No need to apologize. For some my work is sacred, for others it's profane. Some only see a girl in a studio showing her vagina...

Hahaha, you dont seem to lack an ego at least... thats for shure.
No but really.
I've been in this industry long enough now to tell when someone knows what he or she is doing in a studio.
And your skills just looks like any other amateur in this business.

But it wouldnt be the first time I see people liking pics like this anyways.

Its just so hard for me to understand what its all about, all that talk surrounding your pictures.
When I knew nothing about you I thought it was all just a beginners portfolio, and when I read all the words you had written I was more like "what a load of horse shit just to get people interested in letting you shoot them nude".

If your pictures dont speak for themselves without you needing to tell everyone how many times you've been published and how important you are in the photographical world and so on.. then its just pretty worthless adding all that now isnt it?

"Sacred" "Profane"... Jesus, just admit you like shooting nudes and get a kick out of it for gods sake!
;D

I've viewed your work both on dA and on your website, and it's very nice work. It's a bit on the dark side for me, but it effectively articulates a sense of inner turmoil. You seem very aware of the pathos, but avoid direct expressions of power.
85% of my work is purchased by women. Most tell me they see it as a celebration of feminine power, something that they don't see a lot of in the US. We are a warrior culture, and the bringing of life and nurture are rarely seen in heroic terms.
You seem to be aware that you are missing something, I wish I could help you grasp it. But that is your path, and I'm following mine.
