It’s no secret, I love an artistic twist on my pictures. It’s why, last year, I had a whole week devoted to the work of amazing artists, digital and otherwise, in my February Photo Fest. And this year it would feel all kinds of wrong to not include the work of others.
This isn’t the first image that Stubs Luv has tweaked for me.
He was responsible for an edit of my favourite picture of me ever, which I shared for Five Years And Counting. He’d chosen that one, but this is one I sent him and asked for. I love the way the wrinkles on the soles of my feet are highlighted by his edit. The way the lace seems to shimmer across my skin. And the label is almost readable, a comic-book size tag. I love getting to know people in the wider NSFW community. The talents of the folks I find are mind boggling.
Of course, the more creative people I have in my world, the less restricted I feel. I’ve more freedom in developing my own style. I’m starting to branch out with my own artistic style, adding a twist here, or a tweak there. My preference is, and likely always will be, for natural images. Ones with minimal edits, which illustrate my story as authentically as possible. But every now and then, just like writing erotica, it’s nice to branch out into photographic fantasy realms.
My world is a full rainbow, I live very much in technicolour.
But I’m learning it can be quite freeing to tweak my story. Not to make it better, just different. Perhaps less personal. But always with a joyful twist rather than artistic drama.
Thank you for joining me for February PhotoFest 2023. This is my fourth time joining the month long celebration of erotic and sensual photography. If you’re enjoying it please do go and check out the previous years: 2019 was an incomplete month. I skipped 2020 due to not blogging at the time but 2021 was a joy to plan and complete, in spite of lockdowns. 2022 was a little more relaxed behind the scenes, but jam packed with pictures and memories I love.
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.
