Indecent Exposure

The Indecent Exposure idea was born some twentyfive years ago in London, triggered by the aloofness of the average Londoner toward, in my view, exciting people and objects alike. The first image of the current series, Indecent Exposure - Britta, shows a woman exposing herself to a large group of pedestrians. It is showing the confidence of this woman during a moment of self-empowerment while taking the onlookers out of their comfort zone. The local residents in and around this shoot location have a reputation for being a bit miserable and grumpy by default. Looking at the photograph you can tell that many of them do that cliche justice while some can't help but crack a smile An additional difficulty of photographic composition had to be overcome in Indecent Exposure - Catarina (image 2) as the frame worked just right from the chosen camera position but I decided, at the last minute, against the models boots which then require ner to jump in the air a great many times to achieve the shown result. Her head. with her hai flying, breaks perfectly through the London horizon line. Part of the multi-award-winning Indecent Exposure series, this latest addition pictures Nicole exposing herself to passers-by in San Marco Square in Venice, Italy. She is rewarded for pushing past her comfort zone with smiles and expressions of admiration by the crowd, creating a feeling of empowerment, acceptance and community. These reactions stand in stark contrast to the first image, which caused a vastly different reaction in its small-town location.
