Behind the scenes photo shoot. Defiant in the kitchen. Portraying a character, model Kerri Taylor, is rebelling against the feminine stereotype. Hell, who wants to be in the kitchen! To cook and clean dishes. Today's woman has earned her equality with man. So it's time for men to get into the kitchen. Of course with bate like Kerri, it would be a pleasure to share kitchen chores. The kitchen session with Kerri was not as easy as it might look. The session was video recorded to produce this sho...
Behind the Scenes. Casually holding her coffee mug she was as beautiful and as natural as any pose she would enter even while relaxing between shots. I couldn't resist. I took the shot and she responded. http://sollang.com
Photographer Sol Lang says: My message seems to return to a need to be in the presence of feminine beauty. Experience it, appreciate it, possess it, express it and revere it. I want to stimulate while at the same time be stimulated. In the doing as well as the showing. The collaborative experience of an interaction between two human beings that have chosen an intimate setting where both can allow themselves to be open, trusting and vulnerable, creates an excitement that is comparable to only v...
Behind the Scenes. Series of photographs inspired by Marcel Duchamp. Slowly and skillfully, one step at a time, she places one leg in front of the other. On her toes, in her bare feet, her lean, strong body reveals her musculature behavior. What appears effortless is divine coordination of beauty. I am fortunate to be called the artist and creator of this series. I take credit when all I really am is the conduit, the messenger so-to-speak of this perfect image of natural beauty. It makes me wo...
My message seems to return to a need to be in the presence of feminine beauty. Experience it, appreciate it, possess it, express it and revere it. I want to stimulate while at the same time be stimulated. In the doing as well as the showing. The collaborative experience of an interaction between two human beings that have chosen an intimate setting where both can allow themselves to be open, trusting and vulnerable, creates an excitement that is comparable to only very few others.
The significance of the work lies in the creative process as well as in the final piece itself. It involves recycling, recovery, manipulation, and the alteration of "found" objects. My works are a personal vision of self-discovery and a recognition of continual reinvention. It is the shaping of the self through the creation of art and the development of the art through self construction. Like my personal journey, the "found" objects are brought to life and also transformed. This ongoing and ev...
Love [ME] Tender by Mary Bogdan. The Trailer. This series of intimate self-portraits has been a long time coming... it was my sister who was the "pretty one", the "thin one"... I grew up in her shadow... I was her little sister... never able to be mom's "favorite"... These are painful thoughts, years of feeling self-loathing... today I took these photos of myself with love & forgiveness, & thoughts of "I am beautiful"... chubby, but beautiful... My heritage was my sense of myself as a "fat per...

ParcMont-Royal 1, (TamTams) Sunday in Montreal, by Sol Lang. Like the love-ins of the mid-sixties and early seventies complete with (light) drugs and music, every Sunday afternoon in the summer in the city of Montreal is an outdoors park festival. This is the Tams at Mount Royal park. It has become a tradition among native Montrealers young and old and has become renowned the world over. A weekly event not unlike the love-ins of the late sixties and seventies. Peace, flowers, freedom, happines...
