In the Autumn of 2020 Sir had tasked me to create myself a new photographic task. I took myself off to a local graveyard and, in the crisp sunshine I stripped off for some naked yoga, aiming to capture poses throughout the flow with my camera. It was a successful mission, and I got some amazing images that I’m very proud of. At the same time my twitter friend, GentleNewman, offered his artistic editing services to me, and I gratefully sent off a few pictures.
The Cow Face pose that I’m melting into above had two different tweaks. This one is the softer, brighter and more playful of the two. I love the way he’s captured the light as it bursts into shot, while also maintaining depth and softness. I can feel the contentment I felt in that moment.
Quite unlike his alternate edit of the same shot.
You may or may not remember, but in December 2020 I wrote about my rock bottom. Cataloguing a particularly frightening moment in my mental health journey. The header was his other tweak of the same shot, it feels like a completely different time, captured and shared. .
Naked Yoga: An Edit is part of my fourth week of February Photo Fest 2022, following the theme All About Art
2022 is my third time participating in February Photo Fest. February Photo Fest 2019 was my first, with my second being February Photo Fest 2021.
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.
WOW!! THIS is gorgeous piece of work. This could hang in most any gallery.
It portrays a mood, tells a story and delights the eye.
Thank you and thank your editor.
Thank you Jer Bear, I wonder if I could find a gallery to exhibit myself in. Gentlenewman is very artistic, I’m very lucky to have found his friendship.
Agreed with JerBear’s comment! This is FANTASTIC! So much emotion captured here.
Oh this is beautiful … LOVE it !!!

Oh yes indeed it does. It is one of the things I love about editing images is how you can totally change the narrative of a shot by editing it in different ways

That is a cool edit.
I love how different it is from it’s sister image
Stunning edit!

He is a very clever man, isn’t he? I’m only just touching the surface of editing, so much to learn! N xx
