duality

Celebrating the roles of the feminine breast co-existing harmoniously, all while maintaining ones own self worth. In my experience balance between these forces keeps all in the picture

Herein lies the dilemma. Men have sexualized the breast which is a natural food source for our babies. Women have to play both roles often simultaneously. You my dear are a genius.

Thank you so much Helen!
I admire women who realize and maximize their power. For the good of the whole family and her self!

This is a very amazing work! I do like what you have tried to capture here, and think you have done a wonderful job. What i like the most though, is the babies loving stare towards its mothers face. Now that is priceless!

Very clever , it speaks volumes. Beautifully captured & thank you for not portraying the man as some sort of sexual deviate as we are not all out to sexulize everything.

A sensational & powerful, yet tender image. As others have said, it speak volumes. I love the two streams of communication – eyes open & eyes shut. Well done :-)
David Harris
This is stunning! It reminds me of an old master painting or something they would have painted!
I think it was Rambrant who painted the three faces of King Charles which is in the Queens private collection! This reminds me of that! Stunning work!
Rachel Valley
OMG! You made my day! Thank you….
Glenn Alderson
Great image & concept, well done.
Jacqueline Baker
Did a search on breastfeeding and came across your image which i think is brilliant! I’m with Greg Francis, i don’t see the man as being sexual but more tender and loving…excellent!

helen, I cant say this is a bad idea, but it’s just a bad execution. your lighting is very un-flattering, un-attractive and un-artistic. The idea awesome, but i’d think about lighting it from sides (edge lighting) and it would add some very nice depth to your image visually not just mentally. Hope u don’t take offense to this comment, but I see that everyone is simply saying how good it is and not really helping you grow.
