Description
Self portraitAfter deliberating for some time, asking the advice of those around me and you, my fellow Deviants, i finally narrowed it down to 2 choices: 'Release Me' or 'Momentary Fault'. Im sure by now you can assume which i chose haha. In the end i felt as great a title 'Momentary Fault' was, i felt the the idea of the photo suggests this is more than just a momentary thing, its been a long-coming, hard journey in which the stress of it all seems too much for the figure. Hence 'Release Me'. To me the figure shows desperation and pain and i feel the title concludes what he could be thinking.
Thankyou to all those who helped

This is amazing! I really like the fact that you are your own model. It really makes it completely personal and it's kinda like you're facing your own battles head on, especially with this one

My question is,'Why would I ever consider releasing you?'
This is quite erotic. I can imagine just what this man has gone through.
You've captured his pain as well as his desire to have it all end. Excellent!

I like the change of texture in the body, looks like he's emerged out of a sand that's buried him way to long. The arms in perfect balance as his mind seems to spin in such a hurry his hands clasp to gain control. Also amazingly strenuous colors that make your eyes take it all in. Thank you so much for posting this. It's beautiful.

i must say with ur work, lighting is something ur good at. u almost always can show others how you picture the moment.
great work
and boy oh boy are you skinny! lmao
i can't think of anything creative right now. it's like 6 in the morning, but umm...
the photo reminds me of someone dealing with a lot of stress... and is like remorsing.
idk... something between those lines or has to do with that, would be a title i would think of.
"remorse"

My little brother would like to suggest "shock, horror" but I'd suggest maybe...
"It's a Stretch"
"Torn Wide Open"
"Exposed"
"Implode"
Wonderful image, there's a great shock-factor to it! Smooth lighting and wonderful symmetry!
