Felt Presence

Have titled this felt presence as it relates to the theory behind much of my imagery. Whilst I love beautiful aesthetics and sculpt models to what I sense to be their most beautiful angles it is the emotional presence that I believe adds the real impact to my images. So many people become camera conscious when being photographed and to me this blocks the sense of authenticity. So I am very aware about having the model drop their walls and just be present in the moment. Often such presence cannot be easily seen as 2 shots with almost identical aesthetics will obviously look the same. However even without eyes being visible in the image a shot with real presence can be felt. So a saying I am now very much aware of is that presence can be more felt than seen. I believe that the model in this pic looks great but also feels great.
