This is a reference photo that I took to get across a pose I wanted someone to hold. It was as close an approximation I could get to the idea I had in mind, which I’ve spoken about before but I’m feeling too lazy to go digging right now to link it here. Essentially the idea didn’t work in without editing beyond processing, which is something I don’t like to do. As such, this is as close to it as I could get.

There wasn’t anything in particular that I was looking to convey with the idea. I was looking more at form than anything else, so par of the course. I do think I was looking at an idea of fragility and trying to be guarded about it. A defensiveness.

This is my submission into Leanne Cole‘s “Monochrome Madness” for this week. Margaret of From Pyrenees to Penines hosts the next one, and she has chosen the theme of “Walls”.

This challenge is open to all, and I recommend joining in. If want to, check out more information about it here, and include the tag “monochrome-madness” when you share your photo. If you’d prefer not to join in, then at the least check out Leanne’s photography, and what other people submit.

I hope you enjoy.
