Testing a new direction.


After an illness that has lasted far too long, I am testing a new direction in my work.  Generally the new work will come in the form of a still life genre, but I use that term very loosely, meaning simply that the objects that will make up these new photographs do not conveniently fit into the idea of "still life'.  Still, it is as good as genre reference as I can come up with.  I am sharing 1 new image here.  There is content in the work that one might call "R" rated but if you look carefully, there is nothing that you would not see on TV, and upon closer examination, there isn't anything at all that is offensive because the any specific reference in the images to sexuality is only suggested. I hope the followers of this blog will comment... either you will hate them, or love them.  And as always, please enjoy my other work at this website:    http://www.markfieldsphotos.com
Thanks,   Mark Fields

  1. Great that you are in gear again.

    Make a lot of these? Push the envelope? Have a catharthis? Maybe start to integrate live models?

  2. Glad you hear that you are recovering from whatever ailed you...

    The image; I neither love or hate it at this point ;)

    The prone figure seems to be asking the vertical figure for more assistance. The expression on the vertical figure suggests that she(?) has already lent as much as she can to the prone figure, hence the missing arms. While she(?) cares for the prone figure; she(?) is leaving it up to them as to whether they get up and back on their feet. I also get this feeling due to the size and strength of the woman's(?) shadow; it suggests that she(?) has a very large roll in the prone figure's life. A role large enough that using "tough" love as a means to help the prone figure is not out of line...
