Patrice Delmotte likes to work with amateur models where the relationship between the photographer and the model is akin to a game of seduction: One is trying to be the most beautiful, the other is trying to make his model the most beautiful. And yes, the reward is to see the model’s happy face when looking at her picture. To his eye, the naked body is a most beautiful landscape, sometimes static, sometimes moving. As suggestion is often more appealing than nudity, he often covers nudity with a transparent drape which the model flourishes in a dance movement. The line that distinguishes artistic nude and mere pornography can be tenuous at best, so inserting poetry into his photos avoids any suggestion of vulgarity. |
