shoot & click: Tina McClelland
last night i couldn't sleep & i found myself searching through endless websites till my eyes could no longer stare at the screen. the best things are often found when you aren't looking for them, and i came across this fantastic site -- eros guide, an erotic e-zine. here i found a photographer that charmed me. her name is tina mcclelland and i want to be just like her. she doesn't just photograph nudes, but also musicians. we all know that rock n' roll was all about sex anyways.
i posted this in my other livejournal in a more XXX format, but everything here is just beautiful on the eyes. i didn't want anyone to miss out on how fabulous of a photographer this woman is, and how even after just looking at her site i started to think about photography in a different way. last night, i picked up my joycam and just clicked till there no pictures left. sometimes it's fun to take your time and plan out your photos, and other times it's fun to just point and shoot. you end up with some interesting results. but those are stored away for another time. now, on with tina...
British photographer Tina McClelland captures the fleeting sadness in beautiful women like herself and the dynamic energies of superstar musicians. She says, "I don't go out of my way to provoke any kind of reaction from my subjects, but I always manage to get something that could reflect sadness or loneliness from them. I guess they are emotions which interest me the most. Such emotions are there in everyone, we've all got issues, but it comes and goes within seconds. That's the beauty of this medium, as told many times before: capturing a moment in time that passes so quickly it's hard to register with the naked eye."
