| Blog posts on Photographic Therapy She cries. Her body changed forever. Between foundation and hydrogenating skin creams, she gets teary-eyed. She looks down between her feet and sheds tears, not pounds. Her husband assures her–child-bearing, age and weight are just the by-products of a great-life, yet her self-esteem is the lowest its ever been. Her friends recommend photography as the cure-all, not the typical tummy-tuck, face peel, lipo, botox or faddish diet. More clearly put, photographic therapy are the words she hears, her friends say it’s not only therapeutic, but an experience like no other, a graceful dance, a romance, titillating without the sex, a process that can rekindle the romance with her spouse of many years. She’s in, let’s do it, she says. First she locates a photographer with experience, not just any photographer, but one that understands glamour photography, one of the hottest genres of photography thanks to celebrities taking over the precious, magazine-covers, real-estate once reserved for super models. In her quest, it must be a glamour photographer who understands the history of this genre, back to the Hollywood roots where photographers like Ruth Harriet Louise from MGM Studios in the 1920’s would glamorize celebrities. A glamour photographer who knows the outer-beauty of a woman is the skin to the more precious inner-beauty, her soul, her self-esteem, her love, her fantasies, her charisma, her sexiness, seductiveness, sultriness and sensuality–her good life.--An Excerpt of Photographic Therapy by Rolando Gomez |
