Thank you to all the photographers that shared their best sexy and intimate shots Sensual And Intimate Photo Contest with chances to win a Canon 20D DSLR Camera and more!
A special thanks to friend and professional photographer Michiel de Lange for his collaboration as a guest judge. Michiel de Lange was born in the late '60's in South Africa, but have been living and working as an architect in a number of countries for the past ten years. His photography work, which he’s been practicing since the late ‘80’s, mainly focuses on capturing people, and their daily lives within different cultural, religious and social environments. He is especially drawn to the real, rustic lives of people earning their living in streets around the world, and has traveled to more than 30 countries to experience these street cultures
"The Oxford Dictionary defines "Sensual" as "...sensual relates to gratification of the senses, especially sexually, ...". The interesting, unexpected point of view chosen by Ben, focussing on the direct sensual gaze and glossy lips of the model, with beautifully blurred foreground and background interests, makes the viewer feel as if he / she is the model's sole object of desire, like being part of the action. It is this quality that makes this the winning shot. Most of the other finalist images present more of an objective voyeuristic "viewer" or "spectator" perspective. Ben's image manages to draw the viewer in on a personal level by making them almost feel the sensuality and intimacy exuded by the model themselves." - Michiel de Lange
"A more dark interpretation of the theme, that almost attains the qualities that made the winning image stand out, but in a more voyeuristic way. Here the viewer is a spectator to a sensuous lady perhaps experiencing a deeply sensual dream, but is not directly part of the "action" or dream. Loving the low-key treatment, which adds all the right ingredients to the mood this shot wishes to portray." - Michiel de Lange
