Concept
We've always had cats at home. Only 2 of them died on a natural way. I noticed both of them had a feeling... Some kind of realization they are at the end of existence.
Without any bound of society and in the middle of nature, I show a person. Being photographed on a surrealistic and experimental way. Unrecognizable, so you can fill in anybody you want, but especially yourself.
Running away from society brings her into a deep and psychological journey. An experience where she will come face to face with herself, life and death. The inner desire for change and alternation is gnawing. Loneliness and fear create a new confrontation between good and evil, unknowing what is to be defined correct or bad... The soul is not longer attached to the body, and her soul not longer to the world.
The photos are unmanipulated. Effects are obtained with a long shutter time, manually working with strobes, colorfilters, and a simple flashlight.
From the same series, please also enjoy:

An excellent portrayal of the surreal. It looks like a Tori Amos song - that's a compliment.

How about this one:
Cornflake Girl
Never was a cornflake girl.
Thought that was a good solution hangin' with the raisin girls.
She's gone to the other side givin' us a yo-heave-ho.
Things are getting king of gross and I go at sleepy time.
This is not really, this-a-this-a-this is not really happening.
You bet your life it is, you bet your life it is.
Oh, honey, you bet your life it's a-
Peel out the watchword, just peel out the watchword.
She knows what's goin' on.
Seems we got a cheaper feel now all the sweetees are gone.
Gone to the other side with my encyclopedia.
They must'a paid her a nice price - she's puttin' on her string bean love.
This is not really, this-a-this-a-this is not really happening.
You bet your life it is, you bet your life it is.
Oh honey, you bet your life it's a -
Peel out the watchword, just peel out the watchword.
Never was cornflake girl - thought that was a good solution.
Rabbit... where'd you put the keys girl?
Rabbit... where'd you put the keys girl, oho.
Rabbit... where'd you put the keys, a yes.
Rabbit... where'd you put the keys, where'd you put the keys girl?
Oh huh huh huh, oh huh huh huh huh.
Oh huh huh huh, oh huh huh huh huh.
And the man with the golden gun thinks he knows so much (nobody knows),
Thinks he knows so much, yeah (nobody knows).

I love it that you feel creepy about this.
It's telling so much about you. But I agree I could be very, very wrong about what I'm thinking now too
thanks!

was this just like a random naked person or a friend?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's a very good friend of mine... I don't see random naked people that often
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
that begs the question is it akward telling a friend to strip down naked and frolek through the wood? or is it just one of those things they knew they wanted to do but had to be asked just to be sure it was ok?
also have u ever been to a nudist colonie?(is that spelled right?)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I asked her if she wanted to be on some photos I wanted to take, and she had no problem with that. I said "naked" and she answered "ok" 
I have been to nudist camping sites, with my parents, a very very long time ago. I was aged 10, I think. But that has no relation with this image or the girl at all

I really like the concept, you could perhaps, crop it down to retain more focus on the main focus, but i honestly like this just the way it is.

Thank you very much.
I wont crop it - now she is lonely and that's what I want her to be
