Good morning, Steemit! This day is starting out rough so I’m attempting to redirect the momentum with an early morning Steemit post. I was excited to see the return of @jamtaylor’s #steemitphotochallenge. It was the original photo contest and I’ve been participants for ages, so this was the right time and theme [human body] to enter. Without further adieu.
Vanessa
This photo was taken of my friend Vanessa early morning in a Los Angeles hotel. We were having a slow start to an actual shoot and I was experimenting with body scape shots for warm up exercises. I think it has a certain intimacy without being explicit.
Ryan Ashley
This photo is of my friend @ryanashley, winner of Spike’s Inkmaster and host of Inkmaster Angels. This photo really tells the story of how long we’ve been friends. It’s a nondescript profile with a crop that leaves out most of the face. It was taken in an attempt to showcase her tattoos.
Thumbtack Jack
This portrait is of my good friend in Germany, Alex Bedranowski, otherwise known as “Thumbtack Jack”. He was death match wrestler that put his body through hellish torment in the ring all over the world. This was part of a shoot for the cover art for his documentary.
Thanks for reading and considering. Thanks to @jamtaylor and @berniesanders for hosting and sponsoring the #steemitphotochallege.
I post daily. For more photography, illustration, art and the stories behind the work, follow me here @kommienezuspadt!
