whYNOT Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Light, timing, poses, expressions - all excellent. Very absorbing, actually; and I especially am drawn to his long fingers on her slender neck. A movie still ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axiomatic Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 A movie still ? I'm not sure actually, I found it on a random blog and it did not have a description of where the photo came from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whYNOT Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Well tracked down - I should have guessed Newton; a master photographer, and an inspiration to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllMenAreIslands Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 He kind of reminds me of Jack Kennedy. I'm concerned he might be about to strangle her. Not sure if I like this photo actually. She is very attractive tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aequalsa Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I think that I'd like it if it weren't for his hair. Could land a helicopter on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is very attractive tho. For me that's what gives the photo its edge, and saves it from being bland, or cliched - the hint of violence introduces tension. ( It just reminded me of TF's 'rape' scene !!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya know, until you mentioned it that never occurred to me. I thought it seemed like he is about to position her head ready to kiss her.

Bourcet Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 The expression on his face made me think of a doctor inspecting a patient for some anomaly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenderlysharp Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 David Lynch's creative work contrasts the darkest aspects of the human psyche with the transformation of innocence into the strength it takes to overcome evil. Isabella Rossellini was a major muse of his for over 6 years. His work often symbolizes things that are churning under the surface of what we see. He claims to direct the darkness into his work but avoids it in his personal life. David Lynch holds an intense devotion to the value of human potential.
