oh shugga-wooga draws don't be offended, i was just joking. i didn't watch you just because you're beautiful and talented and mostly butt-naked, it's because you inspire me to be a better artist by studying your pics and poses and body and practice my hobby and passion. what's wrong with having a passion for 2 things i love--women and art? if you don't mind i do wanna do a portrait of you one of these days. if still afraid i might be a pervert or the ever-so irritating art thief take a look in my gallery and let me know if my body of work is up to snuff.

Haha.... U totally misjudged my sense of humour, cheese.... I'm not offended. Just gotta pull u into line when you're being too cheeky... lol.
Perverts are usually a little more sneaky and skeezy, so I know you're a good dude.
Haha! Draw away, if you like. Just make sure if ur using a tog's image as your base you also let them know, or drop me a line and I will.
Looked over your port (strokes chin) "hmmm.... not bad....."

ohhh drop dead cutie-patootie, you've made my summer. nice to know you do have a sense of humor unlike some overly-sensitive people in this world. nothing wrong with putting me in my place every now and again, at least it lets me know when i'm crossing the line.

Oh god I wish it were summer here.... Off to shoot in a storm drain, prob cold, but at least it's stopped raining....

yeah things are reversed down there on the flipside of the equator huh? well at least your problems are over, no brush fires and such. up here though ours is just beginning, tempers flare when it gets hot and it's been hott since last month in some areas and earlier than that in others. i tell people with the harsh winter we had on the topside of the equator the summer was gonna be worse, FAR WORSE. that's a scientific fact.

That's a great photo, but the depiction of insanity is more impressive for me if the model isn't styled in the "look, I'm a crazy person" gothic look with black toenails and dark eyeshadow. The styling of this model shows that she is playing what she likes to play in everyday life, and that takes away from the photo's impact. It's more impressive to see the normal person go insane than to see the fringe person play insane.

Meh, there was a deplorable lack of "normal people" present on the day so he had to make do with me....
I generally don't style myself normal (if by normal you mean trying to appear to have minimal or no makeup), it looks wierd on me, my eyes disappear and my face has no shape.
This was a (superbly well caught) snap whilst waiting in the hallway, still dressed in the straight jacket from the morgue shots (which were medical themed). I had become rather attached to it.... (waiting there to be let out at some point)
Our styling on the day was left up to us, but to be honest I work with photogs who are aware of my look and wish to work with it, not against it. I can tone down, but I get my best work when I am styled messy, gritty and out of control. Mastertouch recognises this and works with me in this way. Beautiful, natural art nude just isn't my style, I have purple and black hair, a partly shaved head, piercings and a healthy dose of "feral" as MT calls it.
While I don't want to eliminate certain genre's, I also have enough residual everyday "crazy" style to suit certain styles better. So you were right there, allthough i'm not REALLY crazy, so if I spoke to you in that manner through this image then my styling has achieved SOMETHING, even if you are not entirely comfortable with it.
So, I get the crazy vs sane person juxtaposition with the straight jacket, but like I said, he had to make do with me.... Haha
I could have turned up styled "normal" but then everyone would have thought I really had gone crazy and would've made me stay!

Hey, thank you for your reply. I hope you don't view my criticism of Mastertouch's image as a criticism of you. Because it isn't. There's (at least) two people involved in the creative process of making a photo of a model, and any photo of a model should be criticised taking this into consideration. I was talking to Mastertouch and was only critisising his part. I think you are a great model and you are performing well in this image. I wouldn't have chosen a model with this styling for this image, but then of course that is not the law, only my taste. I tried to explain my opinion (I would have wanted to emphasize the insanity), so I hope you can appreciate my thoughts even though your own opinion probably differs, even if you try to take the photographer's perspective on this question.
I do understand that there is always a large part unplanned spontaneity in a photo shoot, and my own photographs are far from how I would have made them when I look at them with the eye of the critic.
Like you (and I hope I read you right there) I enjoy taking photos, and it is more important to me to work with people I enjoy being around than to get the best possible result. So, I would probably choose you and take the exact same photo Mastertouch did

define the 'normal person' styling required to achieve this- and point to the 'normal person' who would frolic nude in an abandoned asylum, donning a leather straight jacket. and then not call it 'playing insane'.

I already defined the two styling details that most watered down the effect: toe nails and eye make-up.
As for normal styled people doing this kind of photo: I have been shooting nudes for several years now and ALL my models are styled extremely unremarkably in everyday life. Wanting to be nude in front of a camera and acting insane is something that very many normal women like to do.

thats nice...
i believe her makeup and toenails are residual of her normal look , and i dont agree this penalises the impsct of the image , or that the effect would be made greater by nude , pink or french toenails or boring -no makeup .
while i see your opinion or point i personly dont feel it plays much effect and the mood is created by the pose and photographers perspective and control of light rather than her toe nails

Thanks for your reply.
None of the images or real life patients of mental institutions that I have seen were styled in a "gothic" (or any other social fringe group) look. All people I have seen in mental institutions were very "averagly" dressed.
While I agree with you that the present photograph is impressive, I still see this image as "someone playing insane", not as a successful artistic depiction of insanity.
If I want to create an image of homelessness, I don't use a model who in his everyday clothing style plays with the idea of homelessness (a punk), but someone who, like real homeless people do, tries to look normal under un-normal circumstances.
If I want to create an image of necrophilia, I don't use a model who in her everyday clothing style plays with the idea of morbidity (a goth chick), but someone who, like real necrophiliacs, tries to not appear suspicious and blend in with the rest of society.
I guess you get the idea.
Insane comes from "not sane", so to emphasize the negation of sanity, I would use the sanity as contrast. From normal to insane the distance is much greater than from crazy to insane, so a crazy model waters down the impact of insanity, because I see her behaviour on the background of how she probably behaves in everyday life anyway, and I guess (knowing some people dressing like her) there is not much difference there. So what we see here on the photo is a crazy person playing herself, not the jarring contrast of a "normal" person acting insane. Which is okay, but not what I would expect from a photo titled "Asylum".
But since we are here in a gallery with lots of fetish images, my critique is out of place anyway

it is someone playing the part.a fetish photographere shooting a fetish model in an abandoned mental hospital .
it isnt photo journalism i doubt he aimed for a 'successful artistic depiction of insanity' which while disturbing would not have the controled artistic expression on the models part - and in actuality would be less artistic and more documenative
luckyly Mastertouch is not you, and while we can find these shocking juxtaposed images in your gallery capable of chilling us to the core revealing serial killers in sweet conventional church goers. mastertouch rather produces work more inclined to document the tast and the style of subculture participents, and his models are all alternative, fetish and interesting in their daily life - thus their appeal to use in his often so beautifuly light and randomly composed FETISH ART.
punk is also not a style surounded by homelessness concepts and depiction . i have never seen a homeless person whi can afford the accessories and hair fproduct and makeup it takes to refine the details of the look.. punk is an anti conventionalism movement expressed in its fashion and style a need while still to belong somewhere, to not be dictated to by societies normality .
i find it interesting to see what you would do with the concept in your style but i dont think that degrades the quality or artistic value in this particular image which s not an attempt at depicting insanity in its raw state but a refined tast of abnormality, depicting an abnormal as aposed to an infirm . its a alternative fetish portrait , hapens to be located in an asylum !
i love too how you poked in the (i know what i'm talking about , i have friends who dress that way , ha ha ha)
i think prehaps you draw disapointment in the image as you require it ito be something it wasnt intended to be . since it differs so much from your own style ?
i have no real investment in this photo - i just dont feel black toe nails reduces the quality or impact of this image -
think of it as fetish art or alternative glamour and not photo journalism.
a side note- you'd not find people in a working asylum donning gothic apperence , piercings, nailpolish, makeup, they arnt allowed to have it - doesnt mean that if they got out they wouldnt wear that style-
howcome normals are the only ones allowed to crack a marble

Thank you for your reply. I actually agree with all you said. I think you are right in pointing out that I have a certain expectation when I come to this image, which is of a different genre than the one I would prefer.
Still, I believe that my criticism might give the photographer and model some valid feedback on how their image is viewed by some fraction of the public, and it will hopefully help them to more consciously achieve the look they are aiming for. Because from my own experience as a photographer I know that more parts of a photograph happen by accident than most photographers and models are ready to admit. For example, if I book a model, I'm usually stuck with the color of her toenails, when she arrives. So today I always tell my models to arrive completely unstyled (and with the haircut they show in their sedcards), and I cancel the shoot and let the model pay my expenses if they don't comply with that. I have too many photographs in my portfolio where the color of the toenails or cropped hair does destroy the image that I had planned. But of course I'm not doing fetish or "punk" style images but "simple", "natural" nudes.
If the photographer would reply to my comment, we'd know if the look of the model was planned or accidental.
I must however disagree with this statement of yours: "punk is also not a style surounded by homelessness concepts and depiction". Maybe we have different concepts of "punk", and maybe people live punk differently in our respective countries.
I live in Germany, and in Germany today the kids and youths styling themselves in what I would call a punk look love to hang out with homeless people and often live on the streets themselves, albeit with the security of always being able to return to their middle class parents' homes. Homelessness is a major part of what defines punk in Germany. Not all punks are homeless, but the most visible ones are and a majority (if not all) do regularly assemble, drink, beg and sleep in corners of public places, just like homeless people do and often together with them.
From your look on your dA pages I'd say that you might not be considered punk here, but "fashion punk". I don't mean this to be disrespectful, just as an observation. By the way, twenty years ago I was a punk myself for many years, living on the streets or sleeping at random people's places on kitchen floors.

interesting you are so pickey to that point- styling of your images must take a long time , ie details like finger and toe nails - i usually ask for specific requests on hair and makeup nailpolish so on. so the photographer gets what they are after without the huge wait while i then get ready .
however there were 14 of us colaborating at this shoot- 4 photographers running the day with a handful of nude/fetish models - the assumed styling was self and fetish for the models -
and no not a single part of me is punk !!
i dont think i have ever even dressed up in a punk style -
