Surfing the ‘net and came across this wonderful set of photos in which photographers show their imagination and Photoshop skills by creating an picture of themselves kissing themselves, hence “Selfkisss.” [Spelling intentional.]
What is surprising is the range of emotions expressed in the photos, and how true the photographers/artists were to themselves in creating a fanciful moment of self-love.
‘The marvellous thing about a photograph is that it captures a glance, a gesture, a moment, fleeting reality, the wellspring of emotion.
However, what is presented here does not exist, never existed and will never exist.
But through technical mastery, one stands before it, like a aerialist on his wire, in unstable balance between “I believe it” and “I do not believe it.”‘
