I believe that a person's consciousness is perhaps the most powerful energy on the planet. However as with any power it can be empowering or destructive. The model in this shot , Penny, has an enormously powerful presence about her. She has a very shapely and strong body and also very defined bone structure. However it is her emotional depth that emanates the biggest impact I think. She is not always the most relaxed person I know but no matter what state of mood she is in being around her certanly makes you feel things. In this shot I beleive she is intense and is powerfully projecting this. However when she lets her walls down and is in her comfort zone the beauty viewed and felt is inspirational. This image is perhaps more dominating than I would like. However unless I am at my absolute most secure I find it hard to provide Penny with the envinronment she needs to let her walls down.

Tony R I think you are one of the best photographers of women that I have ever seen, period. And I really, really enjoy the intellectual as well as philosophical musings you populate your artworks with. Keep it up bro, the world needs more photographers like you!!!
Your comment is very much true. There is an enormous energy that can radiate from a being when it is self-conscious. Great pic to captivate this presence.
Yes think that there is a zone that any human can access that is very inspiring. The key is to realise this and work to break through the conditioning.
Thanks very much Peter. I have such a deep passion for my work but as with anything this deep I sometimes get doubts. Your comments therefor are very well received by me.
I really like your comments. I think they are a tribute to your respect for the model and express your artistic vision. We are swamped by so many images but your intent makes a difference.
Tony please do keep writing from the gut. It's wonderful to see reflections or responses that are more than the usual male animal grunt. Some people are very threatened by the power of female sexuality, including many females! I love the way you show such power with honest appreciation. I related completely to your comments and found the negative reaction of one observer saddening but predictable. He is a grunter it seems. Keep up the wonderful work in words and images. It occurs to me most of my novels seem to reflect female power unrestrained, perhaps that's why I connect with your work. Regards david.
