from far away (series)

Andalucia is a very beautiful part of Spain - well, one of those many  places where Spain convinces you to stay forever :-) But is is very  hilly. It is very nice because it offers often spectacular views, but it  is a bit a problem for me, because I am looking to buy a house to  realize my new crazy project and I can't be somewhere without a quite  large piece of land that doesn't fall down the hill very steep. Also, I  don't want a very curvy street to reach my new home...

These  photos might give you a little impression of the beautiful nature. In  fact they were taken on one of those wild, untouched beaches that are a  bit hard to find and to reach (no parking within 20 meters...) and  therefore one is mostly alone there while only a kilometre or two away  the people literally sit on each other on the beach...

I call  this series "from far away" because for once I didn't get very close to  the model. I took the photos with a 50mm lens and - you already know it - of course I took more from much closer that my "power"-patrons will see tomorrow,  and from very much closer for my "special"-patrons...

Talking  about hills and curves, which I obviously love as well in nature as in  women, let me place a short word about the scars on Blue's breasts. I  already explained it once, but for my new patrons:

Blue had very  (extremely) large breasts before. She suffered a lot, physically for the  weight, the burden on her back and the problems you can imagine when  running, but also mental because people almost didn't see anything else  of her than her huge breasts. So one day she decided to make them  smaller. She told me, that this was one of her best decisions in her  life. Since then she really loves her body - and this is one reason why  one beautiful day she came to Barcelona to let me photograph her in the  nude.

The surgery has left some scars, but they don't bother her  at all. In fact her breasts have a beautiful form and, apart of the  scars are completely natural, there are no implants, just less volume  than before.

I asked her if she wanted that I retouch the scars  in the photos. She said, she'd leave it up to me as I am the  photographer, but for her those scars form part of her and even more,  they symbolize a wonderful change in her life - and so, if I don't care,  I can simply show her as she is.

And that's what I do and why you can see those scars here and in other photos.
