All of life is open to interpretation. This includes art, specifically, in this case, black and white photography. I’ve been enjoying trying different ways of editing my images to tell stories for a little while now. But I hadn’t considered the above quote, and I started to look at how my edits changed the narrative behind the pictures.
“Colour is descriptive.
Black and white is interpretive.

I had another image in mind for prompt week, but spent the afternoon climbing with a friend who has a massive lycra fetish. I don’t “dress to impress” as I don’t wish to lead him on, but it did remind me of a picture I took a while back. This picture. They are the same capris I wore when we went kayaking and I hadn’t realised about his taste in clothing! I was accused of being a tease, but my attire was not for his benefit, just my own comfort.
The picture I remembered was a pre-run image, curves encased in bright, tight lycra. Never meant for here, just a moment of pride that I wanted to share with Sir. The colourful original is a really cheerful photo, but it doesn’t take much imagination to see the happy woman who wears them.
What would I think, seeing my patterned posterior in black and white?
What story does this behind tell you about its owner?
If you would like, please consider supporting A Leap of Faith so I can add more monochromerotic and sinful sunday posts.
From the story of how the barefoot sub became the woman she is today, to toy reviews, with a hefty dose of contemplation, a sprinkling of erotica and a LOT of nudity in between, you can be sure to find something to tickle your fancy at A Leap Of Faith.
Gorgeous patterns, even in black and white this stands out x
They are some of my favourites x
I love those patterns, and think the black and white really makes them pop even more than color would. Love the quote too!

It is a good quote, isn’t it? Really made me think, which is, I guess, the point of prompts? N xx
Ooo you look so good in this. I love the pattern and it works so well in back and white. Great image 😊
Lacking in flesh, its most unlike me! 🙂 But a change is as good as a rest they say.
Ooooh what a a super cool image for prompt x
Just a bit different from normal LSB x
Loving the pattern and your curves. Black and white really does make the image pop!
It is so interesting looking at different pictures through the eyes of a monochromatic lens.
The patterns make me want to trail my fingers over and around them

Oooh, that sound perfect. Now I need to find someone to swirl their fingers around my swirls 😉
Great image, like everyone else has said such beautiful patterns. It almost mesmerising 🙂.
Where can I buy those leggings?
These are from sturdybydesign.com
Those swirls are fantastic, it almost has a 60s feel to this which makes me love it more!
They’re a bit special, aren’t they. Not as glorious as your hair in your Hide post. Just wow!
love this Barefoot x
oooh, this looks so intriguing!
