticed the shoes
Nice work dude

Stunning image! Congrats!

Beautiful lighting.

love the highlights where they occur Paul. Excellent narrative.

Quite captivating and thought provoking!

Love the light and the wonderful silvery blue tone on this series..magic work Paul…the words are thought provoking;)

Words to ponder.I like the glow in the treatment & blue tones (well, it’s blue on my screen). A well-thought-out concept.

great work. it is so true about dominant and submisive lifestyles.

BIZARRE LIGHTNG EFFECTS YOU GET
ALMOST LKE A ULS
UNIDENTIFIED LIGHTING SITUATION
HAVE I SEEN THAT BOTTOM BEFORE M YES TWIS NICE PIC

Interesting use of the same person to model both roles – all dichotomies are fundamentlally contained within the individual, even if they only express one of the poles overtly.

great work Paul !

and some fluctuate between dominance and submissiveness

Your pictures really do tell a thousand words and once again, I looove that treatment!

Another great photo Paul – i do love the soft silvery tones on the skin and the moody lighting. Your writing is very thought provoking. I do believe we are all capable of being both at different times in our life. I agree with you about the limitations we set holding us back from creative expansion. I freed myself from the rat race a short while ago and slowly but surely the restraints are coming off and allowing my dormant creativity to re-emerge. Phew!

Hi Paul, yet another “outside the square” image from you! Do you have any limits?! Here’s a few words / themes this image inspires in me: silver, love, desire, graphic, The Matrix, blue, Twlight Zone, vintage, power, 2010, skin, attitude, cold, luxury.

It’s just remarkable work. Thanks for showing it off.
– David.

To me it looks as though the model is missing her stocking on her left leg below the knee?

Great work Paul and Co.

Awesome work, Paul.

Love the words, the lighting and the concept.

I’d maybe straighten up the wall a little, but it’s a minor point on a cracking shot.

Tim

Great composition,interesting thinking, definite work of art, like u pictures
:)Gorm

Paul, I have to say I didn’t really get at first that the models are one and the same, so it wasn’t till this dawned on me that I could really appreciate your meaning here. It’s like the kneeling persona is looking up to the dominant version of herself, ruefull thinking ‘this is who I need to be… my submissiveness is holding me back’. Your treatment of the image supports this as it has an illustrative feel and so would be less likely to appeal to an S&M freak. Very tasteful illustration of your thought-provoking narrative. Yet another Vanzella masterpiece!

Masterful.. The color is supurb!

I would love to learn how to post process like this, it looks so surreal and amazing i love it

Its really neat that you can explain things in words and photo works and still not confuse people. Both are clear and to the point.. well done Paul..

Fashionably late as always! this is as always fabulous i love the soft blue light and the idea is excellent a fine job as always!!!

I’m on a perpetual learning curve of creative discovery.
And thank goodness for that!!!! Looking forward to watching the journey.

Another Vanzella masterpeice. For me, it’s the way that shiny corset really contrasts with the muted tones. The curves and skintones remind me of old Frank Frazetta paintings. This has your trademark ‘dreaminess’ to it Paul. Fantastic.

no end to your talent

Very nicely done

Nice point your making brilliant work well done !

Powerful statement and image to match, I love your hightlights, they create the feeling of an illusion, which I guess is what limitations are…thankyou…

Great work!

i thought the meaning of pictures was to make words minimal? nicely done but…???

great work Paul love it.

Paul.. Paul.. Paul… i like, well done

perfect….in many ways..lol..:) yes but if I may be so BOLD …what happens when the submissive becomes dominant..lol..or the dominant willingly choosed to submit…lol..do we not call this life? Wonderful thought provoking many faceted art… spectacular

In the words of Bob Dylan, “Everybody gotta serve somebody…”

great colours!!very suttle tone!!

Extraordinary!

Awesome work – must have missed this one, but glad I came back to have a look around – Great work Paul – love that lighting

Very hot Great treatments. She can wip me any time :)

Wow Paul this is fabulous. I love the almost metallic feel you have achieved in this.

Brave … Very brave

love the colours they look like satin and silk beautiful

Well Paul.. on what ever level one arrived at this image..I have to say.. it screams of Dom and Sub tension..and I love it! What a great capture.. ......... ....................... .......................... I sit here waiting for more! ... ... ... more?

Paul – love this image and your words convey such stimulating concepts.
For me there has been huge self awareness come from exploring that space of dominance and submission and the pain at the threshold of each. Love the title.

paul…never stopped to read the description…..me like a lot!

sg

WELL, IT IS…......

Great image, cool concept!

Keep coming back to this.. GOD someone save me!

Out standing work Paul! The lighting and tones makes this scene feel dream like and surreal, and you have captured the erotic mood very well!

You have a wonderful sense of theater,Paul,superb,love it!!!!

wow.

Wow wow opps A fine shot so sexy and full of passion. I like the way you gave it a steel color.
Pat

Fantastic colors and a real work of art! Lovely image!

well put..great image to go along

Great work – i’ll show this one to the Cat

That is great work and good ideas about life !

Paul, I LOVE your writing. I did something really immature and searched ‘bum’ on redbubble and came up with this photo and some really insightful thoughts. Who would’ve guessed ;-)

Like the way you think… Kink

GREAT!

Paul,
Your words so perfectly describe what S&M is all about – the release of power, or gaining of it, to substantiate, negate, or enhance what we all endure in OUR REAL LIVES. This portrait is beautifully done, of course, as you are a loving lovemaker to all your photos…..the colors and light are subliminally, as well as visually, stunning.
The two girls are gorgeous, and a dog leash never looked more like something one wears with absolute pride. You know me – I am gonna dig a shot like this, but moreover – what you write, having DONE this shot, speaks more and more about YOU…thank you for letting us in. Your efforts are well received, admired, and dare I say, are the stuff of inspiration, emulation and perhaps even, subtle copying – the sincerest form of flattery. This shot is about the appeasement of desire, and I am loving it.
SPOT ON.

Your welcome, Paul. Your mages move me beyond almost anything I have seen here. I recognize genius. It is HERE.

wonderful image… thought provoking and well planed and executed. sexy and yet slightly disturbing at the same time. you have captured a part of the human essence.

this is so friggin brilliant!! Not just the image, but the concept,,, Love this, and sooooo needed to hear those words,,, much to contemplate on,,,,
