You're an amazing artist and photographer.
When you shoot nature? You COULD just shoot the same 3 sunset pictures over and over and call it a day, but you don't. Instead you find angles on the beauty in the world and sharing it with people who more than likely will never see Finland.
When you do your slice of life pics? You COULD just shoot pictures of your pets and call it a day. You don't. Instead, you show the realities of being an artist that can never, and would never want to, shut that creative urge off, and find a shot in what most would consider the mundane.
Your portraits, SFW, Mature, and NSFW? You COULD just stand nude in front of a mirror and let the camera do the work, and call it a day. But you don't. Instead you heed the truth that art is telling the truth about yourself, you share intimacy with the world, and you show care in making sure that every image is a split-second of a story, both yours and in those who see inspiration.
And that's why I follow you and upvote when I can, and feel lucky that I was referred to your work. Art is a hammer, so slap those naysayers in the face. :)
I'm sorry but the only word I see in your comment is MATURE, and I can't get over it before you explain what the hell that has to do with my portraits?!
Mature is usually used for art that is adult, but not graphic, like nude paintings, tasteful nudity, pretty much. :) For example, the portraits in "Far From Perfect" would be considered mature, as it's a woman in a shower, wet clothes, but it's done for artistic reasons, as you state in the description that you were trying to evoke a 1990s vibe. Only reason I used it is I see it in some art communities I follow, where they delineate between general, mature, and adult/NSFW regarding subject matter.
Hope that clears it up. :)
The rest of the internet uses that word very very differently! I was dying over here, slapped on some retinoid cream all over my body and almost ordered botox from the dark web! Phew, glad we got that cleared up.
Otherwise your comment was very touching and I'm glad it's safe in the blockchain for me to come back later if I need a little pick me up. I'm so happy when ever someone sees that I really do put in the time and effort to create something real and different. Thank you.
