not completely sold on the expression, but I like the pose and the monochromeness of it.

oh, my. this is.. capturing. the emotion, the frustration to the point of near-tears, it seems. frustration at something as simple, but all the same aggravating, as not being able to get a shirt off, to the deeper, more profound hurt of being "almost magnificent." god, that's a beautiful expression. those words, as well as the model's face. you are so right when you say that pain in the spotlight isn't visible. real pain. the spotlight is so blinding, it vanishes everything in its wake except the fake, the false, the pretense, twisted caricatures of emotion, unreal and hyped up for the audience/camera/society.
god, this is lovely. fantastic. just fantastic.

Well this is surly to be considered as a lascivious, sex-ridden emotive portrait to others perhaps, but to me, I think it as I read the message that even though pain can be hidden inside, even in the most vibrant people, i.e. to feel ''almost magnificent''. That's what my thoughts are to the message. Also, that looking at your expression, and the pulling of shirt, is it not one? You seem as if trying to rip it apart from you of anger or frustration, something of a pain in the bright lights. I may not be right on the dot, but the camera, the atmosphere is like the returning from the dark, i.e. comparing to the balance of black and white in the photograph, it has troubled regions with visionary takes to tell, indeed.
What may I ask is said on your arm? Lovely font, by the way. As for taking the shot, I'm very impressed on the way the photographer took this shot, because it looks rather severe compared to your other photograph of what I seen. Also, I admit, very good lighting, and it's not to 'bright and blind', because if one was to stare so long, they'd be blind, why I have glasses.
I will leave you with this bit of advice, I have always believed that for life to become beautiful in photography, it all depends on having a good environment, and emotional expression, and also the message, i.e. facial and body language, anything mainly to spoke out. With the change in our style or fashion, the message changes, too. With that in mind, I open a thought on how this is beautiful, and highly a first with the intent of changing something like this from besides having what people think is sexy, to something of a powerful evokion of emotion, i.e pain or frustration, not to just evoke sexual manner into it, I see something more than that, I don't see anything sexual about it. To evoke in others of what you expressed in this. Honestly, this very good, and impressive. Thank you.
