When I edit photographs, I keep my eyes and mind open to see something beyond what is in front of me. Sometimes its seeing the image in black and white, sometimes its seeing an odd gesture that could be even odder if turned sideways--and sometimes, like today its a combination of the two with the added notion of using photoshop to eliminate a chair to create a completely different type of picture. Now I think I'm going to work on toning this picture a little richer and cleaning up some things, but I really felt I found something in this picture that just didn't quite work out as I shot it, as a horizontal with the model arched over the chair. I reminds me a little of Chagall somehow and maybe even some Man Ray stuff(though its not in that caliber). It might give me some ideas for future shoots and attempts at making this sort of image without photoshop. Photographic illustration by Richard Sayer
