| Nikki Lee posed for Michael Luna's Photograpy |
"Initially I thought, it seems odd to erase the live features from her face. Vibrancy distinguishes faces. It gives the 'subject' a story,and the observer stories to perceive and engage, right? But this concept, for me initially, seems to separate the model. It disengages Nikki's body from the experiences that should be in her face playing and actively engaging in relaying the stories of who she is.
Photographs, and pictures freeze moments in time, but the added techniques to freeze women's face into disengaged placid expressions, or trapped pathos underscores the myriad definitions of motherhood, play, mystery, intrigue, and questions that should be swirling upward into the mists of Nikki's identities, thus making her more than a woman showing her naked strong body.
Now that was my first thought. I could be miles from the photographer's ideal, and concept. His approach might have been from a story line I am not privy to, or unable to discern." - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories august 17, 2012
