Ali, No Not That One...

Muhammad Ali was certainly a figure I grew up with in my life and he is part of my history. But this is my Ali as in Ali Harris. A few photos from a photo shoot we did recently for a magazine. Can't tell you which one until we get closer to publication date.

A Wonderful Compliment...

Although I have posted this photo just recently I am posting it again for good reason so please allow me this. And it isn't a difficult photo to look at! This is American Gladiator "Fury" from a photo shoot she did with me recently. As part of a discussion the photo was posted by myself on OpenPhotographyForums.com. I received back a comment, one of the most articulate compliments I could not have imagined. Authored by the founder Asher Kelman, it is even more greatly received because of the standards and quality that are demanded at OpenPhotographyForums.com. Please read the remarks following the photo...


"...I enjoy the fact that although she is handsome and has a beautiful figure, she is not presented as someone's tittitillation or plaything. I'm amazed by the extensively different ways we can portray beautiful women. Frank Doorhoff's glamorously lit women leaping into the air, Doug Earle's nudes behind what seems like a confessional curtain or Nikolai's brazenly provovative young women, all present a different value of the fairer sex. Imagine we go from a grandmother who climbs mount Everest or tends to an infant to a friend imaged with a 100 year old soft-focus lens as if she's a movie star like Lauren Bacall!

Your own pictures are so different from anything we've had before in that the woman is strong, physically strong and shown for her physique and yet still is feminine. There's no fawning for nature, but everything she does defines her body more as a perfect muscular machine, rather than a sensual trap, the source of nurture or drama we have not seen till now in OPF..."

"In this picture, she has a leather jacket over her shoulders, a heavy chain taught over her breasts with no submission to any simple sexual tease, (even with one soft shadow of the chain traversing her pants), rather to show that like the chain, she can hold her weight, guard her own person and is substantial and a partner worthy of respect, but on her equal terms."

"The chain and her arms cover her nipples allowing her full breasts to be seen but not displaying any tawdry cheap thrills are available. This is not about the sex, but rather about the power of the women despite her being of the weaker sex..."

"...I never imagined that someone could present a partially naked woman in such a pose and I'd not brush it off as trivial...."

"I look forward to seeing more of your work with her."

Thank You Asher!
